Solution

  • By looking at the image you attached in your comment, you probably uploaded jekyll files and not the static files which exists in the folder _site.

    So what you have to do is, install jekyll using npm or RubyGems in your own machine, setup everything in your jekyll files, then use the command jekyll serve to build and check if everything is generated successfully by going to localhost:4000, if everything went well, then go to your jekyll directory and take the files inside _site and upload them to your webhost using FTP
