By biggest gripe with Hugo is it doesn't bubble up where problems are.

I posted this last year: https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/12693#issuecomment-2...

It makes troubleshooting really tedious.

As for updating versions safely, I highly encourage anyone to write a little tooling to build your site with version A and version B into different directories and then diff them to make sure nothing unexpected changed.

That is something I documented in a very long post where I went over converting my 500+ post Jekyll site to Hugo at https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/converting-my-500-page-blog-f.... If you search the page for "Updating Hugo Versions" you'll find the section.

Did you also do wordpress to jekyll and/or hugo?

If so, huge thanks!

Not OP. I did, though I don't think I wrote how. I had to convert everything to Markdown, fix a whole slew of Wordpress-isms in the Markdown it produced and convert Wordpress image references to inline functions. I ended up writing my own partial for handling images, though I don't remember why I did this anymore.

It was a massive pain the rear, and I'm so glad it's behind me. Never again, unless I'm getting paid for it!

Nope, I started with Jekyll sorry.

I have worked with WordPress in the past but not for my site.
