Description

Hello,

I got an error some days ago "_Liquid Exception: Could not locate the included file 'post-description.html' in any of ["/home/runner/work/huibschoots.github.io/huibschoots.github.io/includes", "

Not sure where it came from, since I only added a tab and some pdf files where the tab links to. Not aware of any other changes I made that could cause this error to appear.

Thanks,
Huib

Operations you have already tried

A coder friend helped me fix it by adding the _include folder and adding an empty file named "post-description.html" in it.
The site was building again, but the post summaries were missing. If I remove the empty post-description.html, the error returns.

How can I fix this? I want the post summaries back.

Anything else?

Have you set the baseurl in the repository’s _config.yml file? If so, please list the _config.yml settings.

I have never set a baseurl. Could that be the problem?

The base URL of your site

baseurl: ""

No problem — it looks like your repository still contains a large number of files from the theme repository. When a new version is released, those outdated files will cause all sorts of build errors if they aren’t updated.

I recommend you carefully read the guide and create a new site starting from the starter.
