I am deploying a GitHub repository to Netlify which appears to be set up correctly (mroberts333.net)
I followed the Netlify-CMS instructions for setting up the admin page by adding lines to the main index.html files in my site.
I added Git-Gateway, invited myself as a user, replied to the invite and was confirmed as logged in.
I then tried to open the admin page at mroberts333.net/admin, but received a “404 Page not found” error.
How can I fix this? I have been trying to get a viable Netlify site working for over three months now. The set-up process is one of the most confusing I have ever encountered. I follow tutorial instructions carefully, and still nothing works. Why?
I know I could develop the site locally, but the admin page is more convenient and is SUPPOSED TO WORK.
As of writing, my site remains unusable because of the apparently non-existent admin page issue. If anyone can help, please let me know.
Pushed everything back up to Git > redeployed on Netflify > deleted myself as a user > reinvited myself as a user > accepted invitation > tried to open mroberts333.net/admin > 404 Page not found.
The problem may be something to do with Jekyll using _ before folders - I set up the admin folder as _admin for this reason, and config.yml inside it as _admin/_config.yml - the site’s default config file in the main directory is named _config.yml.
I followed the config instructions on this page as closely as I could, but the config setup is not specific to setting up admin for a Jekyll site so there must be something wrong with my config.
