I'm in the early days of learning and using blogdown, and running into an issue where serve_site() returns a blank preview, and then upon refresh, and index of my site. If I push to GitHub the site will publish on the web without issues - which I've been using as a "live and definitely published" pr…

Is it possible you're somehow not using a theme? The way hugo works is that it basically creates an index (I think they're called lists as content type), or a single for any folder or page inside of the served folder, which makes me think you could be serving the wrong folder somehow… (or not have i…

that sounds like it could be the issue, although I'm not sure how to go about fixing it. the issue is localized to RStudio, as the site itself publishes the theme . this is the high level file structure (the not_used_sort_later folder contains all the files related to publications that I was trying …

Hmm, that setup looks right to me… [image] Have you pointed to your theme in your config? theme = "hugo-icarus-theme" # Comment the themesDir option if you use this theme in production # themesDir = "../.." which, inside of that theme folder: [image]

yep yep, the config.toml points to the academic theme : [34%20PM]

Hmm…can confirm it's not a your-computer thing. [image] It's an anchor/scrolly theme, right? Have you asked if anyone else using Academic has trouble serving locally?

honestly I feel :100: knowing that it's not something on my end - thank you for checking that out! I'll poke around and see if anyone else using Academic is having trouble serving locally and post here if/when I find something out.

[image] jessemaegan: honestly I feel :100: knowing that it’s not something on my end I mean, if it's a local build, there isn't exactly another end to be on… :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Bonus thought: Have you tried serving it locally from the command line with hugo serve?

[image] mara: I mean, if it’s a local build, there isn’t exactly another end to be on… :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: fair play - although I thought I had moved/deleted/somehow or otherwise caused the issue :laughing: serving locally from the command line is a great idea! I've tried it and l…

I run academic in RStudio with no problems... I had some issues in the beginning (not the same index problem as yours) and had to copy all RMD files and the static folder, burn everything to the ground and copy the files into a fresh build of the theme. It may be worth testing whether a fresh build…

Hi! I was able to reproduce your issue by cloning the repo ( https://github.com/kierisi/jessemaegan ) and running blogdown::serve_site(). I noticed that the themes/academic/ folder is empty, which explains the local issues. For local testing, can you copy the actual theme, or maybe install it using i…

Blogdown serve_site() returns index of site, rather than site preview
