@pappayain not sure how you are using it. I just tested it with latest 0.49 version of hugo and it works fine.

To test it yourself follow this steps, create a test folder and do the following. Assuming hugo is installed and accessible.

1. $hugo new site charak-theme-test
2. $cd charaka-theme-test/themes
3. $git clone git@github.com:natarajmb/charaka-hugo-theme.git
4. $cd charaka-theme-test/themes/charaka-hugo-theme
5. $cp -r exampleSite/* ../../
6. $cd ../../
7. $hugo server -D

navigate to http://localhost:1313 you should see the sample site.

Yes, if I copy content folder of example site, then it works. But if I follow the quick start guide at https://gohugo.io/getting-started/quick-start/ and replace the theme with charaka-hugo-theme then it just fails.

Use this "post" instead of "posts" and see if the error goes away. If it does then I will update the template.

$hugo new post/my-first-post.md

[natarajmb]

Check out the latest code and it should work now with "posts"

Same issue with master and v0.49. I fixed it by just removing pagination, because I don't really need it. I really like the theme, thanks a bunch.

@pappayain, I'm able to re-create the issue with your steps and have put in a fix to solve this. If you are still looking to get it fixed then take the latest code. The issue was to do with pages being empty as its a new site and those pages were being fed into PageGroups which always errored.

[natarajmb]

No response from the initial reporter closing as its fixed.
