I have a website made with Franklin that looks good locally. Unfortunately, the one that is deployed through gh-pages on GitHub is missing most of the formatting, plus the links to the other parts of the website do not work. This is what it looks like when i use serve() locally:
I’m sure that the problem is some basic issue with the file structure but I can’t figure out what (I’m very new to web hosting on GitHub), especially since the file structure was generated automatically by Franklin.
For reference,
my config.md 's file has prepath = "equistatlab".
My GitHub Pages site is currently being built from the gh-pages /(root) branch.
Thank you. I see. Those resources are there, but not where the computer is looking for it. For example, logo.png is at https://eduardo-zambrano.github.io/equistatlab/assets/logo.png but the computer is looking for it at https://eduardo-zambrano.github.io/assets/logo.png. Same with jtd.css. The machine is looking for it at https://eduardo-zambrano.github.io/css/jtd.css but jtd.css is at https://eduardo-zambrano.github.io/equistatlab/css/jtd.css.
Thank you. I manually went through the html pages inside gh-pages and changed things like <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/jtd.css"> to <link rel="stylesheet" href="./css/jtd.css"> in many places. Now the website renders correctly. The remaining question is: what do I need to do so that these manual changes are no longer needed the next time I update the site locally?
Thank you. Your answer makes sense to me. Having said that, I don’t know how to fix the problem. The url for the site is https://eduardo-zambrano.github.io/equistatlab/, so in my config.md I wrote prepath = "equistatlab", which I think is what I’m supposed to do. Unfortunately, that does not solve the problem, which means I must be writing the information incorrectly in my config.md file. Here is the content of my config.md: https://github.com/eduardo-zambrano/equistatlab/blob/main/config.md.
bring back the +++ in your config file and you’ll be ok

Thank you so much for looking into this @tlienart. I copied the text above inside my config.md file to make sure I did not mess anything up, and it still does not work. My response to @oheil above still applies.
