Plugin Completely Broken--site.baseurl_root and variables unusable

[88kbbq]

Is this project still maintained? Where can we get support?
{{ site.baseurl_root }}/{{ site.lang }} sees blank spaces or underlines in rendered HTML.

I've noticed base_url works as expected in a build but not with jekyll serve

I've elected to simply use data files and font matter for multilingual functionality. It works and it's easier to template and maintain. https://github.com/88kbbq/jekyll-template

I've managed to get things working well, it's just a shame Github Pages doesn't support this plugin.

Hi @88kbbq 👋 Are you still experiencing this issue with v1.6.0? If so let me know and I'll look into it.

@joshcummingsdesign I ended up just using data files and markdown to achieve multilingual functionality. I have three languages, check here.

Pretty much got everything done, including multilingual sitemap, schema markup, and alternate URLs. Works well, but it's not a change-one-change-all solution. I still have to manually update navigation, but other than that it's good. I could fix that but the site is small, no need. I think it's pretty good, need the template, let me know.

@88kbbq Cool! Thanks for letting me know. Going to close this issue out. Let us know if there is something further you need.

@kurtsson Can be closed.

I've been experiencing this issue. More specifically, site.baseurl and site.baseurl_root are unusable. What I believe would be a simple

{{ post.url | prepend: site.baseurl }}

I have to do an if/else like this one

{% if site.lang == 'en' %}{{ post.url | relative_url }}{% else %}/{{site.lang}}{{ post.url | relative_url }}{% endif %}

since | relative_url don't add the language information. Running the latest version of the al-folio theme, with Ruby 3.1.2 and the following dependencies:

I just found out that these variables happen to be empty if I set my baseurl to / instead of something else. I created the language toggle button like this in the _includes/header.html:

<!-- Toogle language -->
<li class="nav-item active">
{% if site.lang == "en" %}
    <a class="nav-link" href="{{site.baseurl_root}}/pt-br{{page.url}}"> PT-BR </a>
{% elsif site.lang == "pt-br" %}
    <a class="nav-link" href="{{site.baseurl_root}}{{ page.url }}"> EN </a>
{% endif %}
</li>

then, set my baseurl like this in the `_config.yaml'

baseurl: /al-folio

This seems to work, as the link that appears when I click on the PT-BR button is http://127.0.0.1:4000/al-folio/pt-br/. But when I changed my baseurl to

baseurl: /

the link that appears on the toggle is just http://pt-br/.
