FAQ

Is Octopress's Disqus plugin compatible with the new Disqus 2012 format?

6 August 2012: The existing Octopress Disqus plugin works with Disqus 2012 and no problems have been reported.

How do I keep Octopress, Ruby, and gem versions synchronized?

6 August 2012: The most complete solution is to use rbenv with the bundler plugin. You should follow the installation and configuration instructions for rbenv and then follow the Octopress configuration instructions. If you do not have the correct version of Ruby, be sure to follow these instructions.

A unsupported alternative is to modify the .../octopress/Gemfile.lock file. For example, if the version of Octopress that you are using specifies the 3.1.18 version of the sass gem but you have the 3.1.20 version of the gem installed, you can change the required version in the Gemfile.lock. NOTE: While this solution is expected to work, we cannot provide support for modified versions of Octopress.

Why isn't Octopress a gem?

6 August 2012: Octopress didn't start out as a gem. Converting it to a gem requires additional effort. Converting Octopress to a gem is in our plans but has not yet been targeted for a specific release. We are doing our best to weigh the effort and benefits of converting Octopress to a gem vs. adding new features and fixing bugs in the existing Octopress installation.
