Jekyll Hickups
Today marks the one month mark of my move to Jekyll so I thought I would recount some issues I’ve run into.
Feedburner
On my Wordpress installation I installed a plugin that redirected RSS subscribers from the feed hosted on the site to Feedburner so I could get statistics about all of you who are subscribing. I checked my statistics and my subscribers went to zero:
The problem was that the link on my Wordpress install pointed to /feed/ and the plugin redirected the folder to the correct Feedburner URL. The fix was to add a redirect to the site’s configuration:
Increase in 404 errors
On the 15th, I received the following error in my email:
I check the errors and it was mostly /category/ and /tag/ pages that Wordpress creates automatically. Normally people don’t usually use these so I’m not too worried.
Broken Images in RSS
I only post some images but I noticed that the following happened when I looked at my RSS feed:
The fix to this is to prepend all image links with {{site.url}}.
{{site.url}}/assets/2016/brokenimages.png
The horrible downside to this is that {{site.url}} is www.thisprogrammingthing.com and not dependent on what’s being served (which makes sense). So I have to upload all my images to the live server when I’m checking my post because it looks like this otherwise:
