I created a blogwdown project using RStudio. I uploaded the academic-hugo theme in GitLab and today I tried to Deploy in Netlify, the problem is that I’m getting the following list of errors and I’m trying to proceed from here. I have been following other similar discussion topics but none of the solutions seem to be working so far. All the information is in the following thread: > > > I created a blogwdown project yesterday using RStudio.

It looks like you deleted or renamed your site so the deploy is not accessible on the link you provided. If you can provide a current working link, I can take a look. That said, you can take a look at this [doc](https://docs.netlify.com/configure-builds/common-configurations/#hugo) which mentions a fix for that error when using hugo. Hope that helps.
