What do you mean, it’s still failing? What do you see when you preview the site? **Edit:** I’ve looked at your site and it appears some (or one of) of your markdown files has an issue in it and is causing the CMS to fail. I’m unsure what file, but I went through deleted batches of files until the site rendered correctly… Perhaps you’ve added some new files, and one of them is the culprit? Hope this helps. ---

Well - thank you so much 😊 After 2 days of trouble shooting with Claude - restructuring all the frontmatter for all 365 files - started your idea of deleting Narrowed down to 130-140 was the problem Narrowed down to 135-140 was the problem Song 138 had a . Instead of a , in tags Hard to believe one period in one file could take down the entire CMS Wow 😮 Thank you so much for your help @dan I would never have guessed the problem or how to troubleshoot - and Claude didn’t know either… ---
