I already have a site created with blogdown and want to make it live. To try it out, I built the site using blogdown::build_site() . After managing to upload all the content from the public folder on Github. I see that the formatting of my site does not match what I have on the localhost when I run blogdown::serve_site(). The site I created is slightly complex since there are many subfolders created under each topic. I used the Hugo Book theme from this github page . The format of the site is the same as shown on the theme's github page.
I also checked the index.html file from the public folder and it looks like the image above. I am not sure how can I make my site to look like the second picture. I would appreciate any help and thank you in advance.
BTW, this has been cross-posted to Issue with site formatting with blogdown::build_site(). · Issue #743 · rstudio/blogdown · GitHub .

question
I created a site with blogdown and tried to upload it to Github Pages. I first u… sed blogdown::build_site() to build my site and uploaded the the content from the newly created public folder and added them into Github. The issue is my site on Github does not match the same formatting as the original site I have in my localhost when I run blogdown::serve_site(). I used the Hugo book theme from this github [page](https://github.com/alex-shpak/hugo-book).
I already posted this issue in the R Studio Community forum, [here](https://community.rstudio.com/t/blogdown-site-formatting-issue-with-blogdown-build-site/154650) and Stack Overflow [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74732959/blogdown-site-formatting-issue-with-blogdownbuild-site) and did not get a response yet. Both were sent one to two days ago.
