Invalid link to home page in 404 page

[Bktero]

Hello

The 404 page layout has this link to the home page:

<a href="{{ "/" | absURL }}">{{ $.Site.Params.missingBackButtonLabel | default "Back to home page" }}&nbsp;→</a>

However, the home page of the blog may not be /.

I wonder if $.Site.BaseURL wouldn't be more appropriate. It's the value used for the title bar.

Yes, this should be $.Site.BaseURL 👀

Hmm... but on the other hand... absURL should do the same 🤔

EDIT: the official documentation says that we never should use $.Site.BaseURL though: https://gohugo.io/methods/site/baseurl/

I also can confirm that this doesn't work well, but no idea how to fix it at the moment...

I have tried "" | absURL and it seems to work. absUrl "" does the same as may be more readable.

You may want to try it on your side, you have for sure more experience than me with Hugo (I'm a beginner) ;)

After for weird behaviors with links when the site it served locally, I believe relURL "" in the best solution.

From https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/use-case-for-relurl-and-absurl/16633

using relURL in the templates is pretty useful so that a Hugo project can be served anywhere despite of what is entered in the baseURL configuration.
