I'm not a ruby expert here, and I'm new to jekyll just trying to get the livereload plugin to work on a blank theme.
plugin: https://github.com/RobertDeRose/jekyll-livereload
I setup jeckyll with a blank theme with jekyll new theme --blank When I run jekyll serve, I can see LiveReload Server: http://127.0.0.1:35729 output in terminal so I guess it should be working, but the browser reloading doesn't work. However it does work if I use the default theme.
When using the default theme, there's an extra message: LiveReload: Browser connectedwhen I run jekyll serve. That message doesn't appear with blank theme.
Is there something I'm missing here?
I know this is old, but I was facing the same issue, so I thought I'd share the solution that worked for me.
You just need to add front matter to the top of your html file, that's two triple-dashed lines, so your html file should look like this:
---
---
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
