Variable not found in context

Hi There!

Your theme is lovely, thank you for taking the time to create it for Zola. If you would be so kind as to help with an issue, I'm having some trouble setting up the theme for the first time...

$ zola serve
Building site...
Checking all internal links with anchors.
> Successfully checked 0 internal link(s) with anchors.
-> Creating 0 pages (0 orphan) and 0 sections
Error: Failed to serve the site
Error: Failed to render section '/var/www/html/aboutme/content/_index.md'
Error: Reason: Failed to render 'index.html': error while rendering macro `intro::intro`
Error: Reason: Variable `config.extra.author` not found in context while rendering 'macros/intro.html'

This is in a fresh installation, but as it is my first use of Zola, it could be something I've overlooked late into the evening... I have manually added the configuration in both the global and theme's config.toml and I've tested putting it in multiple places but to no avail.

Thank you for any insight you may have, this is on a Linux system (Debian latest) running the latest Zola and Zplit.

Hello,

To resolve the issue, please ensure the config.extra.author field is correctly configured in the theme's config.toml file. You can add the following lines to the file, replacing 'Jenny Jones' with the desired author name:

[extra]
author = "Jenny Jones"

This should help resolve the rendering error you are experiencing.
Apologies for the delay in addressing this issue: it was a time full of stuff to do and I missed this.
