💻 What I Did Today

I fixed a deployment bug on my website. Here’s what happened:

🐞 The Issue

1. Initially, the site deployed successfully and was live.
2. After some updates, Netlify still showed a successful deploy — but the website didn’t actually change.
3. Running zola serve locally showed the correct, updated version.

Turns out the problem was in the Netlify build settings:

• I hadn’t set Zola as an environment variable.
• The build command was mistakenly set to Hugo.

🛠️ The Fix

1. Go to Netlify Dashboard:

   • Site settings
   • Build & deploy
   • Environment variables
   • Click "Add a variable"

   Add the following: Key: ZOLA_VERSION Value: 0.18.0

2. Verify Build Settings: Still under Build & deploy settings:

• Build settings → Edit settings

Confirm these values: Build command: zola build Publish directory: public
