Hugo-coder: avatar not loading issue

[asthraa]

I am trying to add a image avatar.png in config.toml.

I have set

avatarurl = "avatar.png" and avatar.png is in root directory. When I load the page, I see alt text avatar but not the image.

when I do inspect element. I see

<img src="http://localhost:1313/avatar.png" alt="avatar">

Am I missing something?

Hi, you just need to put the image in the "static" folder of your hugo repository.

You could also put it in the static/images folder for better consistency. But set the avatarurl property to '/images/avatar.png' instead.

Same issue and came here. Problem solved. I'd appreciate it if the wiki could change and address this.
