Why is my blogdown website not updating despite working locally?

I'm trying to update a project website using hugo via blogdown through R and RStudio.

I'm making edits to the Tweet embedded on the front page as well as the people on the committee page.

All of the updates work fine when I run the page locally with blogdown::serve_site(). However, the edits aren't being realised online.

The changes seem to be recorded on GitHub so I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. Here's the associated GitHub page.

Solution

  • It turned out the issue was related to the build image on Netlify.

    Netlify gives some background about it here https://answers.netlify.com/t/please-read-end-of-support-for-xenial-build-image-everything-you-need-to-know/68239

    As they say on the site, "You can upgrade to the latest build image in the Netlify UI under Site settings > Build & deploy > Continuous Deployment > Build image selection."
