"hugo server" command

[ghost]

Newbie question here. When I do "hugo server" command, the page I see has all the features of your Icarus theme, except for that I can't see the posts on the "home" page [I copied those posts from your "example" folder to the the root (content/post/) folder].

So in effect there is nothing published in the middle of the "Home" page. When I click on the links on top, such as "Tags" or "Categories", it correctly takes me to those posts, but not on "Home".

I think maybe I need to change the "front matter" in your "example" posts that I copied in my root folder, but I am not sure what exactly. Or is is something I need to change in the Themes folder or the "configtoml" files?

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Hello @monkeysandwine,

ad hoc I wasn't able to recreate this issue. Would it be possible to share your current setup with me? This could help to trace the error.

Of course. I have a Mac OSX El Capitan. I am not sure if I am giving the right info, so here is the file tree:

I have not changed the config.toml file copied to the root directory from your theme except for the shortnames (disqus, google analytics, etc.). I also copied the theme l10n.toml to the root data folder. Should I copy an index file to the root content file? Bruno

Oh! This ERROR below might be a clue to the issue:

Am I missing the "static" folder in my root folder? Should I copy it from somewhere?

Solved it. I found that I originally did not have a "post" folder in my content folder. I think that was the issue wrt the posts not showing on the home page. I am now working on changing the logos/icons in upper left section and the top menu. I am starting today some HTML/CSS/JavaScript online lessons to look deeper in your theme. Maybe some GoLang later. I'll send you the web address once the site is done. Many thanks for your help! Bruno

Glad to hear that it finally worked.
