Before the "YAML Front Matter" video, we were working on the default Jekyll theme which Jekyll generated for us.
In this new section, Guil told us to replace the old webconfs folder with the new one in the download zip file. However, I'm not sure which webconf folder to use in order to follow along with the video since there are 9 folders labeled v1...v9 each with their own webconf folder.

Treehouse TeacherHey Clifford Fajardo,
Yep, it's the folder in the latest project files for stage 2. Sorry for the confusion. :)

Courses Plus Student 1,214 PointsHi Guil Hernandez and Clifford Fajardo,
I am trying to do the same...but no dice. It says I have errors when I replace the old file with the new. What can I do?? I really like Jekyll so far but this has been a bit of a stomach ache. (I have gone over the videos several times...tried several things...but no luck.)
Thanks
PS this is what I get when I replace the file: jekyll 2.5.3 | Error: No such file or directory - getcwd

Treehouse TeacherHey ignacio merino,
Since you replaced the folder, you need to make sure you cd out of the old folder in the command line, then cd back into the new one.
Navigate out of the old folder:
$ cd ..
Then navigate into the new one:
$ cd webconfs/
...and run jekyll serve.
Hope this helps!

9,521 PointsI tried "cd v2/webconfs" then jekyll serve, but the blog looks the same. I'm really not sure what the direction for getting into the V2 folder is.

Treehouse TeacherHi @rachaelallison,
Sorry for the confusion. For this stage, download the latest project files and start with the "video-1" folder -- I just renamed each folder.
Each video's folder includes the start files and the final files. For this video, you can place video-1's webconfs folder on your desktop and start using it from there.
Hope this helps. :)

9,521 PointsHey Guil,
thanks so much for this response!
I think I got confused because I was using your steps to create my own site. But, when I downloaded your files, it got tripped up because I then needed to use those files to create the exampe site for the course. So I'm going back through it all now, just making your webconfs site, then I'll make my own later.
thanks for the response!

13,127 PointsAfter dabbling around for a bit - I discovered that I needed to replace the original 'webconf' folder with the 'webconf' folder located inside of the 'v2' folder.
Happy Treehousing!
