Your site is… Unable to locate template for shortcode “alert”. Also “blocks”.

Well, I notice that. But what exactly that means?

It means your content is referencing a shortcode, but there is no shortcode template in your project.

I wasn’t expecting this, because a shortcode is used when a person wants to include it in their content. So, like, is this your content? If so, why don’t you know about your shortcodes?

I was trying to put my old wordpress on Hugo. I made the exportation process, extracted all content at the folder, installed a theme and tried to run… and this was the error that I received…
