Tag page on gh-page not working but works locally

[mrprajesh]

Thanks for the nice theme. I have used sidey theme to create a blog at www.mrprajesh.github.io/blog which has base url /blog The problem is when I am clicking on the tag name at a post (say here) ends up in a 404 error at gh-pages. This works perfectly fine when I tested locally. Can you suggest what could be wrong here?

The source is here

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Sidey theme have tag plugin under _plugins directory. Github pages doesn't support plugins. If you want to use tags I would suggest netlify. Best, R

Sure. Thanks @ronv.

Use tag page hosted in github page with sidey

1. create markdown file (e.g. tags-apple.md) in _pages (feel free to make markdown file in custom dir under _pages)

2. edit tags-apple.md and save

   ---
   title : "apple"
   permalink : "/tags/apple/"
   tag : apple
   layout : tag
   ---

3. check_sites/tags/apple/index.html is created

4. you may use /tags/apple/ as tag page link in github page

There may be something missing or wrong steps above. Let me know if there's anything I can improve on.

example) my github blog : repository

Thanks, @hanarotg for a great suggestion. I adopted a simpler way to make that work.
