Absolute_url rendering links as http://localhost?

I build the site locally with bundle exec jekyll s, and then upload the everything to my server afterwards. I’m using jekyll 4.0.0. I’m also using a fork of the following template for my site:

Figured it out, finally. You have to use the production environment variable when building the site. Here’s what I used.

JEKYLL_ENV="production" bundle exec jekyll build

did you try build without the production flag? serve is meant for local dev so it does a few things differently than build.
