The minimum Hugo version for this theme is 0.57, is your Hugo version up to date?

gkaramanis commented 5 years ago

Same here. I can't see the posts on the home page, they show fine on archive. I have Hugo 0.58.3 both on my machine and on Netlify.

Love the theme, by the way!

@gkaramanis the theme's looking for content/post dir by default (you can change it in config.toml). I see that you have many other catalogs in content and none of those match default settings.

gkaramanis commented 5 years ago

I was trying different directories, must have missed it when I pushed to GitHub, sorry about that.

I've changed it back to posts but I can't see any posts. And it seems that they stopped showing on archives, too 🤔

panr commented 5 years ago

@gkaramanis OK, I cloned your repo (do you know it weights ~3GB? 😱) and based on your folder structure inside content, I changed contentTypeName = "posts" to post (it's because you manualny set type of each post, so you can name this folder whatever you want until you have this type: post inside your front matter. I didn't get that at first glance.).

Also you have your own index.html layout, so all your posts (files with type: post) are on route /posts (name of your folder).

I hope this helps you ;-)

Yes, I knew about the size, that’s the result of having a photography site for 7+ years 🙃 The structure was probably a little messy since it was a migration from Squarespace.

Big thanks for the help, I think I understood what the problem is! 🙏

panr commented 5 years ago

Fingers crossed then 🤞

gkaramanis commented 5 years ago

Just to confirm that index.html inside the layouts folder (from the previous theme) was the culprit. Thanks again!

Glad to here it! I'm closing the issue 😎
