The Simple theme, available for download from our download section, includes the dynamic folder. I'm not sure why you didn't notice this issue. However, please download the Simple theme again, unzip it, and copy the missing folder to the correct location in your project.

PS: Maybe your antivirus program is deleting the folder, treating new Google fonts as potentially dangerous. I'm not certain, but it might be worth checking.

Manually copying simple/assets/dynamic from the Publii package into themes/simple/assets — and, more importantly, into <site>/input/themes/simple/assets — fixed the problem.

So the problem may be rooted in the fact that simple/assets/dynamic wasn't copied from the Publii package in the first place?

Sorry, just saw your answer.

The Simple theme is included with Publii; I don't think I've ever downloaded it, I've just always selected it from the themes drop-down?

I just confirmed that /Users/<user>/Documents/Publii/themes/simple matches /Applications/Publii.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/default-files/default-themes/simple — at least, it does now that I copied the missing folder over. So I think Publii is indeed updating the theme when I update the app, without me having to re-download the theme?

Yes, I confirm.

I've tested it now and haven't noticed a similar problem. This may be a random occurrence.

OK, I'll close this. If anyone else reports a similar problem at least we'll know where to start looking!
