About and Contact pages

[g3cko]

I'm having trouble getting the about and contact pages working. It looks like they are getting an empty page in the demo site too. I'm very new to Hugo and use this theme on Wordpress, but wanted to check out Hugo and try to convert my content over.

Is this a work in progress still? I've not yet wrapped my head around how Hugo in general works so I'm not quite sure where to look as the demo doesn't seem to work as I expect either.

One thing to check is that they are set to draft = false
I also initially broke some of the links by changing the baseurl = "https://example.org/" and they started working again when I set it back.
I've been playing around with Hugo as well and did run in to a few issues. This theme is based off the
Universal Theme so I found it did help to review the documentation for that. I decided to switch to Strata for now, although I may come back to this one once I get a bit more comfortable with Hugo, it's a great looking theme!

I'll double check that - I may have changed the baseurl when I was playing around with things. I'll also dig through the docs you linked as well, thanks !

Are you still having issues getting about and contact pages working ? Will be happy to help.

Sorry for the delay, I appreciate the response!

Here is what I tried,

• fresh 'hugo new site test'
• git clone themes into test/themes
• copy/paste the example content
• copy/past the static folder for the images
• copy/paste the config.toml
• then, 'hugo server --theme=hugo-tracks-theme --buildDrafts'

When I click the about and contact, they link to blank pages for me. If I add /index/ to the url they seem to work though?? That seems weird?

I downloaded this for the hugo version
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.20.2 windows/amd64 BuildDate: 2017-04-22T19:50:33-07:00

I was having the contact form not displaying issue yesterday. Worked out I had missed a line in the config.toml; once I had set all the params in correctly, it rendered.

I'm having issues with the other two pages too. Without changing the toml at all, this is what I get

As you can see, the other two pages are not there.

Hi hi ...

thank you for the great theme. Unfortunately, I am also struggling with the sidebar issue, see post of Athanasiamo before.

I replaced my config.toml file with the one of the example site, but it did not change.

I built my blog with hugo v0.30 using the blowdown package and R-Studio. I am a newbie using blogdown, so my apologies if I missed the obvious solution.

Thanks in advance!

Same issue here. The links to "About", "Contact" etc don't appear on the home page (as is the case on the demo?!). If you add /about to the url (e.g. https://themes.gohugo.io//theme/hugo-tracks-theme/about) the page is there. It's just the link from the home page that's not working.

I first encountered this issue when updating Hugo. I'm not sure at what version the problem started, but I just jumped from 0.19 to 0.39 (on Mac)

Another issue is that the pictures don't render when you select Categories (evident on demo page).

Otherwise, thanks for a great theme!!!

[derekmichaelwright]

has anyone found a solution to this problem yet?

@derekmichaelwright - I found it was easiest just to use the Nederburg theme - another port of the Tracks theme, but with fewer bugs and some nice additional features. That said - I've had no response to some issues I found there either... Always pick a theme that's currently being supported and developed! Unfortunately its not always easy to tell... I suppose we're relying on others giving us their time for free - so we should always be grateful :)
