Issue Report: Error in Fetching _config.yml with Jekyll Admin

[kamyarothmanhamad]

Description:

When serving my Jekyll site locally and accessing Jekyll Admin at http://127.0.0.1:4000/admin/, I encounter an error message stating "Error: Could not fetch the config."

Tell us a bit about yourself:

• Version of JekyllAdmin I'm using: 0.11.1
• Version of Jekyll I'm using: 4.3.3
• Operating System: Windows 10
• Browser: Chrome

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add the jekyll-admin plugin to the _config.yml file.
2. Serve the Jekyll site locally using bundle exec jekyll serve.
3. Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:4000/admin/.

I expected the following:

Jekyll Admin should load properly and fetch the _config.yml file without any errors.

But got the following, instead:

An error message is displayed: "Error: Could not fetch the config."

Other details:

Below is the _config.yml file:

title: Dahatû | داهاتوو
email: kurddahatu@example.com
description: "Dahatu Foundation"
baseurl: ""
url: "https://dahatu-foundation-kurd.github.io"
twitter_username: dahatu

# Build settings
remote_theme: just-the-docs/just-the-docs

# Just the Docs settings
search_enabled: true
aux_links:
  "Theme on GitHub":
    - "//github.com/just-the-docs/just-the-docs"

plugins:
  - jekyll-remote-theme
  - jekyll-feed
  - jekyll-admin

Error message in the browser's developer console:

Error: Could not fetch the config

Steps taken to troubleshoot:

1. Validated _config.yml using an online YAML validator.
2. Checked file permissions to ensure _config.yml is readable.

The _config.yml file is located at the root of the project, and the site is hosted on GitHub Pages, but the error occurs during local development.

Adding this to _config.yml fixed for me.

edit: and it looks like you tried to get chatgpt's help, but it doesn't work on present problems, sorry

I recommend @SoumyaK4 's workaround until a new patched version of the frontend ships.

@SoumyaK4 solution helped me. Just adding it on cleartext so others can copy and paste it:

To your _config.yml file, add:

jekyll_admin:
  homepage: "pages"
