`jekyll-paginate` gem

When I run jekyll serve, I got the following problem,

Deprecation: You appear to have pagination turned on, but you haven't included the jekyll-paginate gem. Ensure you have gems: [jekyll-paginate] in your configuration file.

Would you give me some suggestion? Thank you!

Did you get this issue resolved? I'm going through the exact same problem. I was about to do some google foo for the answer. But I decided to look here first.

I solved it! We need to paste the following to config.yml and update config.yml.

PAGINATION

  • gems: [jekyll-paginate]
  • paginate: 5
  • paginate_path: "page:num"

I just had this problem too. In my _config.yml I just pasted this:

# Gems
gems: [jekyll-paginate]

Found this on the web

In Jekyll 3, pagination is deprecated. This post describes how to resolve the error: “Deprecation: You appear to have pagination turned on, but you haven’t included the jekyll-paginate gem. Ensure you have gems: [jekyll-paginate] in your configuration file.”

First, make sure you have the gem installed by typing in your terminal: gem install jekyll-paginate (or sudo gem install jekyll-paginate)

Next, open _config.yml, add add the following line:

gems :

  • jekyll-paginate

Now, when you run jekyll serve or jekyll build the should no longer be there.

Just to update now we have to explicitly also include its dependency "jekyll-gist" . So it should now look like

gems: [jekyll-paginate, jekyll-gist]

Treehouse should start putting the links to these Q&A's in the teacher's note.
