I'm very confused as it used to work just fine.
I have a blogdown website hosted on GitHub Pages, that includes reveal.js slides.
I presented those slides in the summary of 2019 from that website.
The pages where slides should be are now generating a 404 error when browsing the website on GitHub Pages (e.g., https://kevinrue.github.io/slides/bioc2019-flashtalk/#/), while the site served locally by blogdown::serve_site() shows those slides without problem at the corresponding local URL.
For instance the 404 error above should display the slides in this file https://github.com/kevinrue/kevinrue.github.io/blob/master/slides/bioc2019-flashtalk/index.html
I'm really stuck after trying a number of things. I'm happy to take suggestions and report here on their success.
Any suggestion is welcome!
Kind regards Kevin
PS1:
Somehow, netlify shows those pages just fine: https://quirky-jepsen-c23a11.netlify.app/slides/bioc2019-flashtalk/#/
I've also contacted GitHub Support in case it could be anything on their side.
Problem solved by the GitHub support team. The issue was due to a new repository called "slides" on my account, which also deployed files to GitHub and interfered/overrode the "slides" subfolder of my github.io website.
Basically: make sure you avoid name conflicts between subdirectories of your main github website and repository names.
