5. **Q:** My site doesn't work when I enable `related_blog_posts`. Why? <br>
**A:** This is probably due to the [classifier reborn](https://github.com/jekyll/classifier-reborn) plugin, which is used to calculate
related posts. If the error states `Liquid Exception: Zero vectors can not be normalized...`, it means that it could not calculate related
posts for a specific post. This is usually caused by [empty or really small blog posts](https://github.com/jekyll/classifier-reborn/issues/64)
without meaningful words (i.e. only [stop words](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_words)) or even
[specific characters](https://github.com/jekyll/classifier-reborn/issues/194) you used in your posts. Also, the calculus for similar posts are
made for every `post`, which means every page that uses `layout: post`, including the announcements. To change this behavior, simply add
`related_posts: false` to the front matter of the page you don't want to display related posts on.
