What is the syntax for _config.yml scope path?

[szgaljic]

Description

_config.yml scope path syntax doesn't seem to work no matter what I try. I am trying to configure two different side bars two different sections of my site from _config.yml but I can't get the pathing to work.

Please see my stackoverflow here. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51938521/jekyll-front-matter-path-doesnt-work

The only way I can get this to work is by hand adding the sidebar to each page in front matter.

sidebar:
  nav: intro

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Environment

• Minimal Mistakes version:
• Ruby gem or remote theme version:
• Jekyll version:
• Git repository URL:
• Operating system:
• GitHub Pages hosted (if yes provide URL to site):

It's not working because your paths are wrong. I don't know if Jekyll's docs have examples, but I'm pretty sure the path's are relative to root folder.

To make this work, try these paths instead.. you need to add _pages/ before the folder names you're currently using.

defaults:
  - scope:
      path: _pages/intro
      type: pages
    values:
      layout: single
      classes: wide
      sidebar:
        nav: "intro" 
  - scope:
      path: _pages/core
      type: pages
    values:
      layout: single
      classes: wide
      sidebar:
        nav: "core"

Oh man! That Worked! Life saver.... I looked everywhere and nothing indicated that it should be prefixed with _pages.

Thank you for the quick turn around. Feel free to answer on stackoverflow if you want some SO points (i'll close it if no one does).
