Links to .html files are now requiring the extension? #22999
-
Just recently our team noticed some links to static .html pages were 404ing on some of our GitHub Pages sites. They were using clean urls without the .html extension. For example /about for the /about.html page. The clean url has been working for the longest time but it seems to have just recently stopped. Was there a change or is this a temporary issue? |

Duplicate of https://github.community/t5/GitHub-Pages/GitHub-Pages-redirecting-all-my-md-pages-to-folders-now/m-p/23904#M1686 It appears it’s affecting many GitHub users: https://twitter.com/theNickHatter/status/1129088073055318018?fbclid=IwAR3kRD_cFqqujqU24wNgwlciUxCXOV2GjgN4hLsRKTdTlAqh3MBUjhCmgqw TEMP WORKAROUND: - Call /pagename.html directly - Or try putting in your page header: ---- permalink: pagename/ ---- Knew it was only a matter of time before Microsoft screwed up 😉 |
