I use <a href="https://gohugo.io/">Hugo</a> with the <a href="https://github.com/Vimux/Mainroad">Mainroad</a> theme and I hadn&rsquo;t updated the site in quite a while. I updated Hugo to the latest stable version and tried to rebuild the site to include the new content. I ran into an error.</p> <p>The error was:</p> <div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;"><code class="language-text" data-lang="text"><span style="display:flex;"><span>Site.Author was deprecated in Hugo v0.124.0 and subsequently removed. </span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>Implement taxonomy &#39;author&#39; or use .Site.Params.Author instead. </span></span></code></pre></div><p>I grepped the files in the theme and found .Site.Author in two files - author.html and authorbox.html. I replaced all the instances of &ldquo;.Site.Author&rdquo; with &ldquo;.Site.Params.Author&rdquo;. I also changed the &ldquo;Site.Params.Author.avatar&rdquo; to &ldquo;Site.Params.Author.image&rdquo;. Authorbox was now activated but nothing was displaying. So I looked at a couple of other newer themes to see what parameter names in config.toml needed to be changed. The &ldquo;[Author]&rdquo; section I renamed to [Params.author]&quot; and changed &ldquo;avatar&rdquo; to &ldquo;image&rdquo;.</p>
