"Successful" build with hugo, but pages missing

Hello,

I am a complete neophyte to Netflify and rather new to Hugo, too.

I had what appeared to be a successful deployment, but I see only the “front” page of my site. There is no indication that there are other pages.

  • The site is epic-neumann-43b7b1.netlify.app.
  • I am using Hugo version 0.73.0.
  • I am using the hugo-notepadium theme.
  • I am deploying from a GitLab repo.
  • When I view the content via hugo (hugo server -D) on my own machine, all pages appear.
  • When I use hugo -D on the command line on my machine, the output indicates 14 pages. However, the Netlify deployment log reports 7 pages.

Here's a phenomenon that I discovered upon investigation: in the deployed page, there are many double-quotes (") missing. I think that the content inside double-quotes is sometimes retained, sometimes not. For example, I found the following in the deployed page: <a class="site home" href=/>

Now I see that the links are simply not there; a href= is present, but the double-quotes and the page-address are missing. What I don’t know is how to deploy all of the double-quotes and all of the content between pairs of double-quotes.



Thank you for any clues. Please find below the deployment log.

I found a solution. I had failed to change draft: true to draft: false in the post files. Once I performed that change and re-deployed, I was able to reach and view each post.

As I mentioned, I am a Netlify neophyte.
