Nothing is displayed on the front page with javascript disabled

When I open https://numpy.org/, I only see the line of "Install Documentation Learn Community About Us Contribute" links. They are usable and I can open documentation page, but on the front page even the footer is not displayed.

Mozilla Firefox 82.0.3

Thanks for the report @link2xt. I'm not sure what is going on there, I had expected more to work without Javacript enabled. This needs investigation.

@joelachance tracked this down to the Hugo theme we're using:

This looks like an issue with the Hugo Fresh theme: StefMa/hugo-fresh#92
The fix they have posted in this issue doesn't seem like a good fix though-- it wouldn't display content, just fail more gracefully. I'm not sure what options we have outside of picking a new theme or forking it.

We had another chat about this. Any fix here would be a lot of work, like migrating to a new theme. And the importance of this is low - this is the first issue about it after millions of site visits.

That theme migration isn't going to happen any time soon, so this issue is wontfix for the foreseeable future. I'll leave it open so its easier for a next reporter to find.

Seems to be fixed already by #476.
