How to get add Youtube Channel link to socials in minima template?

AgentArachnid66 · February 24, 2023, 5:12pm

Hello,

I’m very new to Jekyll (and web development in general) and am trying to use it to make a Portfolio website. I make YouTube Tutorials as well as text ones and want to link them using the built in social to the minima theme.

youtube_username: AgentArachnid
youtube_url: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3vRLT5pJCbctTmoESVNYPw

I’ve tried following these steps and adapt to just use the default youtube setup but I can’t figure out where I’m going wrong.

As you can in the picture when I hover over the Youtube link, it’ll redirect me to youtube.com/AgentArachnid. I want the name to be maintained but the url it will direct me to be correct.

Change your config file. You can see on line 46 of this file how it should be set:

github.com

jekyll/minima/blob/master/_config.yml

title: Your awesome title
author:
  name: GitHub User
  email: your-email@domain.com

# The `>` after `description:` means to ignore line-breaks until next key.
# If you want to omit the line-break after the end of text, use `>-` instead.
description: >
  Write an awesome description for your new site here. You can edit this line
  in _config.yml. It will appear in your document head meta (for Google search
  results) and in your feed.xml site description.

# Build settings

theme: minima

plugins:
  - jekyll-feed
  - jekyll-seo-tag
