The theme should have handled this better, but seems you have to set sidebarRecentLimit in site params, e.g. config.toml:

[params]
sidebarRecentLimit = 5

… or whatever value

Problem solved . We had to move , and rename the file sample-config.toml from \ themes \ Hugo-Octopress to site folder \ example.com

Next time please create an issue on Github or just message me here or another way so I can help you.

Bep is right that the theme should handle it better. I should check if the variable exists in the config before trying to access it. I will create an issue on Github about sidebarMenuEnabled and sidebarRecentLimit not being set in the config file.
