I did some across this post so I checked everything.

The post is in the _posts directory named 2016-06-02-Python-R-combine.markdown, see Github

The post has correct title. Posts should be named YEAR-MONTH-DAY-title.MARKUP

The post's date is in the past:

---
layout: post
title:  "Python + R = Simpler life"
date:   2016-06-01 15:00:00 +0200
categories: jekyll update

## R 

In this post I want to show how I use Python to make my life a little bit easier
sometimes. For my MSc thesis I am working in R and dealing with a large amount
of technical indicators which I calculate in R as follows

The post does not have published: false in its front matter. Nor does the title contain a :. Does anyone have an idea why my post is showing up on localhost but not on my Github pages?

edit: SOLVED In creating analytics.html I copied page-header.html as a base but forgot to rename it to analytics.html after I was done editing.

If you go to your settings page, in the Github Pages, you will see :

Your site is having problems building: A file was included in _includes/head.html, that is a symlink or does not exist in your _includes directory. For more information, see https://help.github.com/articles/page-build-failed-file-is-a-symlink.

Copy paste your local analytics.html in your _include folder, push, and everything will be ok.

  • Thank you very much! Instantly solved my problem. When I was creating the analytics file I copied a file to use as a base but then forgot to rename it to `analytics.html`. – Rainymood Jun 03 '16 at 07:34
