Copy the contents of your config file and share, we’d be able to help more. It may be you are not setting a theme in your config. If your theme in the the themes directory, try including the theme in the command:

hugo server -t exampleThemeName

If you need more assistance, you ought to share your entire project. :slight_smile:

In which way i share the whole project?

baseURL = "http://example.org/"
languageCode = "en-us"
title = "erdhandwerk"
theme = "ga-hugo-theme-master"

This is an old theme that does not work with Hugo versions beyond v.0.57.0

See: https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoThemes/issues/682

I suggest that you choose another theme. See https://themes.gohugo.io for a curated list of Hugo Themes that are guaranteed to work with the latest Hugo.

i tried this too with the same issue:

i also tried

hugo server -t exampleThemeName

an get this

C:\Users\ERD>hugo server -t hugo-theme-zen-master
Error: module “hugo-theme-zen-master” not found; either add it as a Hugo Module or store it in “C:\Users\ERD\themes”.: module does not exist

7

Is there a directory at C:\Users\ERD\themes\hugo-theme-zen-master with the theme’s files?

8

yes there is. and there is a folder with the theme in the website structure under the folder themes.

My advice is to not use Windows. I know, I know, everyone is like, what, that isn’t real advice. But I haven’t used Windows in like, decades, so it’s entirely possible.

However, and lucky for you (presuming you ignore my advice), maybe someone will come along and have a clue.

Normally you share it from a git repo, or link to a file archive if you don’t use version control. It goes a long way towards finding a solution. :slight_smile:
