Questions

• Why ?
• How to fix it ?

Which version of Hexo did you use? Do you have the required social section in your _config.yml? If you don't have any link, you will still need to put below code snippet in your _config.yml

social:
  github: 
  weibo: 
  linkedin:

• I‘m using Hexo 3.3.8.

• I have configured it like this:

  social:
    github: https://github.com/lonelee-kirsi
    weibo: https://github.com/lonelee-kirsi
    linkedin: https://github.com/lonelee-kirsi

  But it’s still the same errors.

[sabrinaluo]

3.3.8 should be compatible. My blog is also using 3.3.8 with this theme, you may take a reference of the config file https://github.com/sabrinaluo/tech/blob/master/_config.yml

Can you provide your _config.yml file?

[lonelee-kirsi]

Should I configure it in root _config.yml instead of theme _config.yml?

I add the following code to root _config.yml and it works:

social:
  github: test

I have also found the same error. And I think when genarate the file, hexo read the var in the root _config file, but there is no var 'github'. And the solution is add the var 'github' in root _config as @lonelee-kirsi said.

[sabrinaluo]

@lonelee-kirsi @wywncdx yes, it should be in the root _config.yml file

I will update the template later, to make it work with both theme config and root config.

But please notice that if you have this setting in both theme config and root config, the root config will have higher priority and will override the one in theme config 😅

Thank you for your answer.
