Jekyll 3 no longer adds a trailing slash automatically to `permalink:` URLs. This can potentially result in old links to pages returning a 404 error. For example, suppose a page previously contained the YAML `permalink: /:year-:month-:day-:title` that resulted in the URL `example.com/2016-02-01-test/` (notice the trailing slash), Jekyll internaly generates a folder named `2016-02-01-test`. In Jekyll 3, the same `permalink:` generate the file `2016-02-01-test.html` and the URL for the same page will be `example.com/2016-02-01-test`, and consequently any links to the old URL will result in a 404 error. In order to maintain the same URLs and avoid this problem, a trailing slash should be added to the `permalink:` field, for example `permalink: /:year-:month-:day-:title/`. +### All my posts are gone! Where'd they go! + +Try adding `future: true` to your `_config.yml` file. Are they showing up now? If they are, then you were ensnared by an issue with the way Ruby parses times. Each of your posts is being read in a different timezone than you might expect and, when compared to the computer's current time, is "in the future." The fix for this is to add [a timezone offset](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_time_offsets) to each post (and make sure you remove `future: true` from your `_config.yml` file). If you're writing from California, for example, you would change this: + +```yaml +--- +date: 2016-02-06 19:32:10 +--- +``` + +to this (note the offset): + +```yaml +--- +date: 2016-02-06 19:32:10 -0800 +--- +``` _Did we miss something?
