How to use Minima theme so that socials appear in footer of page AND google analytics receives data?

I have created a Jekyll blog with the minima theme and have noticed two issues:

  1. If I use the "default" minima theme, my google analytics (GA4) property doesn't receive data, but everything is rendering as expected on the page.

  2. If I use the remote-theme version of minima, my google analytics property does receive data, but the socials specified in my config file are not rendered in the footer. I inspected the html being rendered and there is a "social-links" element and an empty "social-media-list" unordered list.

I have been experimenting with configurations in my Gemfile and Config file without success.

Is anyone else experiencing similar issues? I appreciate any pointers on what I'm missing.

Hi, if you're using the theme via remote_theme, then social media should be configured as minima.social_links. For example:

minima:
  social_links:
    twitter: jekyllrb

Refer the README doc on the master branch for further details.

Perfect, thank you! I had not included the minima line previously
