Correcting fig.path errors

[thedivtagguy]

It would be helpful to include some guides on how to tackle fig.path errors.

I'm currently facing an issue where my .Rmarkdown pages are being rendered fine, except I do not see any output being displayed at all. No plots, no tables, nothing. I think somehow, my fig.path has been messed up.

The output for the line knitr::opts_chunk$get('fig.path') is ## [1] "index_files/figure-html/"
How do I fix the problem and reset the fig.path to default? Currently, I see no output being displayed at all, only code chunks.

I think I know what's wrong, but I'd rather have you install the development version (restart R after installation):

remotes::install_github('rstudio/blogdown')

and run blogdown::check_site(). It should tell you all potential problems of your site.

BTW, it's not relevant to fig.path.

You were right! This is what I got:

| Checking setting for Hugo's Markdown renderer...
| You are using the Markdown renderer 'goldmark'.
● [TODO] Allow goldmark to render raw HTML by adding this setting toconfig.yaml(see https://github.com/rstudio/blogdown/issues/447 for more info):

markup:
  goldmark:
    renderer:
      unsafe: true
Do you want blogdown to set this for you? (y/n) y

Thank you so much, I've been struggling with this for days now. I also read this page here that check_site() gave me and it makes so much more sense now. I should have installed the development version first!

Great to know! You are certainly not the only one who has struggled with this unsafe option for long. If only the Hugo developer could be bribed, I'd be happy to mail him a check to change this forever confusing default :)
