Plugin isn't "building" feed, just copying template #364

Closed prplecake closed 2 years ago

I copied the feed.xml from the lib/jekyll-feed/ directory to the root of my site in an attempt to modify the output of the feed.

However, Jekyll's just copying the literal template without doing anything with the Liquid tags.

Hi! Make sure there's an empty YAML front matter at the top of the file like:

---
---

This tells Jekyll that it's a page that can be converted and not just a static file that should be copied.

I think that's helping... now I'm getting a Liquid error but that's probably unrelated. At least it looks like Jekyll is processing feed.xml now.

Liquid Exception: Liquid error (line 53): Cannot sort a null object. in feed.xml

Thanks!
