Jekyll - YAML Front Matter Defaults not working

votes

I have a multi-site Jekyll project with folders for each site, slc, and la.

However, my YAML Front Matter defaults are not working. None of the default values--including the layout, crucially--are being transmitted to my templates:

//config.yml:

defaults: 
  -
    scope:
      path: "la"
    values:
      layout: "default-la"
      title: "Store Title"
      email: "[email protected]"
      baseurl: "" # the subpath of your site, e.g. /blog/
      url: "http://url.com"

// Folder structure

  {% include head.html %}

    {% include header-la.html %}

    <div class="page-content">

Add a front matter to la/index.html

<div class="home">
    STUFF
</div>

Now your default settings will apply.
