Problems with Error Checking AND Pinegrow rendering a HUGO site, both locally and via URL

[schpengle]

Hello.

Im not sure if I’m doing something wrong but I get this a lot when I use PG.

PG V 8.5 Mac.
Open URL.
PG says there are a pile of errors.

Create folder to save locally.

Check code, find errors, click button to refresh, check for errors.
ALL errors dissapear. including when I havent reallly done a lot.

this is the Yellow, box on RIght, number 1.

then, follow the advice of dialogue box to go
Page>Check for html errors and

Now pops up box number 2 in red on the left and…

ShaBaNg!

They all seem to be back again.

So which message is correct?
All errors gone,
Or
Pile of errros still there?

Clarification of my Query/report

Is the error checking actually checking the file Ive amended and saved edits too (of the URL, which Im using to style and check …things…like…for errors )

OR… is it simply reloading the URL when I click refresh and.. checking the RELOADED URL, and NOT the code I’m acutally looking at in the editor.. the code Im viewing/checking/fixing?

Well, I’m unable to proceed with this much further atm.

the Page URL I’m looking at looks like this in my Browser (Brave, Chromium based)…

but when I open it in pinegrow it looks like this…

So Pinegrow is rendering the layout of that url incorrectly and loosing some styling (PINK "Blog*)

BUT.. RENDERS THE FONT CORRECTLY (Turnip)

Turnip

Now, Pinegrow is warning me of HTML errors, but , due to ISSUE 1 I posted above, wrt just what the heck is it error checking and what file is showing, and what is being saved… I dont know if thats an issue, but,

The cards are kind of stacked and have no bottom edges.

HOWEVER…

If I clone the URL of the site locally, using sitesucker

SiteSucker for macOS

and open the LOCAL copy of that web url, via a locally hosted server (Im using AMMPS)

AMPPS – WAMP, MAMP and LAMP Stack

and view it in Brave Browser,
It also renders fine as it should.

BUT its not rendering the Turnip font at all.

If I open that Same Locally saved clone of the url… in a PineGrow,
ITs once again BoRkEd.

BUT.. If i then open the LOCALLY cloned version, which renders perfectly in Brave browser (Chromium based) inside Pinegrow (8.5) . then use pinegrows OPEN IN BROWSER feature, to open up the local clone in Pinegrows own server…and view in Brave.. in the same browser but now on port 40000

its also BoRkEd!

So, in the same browser,
It also borked after opening via Pinegrows built in Server.

But renders fine if opened via a different localhost server

So, I dont know whats going on here exactly.

so same browser, but in pinegrow the view is broken, fonts are correct and when pinegrow renders it in the same browser which is rendering it perfectly well outside of Pinegrows influence its also broken, but again, fonts are correct.

and just to cheer you up,
This is what the site renders like when not run on a server and just viewed via the file system as

file:///Applications/AMPPS/www/cottonnoodle.com/index.html

lovely eh?
So Pinegrows not doing such a bad job but.. could do better or its the errors, but I cant use Pinegrow to fix them correctly due to the page check/error refresh loop.

So this is a site which The Author (not me) has created via the HUGO static site generator

The world's fastest framework for building websites

and the lady has posted info on how she has created the site, taxonomies etc , and Im using it to try and learn how to use Hugo and use Pinegrow for styling etc

BUT… here I am… on the Forum.
With an issue

so, suggestions?
What is going on with BOTH the rendering of the URL and Locally hosted site in Pinegrow, and HOW am I supposed to edit the URL files , saved locally in Pinegrow (apparently) as it didnt seem to be working correctly and was reverting to the original remote file, each time I clicked refresh after fixing errors… I THINK… as it would show NO ERRORS.

but, then when I clicked PAGE>Check for html errors. it was a collection of errors again, that looked the same/similar.

And just to be (as clear as Im led to believe) these are the output files AFTER hugo has done its thing. I think. There is obviously the need for a server to render the pages correctly, BUT I’m not sure what technologies that is yet.

Thanks.

UPDATE.
Now… it doesnt render the font correctly either.
ok im done with this for the day. well 2 days. in a heatwave
