I actually just replaced my Netlify CMS with Contentful CMS (free tier). It is much easier at Contentful CMS to work with images. To do so, I viewed an excellent tutorial [this video] on setting up Gatsby with Contentful CMS.

You can create pages dynamically at build time and to do that you need to add some logic to the gatsby-node.js file. Here is a simple snippet. const path = require('path') exports.createPages = ({graphql, boundActionCreators}) => { const {createPage} = boundActionCreators return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { const storeTemplate = path.resolve('src/templates/store.js') resolve( graphql(` { allContentfulStore (limit:100) { edges { node { id name slug } } } } `).then((result) => { if (result.errors) { reject(result.errors) } result.data.allContentfulStore.edges.forEach((edge) => { createPage ({ path: edge.node.slug, component: storeTemplate, context: { slug: edge.node.slug } }) }) return }

I ran into the same difficulties, I'm assuming you were following this youtube tutorial by khaled [this video] and try to check it out by using the default contentful Blog template like so: [LINK] Make sure you are using the CORRECT contentModelName when writing the allContentful{contentModelName} post . When using the default blog example for contentful the title shows up as "Blog Post". Just change it from "Blog Post" to "Blog" and everything should be working fine if you followed Khaled's steps and added the "new Promise" fix (which I see you already did). [LINK] Good luck!
