What did you do (e.g., steps to reproduce)

Removed the jekyll-feed plugin from my _config.yml

What did you expect to happen?

Jekyll should stop generating feeds (with one post in my site, feed generation is take 4+ seconds on every "save".

       Jekyll Feed: Generating feed for posts
                    ...done in 4.326657 seconds.

What happened instead?

GitHub Pages continues to inject jekyll-feed as a default plugin; jekyll-feed plugin injects posts as a required collection

Additional Information

jekyll-feed is listed as an optional plugin, but it does not appear to be optional at all.

I'm facing the same problem. Did you find a solution to it?

[jcarlson]

No, I did not.

I also have the same problem. I do not want the feeding and it is still doing it...

EDIT: I have found that in the Gemfile, from the theme I'm using, the plugin is still listed. When I commented it, Jekyll stopped generating feed anymore.

@pecuna tried your version and still is generating.

I cannot disable either.

Hi, guys

Feed option defined in theme, like this. Just remove it from Gemfile & bundle update then from _config.yml and restart Jekyll, feed should be gone.

None of the above works. I ended up just adding the file to .gitignore

[gmcclure]

Nope -- Jekyll feed remains, even when I try to disable. Gitignore it is.

[ashmaroli]

jekyll-feed or any other plugin will be automatically loaded by Jekyll if it is a runtime_dependency of your theme. Under regular circumstances, a solution to disable such automatic loading would be to build with --safe mode and ensuring the plugin is not listed in the site.config['whitelist'] array.

Whether the same is applicable to github-pages as well, is up for experimentation :wink:

This solution worked for me, thanks

Make sure you do not have a theme such as theme: minima in your _config.yml. This is default theme when doing jekyll new and minima in its version 2 (at least) depends on jekyll-feed.

Very disorienting to remove it from your gemfile and from config, and yet with the minima theme it's still there.
