Article footer items does not work despite saying it is supported

[dg-concordium]

In the documentation for this theme, it states that article footer items and content footer items are supported. However, when I try to use either of these in my theme options, I get the error "WARNING: unsupported theme option 'article_footer_items' given" or "WARNING: unsupported theme option 'content_footer_items' given".

that's very surprising because I'm using it here in the SEPAL documentation and it works as expected: https://github.com/openforis/sepal-doc/blob/c4d07ef7ff429c0a523f76d7d58f60fd2039824f/docs/source/conf.py#L111

Could you share more information on your bug ?

• Sphinx version
• maybe the link to your conf.py (alternatively the content)
• the link to a readthedocs build ?

[dg-concordium]

Sphinx version is 4.2.0. And the conf.py without the article footer items or content footer items is here. https://github.com/Concordium/concordium.github.io/blob/main/source/mainnet/conf.py

We don't build to readthedocs.

I think the issue is that I'm using quite an old version of the theme from when these elements did not exist.

Can you update the theme version you're using then? You should also probably use a newer sphinx version if you can, we officially only support using the 2 most recent releases I think
