Issue with content publishing in Sanity + Eleventy + Netlify setup

7 replies
Last updated: Apr 12, 2021
Hello!! I am stuck with the content publishing for the "sanity + eleventy + netlify".
I followed the very basic guide from:
https://www.sanity.io/create (did not cloned or messed with any code yet).Connected my Github and Netlify
Accessed my "studio" on Netlify
Added a new "test post" and hit "Publish"
The new post never showed up
The "web" of my blog:
https://sanity-eleventy-blog-web-nusxzdbc.netlify.app/
What am I missing?

(PS.: I have already deployed again the "web" and "studio")

Hi!I think that you need to trigger a rebuild of the website.
You need this plugin:
https://github.com/sanity-io/sanity-plugin-dashboard-widget-netlify Is is already included in the starter?

Hi
user E
,
The "deploy to Netlify" is already included in the starter.

I deploy my "web" again
https://sanity-eleventy-blog-web-nusxzdbc.netlify.app/
Everything seems to be OK according to the Netlify log (including the changes I made)

If you look in /template/web/client-config.js, does the projectId fall back on the correct project ID? I wonder if it might not be picking up the env variable and is falling back on the project ID of the template.

Hi
user A
! I checked my 
/template/web/client-config.js
file and the 
projectId
and it set properly "Project ID" provided by Sanity. I also redeployed both projects (studio / web) but I with no success with my new post.

I set up this starter and managed to get it going by adding a category to my new post. I wish I could say that’s the answer, but since then I’ve been able to add other posts without categories and they show up too (after a deploy). 🤷‍♂️

OMG

!You found it! Actually I tested and it is not related to the "category" but to the "Published at" field. It is required to fill it so Sanity do not "auto generate" it!
Tks a lot!

Ahh, that makes more sense. Awesome! Glad it’s working for you. :)
