posts are listed/paginated in the wrong place

[mfioretti]

I must move to a new server a static website currently generated with a ~3/4 years old version of hugo and of this theme. With those versions, the home page lists the first six POSTS, not pages (that is, not the markdown files inside the "content" folder, ONLY those in the content/post" subfolder, which is what I want), and then paginates all the other posts, 6 per page.

On the new server, using the current versium of mediumish with hugo v0.92.2+extended linux/amd64, the posts are not shown in the home page anymore. They are listed, 6 per page, in a subfolder "/post".

You can reproduce this behavior with the "dummy sample site" in this tar archive (~3 MB)

Why this behavior change, and what should change, in the theme or elsewhere, to make the home page show and paginate the posts as before?
Thx!
