I believe that theme uses the `{{ seo }}` tag, which requires a plugin to be installed.

If you’re not using the [GitHub Pages gem to build your site locally](https://help.github.com/articles/setting-up-your-github-pages-site-locally-with-jekyll/) then you’ll probably have to make sure it’s installed. Check their docs for those instructions.
