Local static website not rendered as expected. (Netlify deploy and local build&serve work well)

[shamiek]

Describe the bug
Deployment on netlify and using hugo server (building and serving the site locally) work as expected. However, locally generating the static website to a public directory does not work as expected. There is no styling, no responsive clicks. There is just a plain html webpage when I open public/index.html

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. hugo new site my-site -f=yaml
2. cd themes
3. git clone https://github.com/gurusabarish/hugo-profile.git
4. cd ..
5. Copy config.yaml from here and create my-site/config.yaml
6. hugo --destination public
7. Open my-site/public/index.html in a browser (I tried firefox and chrome)

Expected behavior
You should see a website exactly as how hugo server serves at localhost:1313.

Screenshots

Hey i also had this problem while deploying with GitHub actions.

Try this line in config.yaml, Just below where you set theme.

canonifyURLs: true

Hope this helps.

See this #69

Thanks a lot. Adding canonifyURLs: true worked.
