Netifly site won't load on subfolder in url

[linusj]

Hi,

So I’m trying to get my ReactJS web app to work using your netifly. Everything is working correctly except that when I’m trying to access a subfolder in the url it doesn’t load the content. I have seen other people have been struggling with the same issue for their implementations (Can't access my netlify site / netlify site won't load), however, for their whole site not just a subfolder.

To reproduce the issue:

• first visit https://www.whiteswan.io, which is working. Content is rendering and everything works fine.
• go to https://www.whiteswan.io/post/building-a-portfolio-of-life-insurance-policies - this page doesn’t work. The issue happens for every page that is located under /post/.

My netifly site name: clever-kalam-2f30c2.netifly.app

Since I don’t get any error messages and that it’s just pages under /post/ that doesn’t work it’s really hard to debug. I have implemented the _redirects file with “/* /index.html 200”. I tried to add another line within the _redirects file like this “/ * /* /index.html 200”, unfortunately with no success. Can it be some configuration within the _redirects file that is neccecary?

Thanks!

hi there, did you read through this already?

[Common Issue] Direct links to my single page app (SPA) don't work

If you’re budiling a Single Page Application (SPA), or an app that manages its own routes (url paths), you’ll want to add a _redirects file to your publish directory with the following line to take advantage of browser history pushstate: /* /index.html 200 You can read more information in our docs, which can be found here.

Hi,

Yes, I’ve added the _redirects file and the site works except for the pages that are in a subfolder.

To clarify:
https://www.whiteswan.io works fine
https://www.whiteswan.io/post/the-ultimate-guide-to-investing-in-a-market-crisis doesn’t work

Is there anything more than “/* /index.html 200” that I have to add in the redirect file to make the pages in the post subfolder work?

hey there, the page does load for me under that URL:

but i am noticing it is mostly blank and there are some JS errors you need to remediate in order to get it to work properly.

Hi Perry,

Before publish it to netlify I tried it locally and I thought it worked as it should so I was 100% sure that it was the Netlify config that was incorrect. However, as you pointed out I had some issues with the page itself.

Thanks for you assistance.
