Wowchemy site stopped working (Academic theme)

I’ve followed the Discord thread, which discusses how to update a site based on the Academic CV template from Wowchemy Modules to Hugo Blox. Unfortunately I’ve tried the steps suggested by Geo but I can’t seem to find a way to get the website to build again.

I’m pretty sure that I have the extended version of Hugo installed (installed using snap on an Ubuntu system in Feb-2023):

$ hugo version
hugo v0.128.0-e6d2712ee062321dc2fc49e963597dd5a6157660+extended linux/amd64 BuildDate=2024-06-25T16:15:48Z VendorInfo=snap:0.128.0

As for the installation of Hugo Blox, my understanding is that the updates to the go.mod and config.yaml suggested by @alcarazr (post Wowchemy site stopped working ) should handle that.

My website (see git repo) has a few customizations, in particular in the layouts/partials/blocks and views. Perhaps as @alcarazr is suggesting, this is impeding to propagate the necessary changes?

In any case I’m stuck, and confused as to how to proceed. Starting from scratch means adapting the old Bootstrap-styled template version (Wowchemy) to the new Tailwind-styled (Hugo Blox), and seems like a lot of effort, which I would undergo only if it was highly recommended.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!
