`About` Not Showing up in sidebar

[camachom]

Hello! Thanks for making this awesome theme. Here is the issue I'm running into:

I have a fairly standard config with:

menu = [
  { Name = "About", URL = "/about/", HasChildren = false },
  { Name = "Posts", URL = "/posts/", Pre = "Recent", HasChildren = true, Limit = 5 },
] # MENU PLACEHOLDER

And my file structure is simple:

But the About link does not show up: My Blog However, if I go the about page directly, it renders: https://camachom.github.io/about Here is the repository if anybody wants to look at the code, but again, I'm not doing anything custom.

Any ideas on how to debug? Thanks

Hi @camachom - I'm glad you're enjoying the theme! Sorry you're having issues though.

I cloned your repo and added a generic config.toml file. When I ran hugo server it generates the site with the About link in the sidebar, so I'm not able to reproduce the issue.

That said, I'm not sure if maybe there's a caching issue or something else at play? Everything you have above looks correct.

Try running hugo server --disableFastRender and see if that works. Otherwise, if you can add your config.toml file to your site's repo, I'll take a look at that and try reproducing the error again.

@lukeorth thanks for looking into it.

I did some further investigation, and it seems to be happening even on a completely new project. I started a new Hugo site from scratch and added the sample config: https://github.com/camachom/poison-test/tree/master

This leads me to believe something is wrong with my local or with a dependency. This is what I'm using:

• macOS Ventura 13.5.1
• hugo v0.117.0-b2f0696cad918fb61420a6aff173eb36662b406e+extended darwin/amd64 BuildDate=2023-08-07T12:49:48Z VendorInfo=brew
• lastest Poison commit which I believe is f2e68b8de70a166b1822127e856726ed2b680fb2
• tested on both Safari and Chrome both locally and after deploying to Github pages

I figured it out! I think the issue comes from having two config files. I had a config.toml from cloning poison in themes/poison and then a hugo.toml from making a new site in my root. Once I removed the theme's config file, everything worked as expected

Thank you 👍

Perfect! I'm glad to hear it's working now. 🙂
