Error: The index content has been overwritten

Error message: The index content has been overwritten by a plugin.

Reason:

Some plugins (e.g., Coming Soon, Maintenance Mode, or other plugins that redirect access to the index) have modified your site’s index file. Shifter cannot handle these types of plugins.

Details:

Shifter generates outputs based on your site’s index file. If the index file has been modified by a plugin, Shifter cannot generate the correct output, resulting in an error.

Solution:

Follow the steps below to resolve the issue.

Identify the problematic plugin: Check for “Coming Soon” plugins, “Maintenance Mode” plugins, or other plugins that might redirect access to the index page.
Disable the plugins: Disable all identified plugins.

Example:

Coming Soon plugins
Maintenance Mode plugins
Plugins that redirect access to the index

Note:

This error causes Shifter to fail to generate the artifact. Disabling the plugin allows Shifter to work normally.
