Hello Willem... I do think we'll be releasing the GA of 8.2 soon, and almost certainly before the end of the month.

Have you had a chance to test it in any way? What are your thoughts? 🤔

Error only occurs when on theme community-default. No error when on theme community-bootstrap.

I like to use the theme community-default so can you fix this?

It's a clean install using theme community-default (as installed)
