ggplot() graphical output link broken ./static/post/

Question

I've followed the advice at https://bookdown.org/yihui/blogdown/static-files.html by adding a .r file with blogdown::build_dir('static') - and by creating a ./static/post directory - what am I missing?

I also searched through rbind.io blogdown structures, but cannot figure out how to connect rendered graphic outputs to static/post/post-date; not how to automatically redirect outputs to that folder instead of public.

Thanks for the help.

Generally you do not need to handle ggplot output manually in blogdown, because blogdown will render the output graphic, put int in static/post/some-where and correctly link it to your post. Could you provide your repo? — TC Zhang

In my local, the plot chunk images are generated in the public folder, but not pushed to the static. I think ive just made a mistake somewhere in changing folders github.com/pembletonc/blogdown.git — Corey Pembleton

I think I found the problem

The .gitignore file in your static directory prevents git to stage images generated by blogdown, delete it.
