`argument must be a string` exception

[fkorotkov]

I'm using this amazing plugin with material for mkdocs and getting this stacktrace:

ERROR   -  Error reading page 'blog/posts/2025-02-18-low-priority-tasks.md': int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a real number, not 'NoneType'
