title_seperator not working for "|"

[deepaksood619]

• This is a question about using the theme.
• This is a feature request.
• I believe this to be a bug with the theme.
  • I have updated all gems with bundle update.
  • I have tested locally with bundle exec jekyll build.

Expected behavior

title_separator : "|"

The title doesn't show the title separator as specified, when pipe is used (above image)

title_separator : "-"

I tried it with "," "x" and it's working, it seems that title_seperator : "|" is only not working (pipe |)
Its not working in any page, home, blog, etc.

You have to use the HTML entity title_separator: "|". The | pipe character means something in YAML and it's getting tripped up there.

Thank you so much...
I was just wondering that, is there any way we can have a post that will show in archive and is linked to other post. i.e. clicking in the post will direct it to a post posted on another website?
Another use case - portfolio in grid view showing portfolio example, but clicking on a grid takes user to the link attached and not to blog or about of portfolio?
Can we achieve this?

Sure. You can use the "Link Post" code to get an idea of how to do this. You'll most likely need to alter the theme some.

If you go to the Year Archive and scroll down to Post: Link you'll see it links to an external site... and the link icon goes to the post's permalink.

Relevant source files:

• _includes/archive-single.html
• post-link.md

Thanks for the reply,
I exactly wanted this functionality.

But the problem now is that since there is a grid layout archive for my project portfolios, i am doing this in my portfolio.html

<div class="grid__wrapper">
  {% assign items = site.portfolio | sort: 'date' | reverse %}
  {% for post in items %}
    {% include archive-single.html type="grid" %}
  {% endfor %}
</div>

and the problem is that in post with link, the date tag is not working, excerpt and header are working though.

How would i achieve a sort on date as my portfolio links are not created by date since i don't want that, i wanted a simple direct link for them, so i am not saving the files in collection with date prefixes. And if i don't do the date sort then the portfolios are shown in alphabetical order.

So how would i achieve this.

Sorry, i got the solution. Thanks. It was working, issue was on formatting.
