Unable to Build Hugo File From Github

Support
1

I created a new site by linking my github repository

But my site is not loading ( white page).

I have already added the index.html

Please help.

The site was created through wordpress to hugo plugin recommended by hugo at their official site.

Also, I already have this site ( functioning on netlify, with custom domain) built through drag-drop feature.

However, I would like to try hugo ( as it is fast).

Deploy log is as follows

It’s because, your index.html has no content:

Change your Publish directory to hugo-export:

It still won’t work because even that index.html is blank. You need some content there.

I copied index.html from previou build ( drag and drop), and home page is now working.
However, internal pages, posts, and all other links are still 404.
Does that mean I will have to create index.html for all pages?

Or, if there is a work around ?

You’ll have to recreate the entire website properly for it to work fine.

Yeah. It looks like will have to dive deep.
