Running jekyll build or jekyll serve, I get an error upon generation:

Liquid Exception: no implicit conversion of Array into String in /_layouts/post.html
jekyll 3.8.3 | Error:  no implicit conversion of Array into String

Steps to reproduce the behavior

jekyll build

Configuration file: /Users/me/Sites/minima/_config.yml
            Source: /Users/me/Sites/minima
       Destination: /Users/me/Sites/minima/_site
 Incremental build: disabled. Enable with --incremental
      Generating... 
  Liquid Exception: no implicit conversion of Array into String in /_layouts/post.html

Expected behavior

My project should build

Additional context

Troubleshooting the issue until I found the culprit. I saw that the meta inside the yaml was exported incorrectly.

Instead of this:

title: Lowcountry Singers

It got exported from your Wordpress plugin as:

title: 
  - Lowcountry Singers

Looking at the issue further… I noticed I had a custom field I was using called "title". That's the reason.

Thirteen years ago, it was immature of me to decide to call a custom field, "title" considering the_title is a Wordpress-specific tag.

For idiots like me, could you filter this more specifically so your plugin looks for post title field rather than a custom field called, "title"?
