Hi there,

Thanks for the detailed post on permalinks and the correct usage of url's. I wonder if you can help? I've got a client repo where the config files has been set to the latest jekyll 3 guidelines and recently when I updated the domain name to another host all of my blog posts get 404 messages, I have tried everything with no success!

For info the client repo is on the master branch of the user as I found this easiest and the post links use "href="{{ site.baseurl }}{{ post.url }}" and also href="{{ post.url }}" to test both.

I notice in your config file for this particular site, you have set permalinks true, isn't that against Github's recommendation?

Regards, Darcy

Hi @darcemac :-)

Yes, that setting is now against GitHub's recommendations. My to-do list has updating my site and posts for Jekyll 3 (which is the version that makes permalinks difficult/impossible on GitHub pages). At the moment, my posts do not apply to this new version of Jekyll pages.

I'm still willing to help/troubleshoot, though! Do you have an example of the failure you're encountering? I want to inspect the raw input as well as the rendered HTML output.

Hi there,

Thanks for your response, appreciate it!!

I did try a few config settings even going back to jekyll 2.0 config settings. The issue was that I had this piece of code: "collections: null" and for some reason this breaks my jekyll posts.

Its all fixed now, again many thanks for your response and have a great day!

cheers, Darcy

I've finally updated my site for Jekyll 3 😅 See commit https://github.com/wireddown/wireddown.github.io/commit/33003da6cd5558afda6ed44f72216f3ab2d3bf40.

One very small clarification: permalinks are still supported by Jekyll 3.0 and github-pages; rather only relative permalinks were dropped.
