Content not published

A page with redirect_to has content after its front matter. A page that redirects publishes only the redirect, so the content doesn’t appear anywhere.

What you’ll see

warning  Content not published: `content/post-1.md` redirects
  Move it to the page it redirects to, or take out `redirect_to` to publish it.

In the terminal, the message also shows the file and line, if there is one, and marks the exact text.

Why Statac warns

Statac is sure the redirect is intended, because redirect_to says so. It publishes the redirect and tells you, because content that is never published may be content you want to keep.

How to fix it

Move the content to the page it redirects to, and leave only front matter on the page that redirects. If the page should be published here after all, remove redirect_to.

Example

In content/post-1.md:

---
redirect_to: /posts/post-1/
---
The first post.

With the content moved to content/posts/post-1.md:

---
redirect_to: /posts/post-1/
---

Its name

Name	content-not-published
In the terminal	statac explain content-not-published
To stop showing it	quiet: [content-not-published] in statac.yaml, once you have understood it. Statac still counts it.
