hmm. very mysterious. feel free to send me your css file (or even the whole project folder)... if not, then let me know what the issue was when you do figure it out!
huh, yeah that is weird. are you just setting the background-image with css (no js when the page loads or anything fancy like that)? are you using your own style or modifying one of the templates?
can you set the background-image to something like background-image: linear-gradient(#fff, #000); ? if that doesn't produce a change, i suspect the rule is being invalidated by a css rule with higher specificity somewhere. if it does work, then maybe the image isn't being transferred over during the build - can you check if the bg image appears in the _site output folder?
Strawberry Starter wasn't really designed for this, sadly. When you upload a project with multiple html files on itch, it gets hosted on itch's content delivery server (html-classic.itch.zone). What that means is that if you have any absolute paths in your project (starts with a "/", e.g. "/post/folder/whatever.md") they'll be broken. You need to use relative paths (e.g. "../../post/folder/whatever.md").
Basically you'd have to edit the 11ty template itself and remove all the absolute paths, probably by writing a filter for all the links. Sorry!
I sadly don't have a mac, which makes debugging issues for it quite difficult - but have you edited the config file (or any other files) at all? My guess from that message is there are single quotes somewhere instead of double quotes, which is not permitted in .json or .jsonc files. If this instead happens on a fresh version of the starter then I've got no clue, but will try to investigate somehow.
thanks for reporting what looks like a nasty mistake in the backup script; i'll take a look at that sometime this week and get an update out soon. i didn't encounter this issue among my testers so i'm curious to see what's up - i might have pushed a bad version of the script or something
as for the backup folder, you want to put its *contents* into the main folder
You can run individual scripts with node by using "node path/to/script.js". When you run "npm run upload" you're actually running "node _functions/upload-neo.js".
You could move that script to another node project, but you'd have to tweak it since it's designed for strawberry starter (specifically, it checks for a config.jsonc file in "src/_data" to check for a subdirectory, and it reads a folder named "_site" to check what to upload.) You'd have to initialize a new project with "npm init" and then install the script's dependencies with "npm i form-data jsonc". That's overkill if your site isn't already a Node project, though.
However there's a Neocities Command Line Interface that lets you upload your site from the command line. It has a different syntax and some quirks but fundamentally does the same thing - only uploads what's changed. This is the best way to go about uploading things if your site isn't already a Node project, I think! I would use that tool to upload your base site and use npm run upload to upload the blog.
