404 error on a href link? #21645

I don’t know what’s happening, but when I run my site locally everything looks ok, however when I push to github pages I keep getting a 404. I am using relative paths and am confused because I’m doing the same thing for multiple pages. I.e. I have a /booknotes folder that works fine. It’s like the relative link doesn’t work just for that folder. But It’s all fine locally. Here is where my code is hosted: GitHub - vishnukmurthy/vishnukmurthy.github.io |

it’s working now, have you checked it? I just checked it now, when you update or build something, it will take time, maybe 5-10 minutes |

hmm, no it’s still broken. Maybe I should be more clear about my issue. The code is structured similarly. I.e. blog is a folder and book notes is a folder, and the posts are within that folder. References to both are done as absolute paths. |

Ah. I think I know what the problem is. Github Pages - where my website is being hosted runs Jekyll on the backend behind the scenes. It looks like /blog/ has special meaning in Jekyll and things get funky if I name a folder that. |

Hi @vishnukmurthy! It looks like you couldn’t mark this as solved because it wasn’t inside a category. I’ve moved this thread to the GitHub Pages category now and marked @jdevstatic’s response as the solution for you ✨ |

booknotesfolder is working, meaning, yourblog.htmlat themainfolder is causing the issue, clashing withblogfolder. You can simply put ansso that it will be a different word.
