I am struggling to create new posts via blogdown. Everytime I attempt to create a new post, I get the following message:
Loading required package: shiny

This is happening irrespective of site theme being used, even when I attempt to create a new website with a different theme. Additionally, using the default Lithium theme leads to this:
Creating your new site

I had 2 blogs which were made prior to the v1.0 blogdown update (I recently decided to start posting on them again), so I am unsure if it is a combination of changes behind the scenes combining with newer Hugo versions causing this. Initially I was getting build errors pointing to my partials (I was unable to use blogdown::serve_site(), so I replicated the partials from the GitHub repository of the Lithium theme, which removed these errors. I was unsure of where the error was exactly before.
Additionally, when I try blogdown::build_site(build_rmd = TRUE), every single (already existing) post of mine gets reknitted apart from the most recent one. blogdown::build_site(build_rmd='timestamp') simply gets stuck, leading me to end the process.

This worked, I had to downgrade the version of Hugo I was building with.
