How did you create the site?

Built from jekyll-theme-chirpy

Description

I want to create an alternative version of the home page, which uses the home layout. The home page lists the available posts. I copied the home layout exactly into home-alt.html and created a new markup file. The posts are listed but the formatting is lost - the preview image is about 1rem by 1rem and a lot of the styling is missing. If I point the md file to home.html it works fine, but when I change it to home-posts, even though it is exactly the same - it does not work.

Anyone know what I need to change?

alt-posts.md:

layout: home-posts
permalink: /posts-alt/

Index page

---

Again, the layout of home-posts.html is a direct copy of the home.html layout.

Operations you have already tried

I tried creating seprate layouts and looked through all f the layouts - but could not find anything. Lost of troubleshooting.

Anything else?

@imagelessthought This happened because you didn't create/apply necessary styles to the custom layout
