Ok, I figured out what was happening. Seems that when I added the suggestions in the "make a site, not a blog" post, it changed the way hyperlinks are rendered for anything that is in the "posts" folder. It removed a layer, so that /posts/bio became just /bio. The problem was that when Nikola couldn't find the files in /bio, it just rendered old versions of the pages that were somehow in folders in output. Now I understand what you meant Robert when you suggested the cache. Because I hadn't made any changes to the pages themselves, I didn't realize that nikola was just rendering them from the output folder cache. The blog was the only page I changed and the problem was that it would sometimes render from the browser cache and sometimes not. As a result it didn't occur to me to check links. I finally deleted the output folder and had nikola rebuild it. When I did that, I broke all the pages that were in folders in the "posts" directory. That's when I decided to check links and it showed a ton of broken links. That's when I knew to go back and fix the hyperlnks path. when I took /posts out of the algorithm, everything just worked.
Thank you for responding and for your suggestions Chris and Roberto. I really appreciate it. I figured I'd post this in case someone else runs into the same problem :) On Tuesday, May 14, 2019 at 7:47:32 AM UTC-4, Ricky Mujica wrote: > > I did clear the cache.
