Why Aren't My Jekyll Posts Showing Up? (Solved)

Question: Why isn’t my Jekyll post showing up?

Answer:

Your Jekyll post may not show up for a multitude of reasons, but I’ve compiled some of the most common reasons, and how to resolve them.

• Your post is not in the “_posts” directory. Move it to that directory.
• The post has published: false in it’s front matter. Set it to true.
• Your post’s date is formatted incorrectly. Posts should be named by year-month-day-title.markup. For example, 2020-06-10-jekyll-pages-not-showing.md.
• The post’s date is in the future, and your post has the future: true directive enabled. Either remove future: true, or change your article’s date to the past or present.
• Invalid characters in the title of the post. It’s most likely you have a colon in your title– change it to &#58.
• Your post doesn’t have the correct permalink: directive. Ensure it is set correctly.
