+ **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.
