Breaking change (Hugo >v0.120.0): author field

[bluefander]

Hi all!

I am getting this error:

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Thanks!

Important

Pinning this issue. The following is actually required for Hugo >v0.120.0.

As a fix, users can restructure the author param as follows:

From:

Params:
  author: "example"

To:

Params:
  author:
    name: "example"

I see, thanks for the fix!
