Hello. My site https://664cbe1d74c57800894ab682--stunning-longma-a00c3f.netlify.app/ always shows Page Not Found after I make an update to the github repo and push.

Below are the logs for the latest deploy I did -

I have reviewed this popular post but I am not able to figure out what changes to make for my site based on it. I see it mentions something about the location of the index.html. In my github repo, the index.html is located inside the _site folder.

What would be the right Build settings on Netlify? Please let me know any additional details to provide to help debug. Thanks!

As stated in the line above from the log you have shared, you are deploying the repository directory.

You have indicated the built site you wish to deploy is in the _site directory. You can the see the site via https://stunning-longma-a00c3f.netlify.app/_site/

Deploying the _site directory will fix your issue.

@dig’s Response is the correct answer.

The response by @Markjons is the usual ChatGPT word salad drivel.
It talks about hosting on GitHub Pages and makes wild assumptions about using Jekyll, it’s a flagrant waste of everyone’s time.

Thanks all. Was able to do what may be a temporary fix by just deleting the site and then re-adding it again. The real test will come when I have to make an update.
