I've built a site on Github pages with Jekyll. Recently I tried running an emoji_for_jekyll plugin. When I build and run the site locally, it seems to work. However, when I commit and view it online the emoji disappear and all that's left is the syntax (:smile:)
Here is a page on my site http://joshuahouston.github.io/code/2014/12/10/the-emoji-test.html
This is the resource I've followed. The 3 steps seem easy enough.
Install the emoji_for_jekyll gem:
gem install emoji_for_jekyll
Add emoji_for_jekyll to the list of gems in config.yml:
gems: ["emoji_for_jekyll"]
See beautiful emoji!
or
Copy emoji_for_jekll.rb and emoji.json into the _plugins directory
And you can view my site's pages on Github and they're even working there! https://github.com/joshuahouston/joshuahouston.github.io/blob/master/_posts/2014-12-10-the-emoji-test.markdown
Do you know what I'm missing? Why aren't the pages being generated correctly for the site but correctly elsewhere? Thank you.
Not all plugins can be run on Gitub pages (see documentation here).
If you want to use emojies on your gh-pages, you'll have to use parkr jemoji.
gem install jemoji_plugins folder content_config.yml to gems: ["jemoji"]jekyll serve
