Following @ryanfox1985 steps, I get a different error:

ERROR deprecated: .Site.DisqusShortname was deprecated in Hugo v0.120.0 and will be removed in Hugo 0.133.0. Use .Site.Config.Services.Disqus.Shortname instead.

I worked around it by replacing the two occurrences I found with the suggestion:

[Magneticdud]

PR #406 fixes the latest error due to that disqus deprecation, which happened one version earlier than what the message says

hopefully it can be merged soon

meanwhile, for a quick fix, copy those files from the PR in /layout to override the ones in the theme
