I run hugo for several years now and it suddenly stopped working.  
Today I created a new blog post in `content/posts/2025/RaspberryPi-Wallboard/index.md`

I run hugo and get the expected build output

```auto
Start building sites … 
hugo v0.147.9+extended+withdeploy linux/amd64 BuildDate=unknown

                  │ EN  
──────────────────┼─────
 Pages │ 302
 Paginator pages │ 10
 Non-page files │ 109
 Static files │ 16
 Processed images │ 21
 Aliases │ 2
 Cleaned │ 0 

Total in 847 ms

```

On the landing page I see the title and the ferst few sentences of the post as expected, but if I click the title, i get a 404.  
I clearly see that the directory and the HTML does not exist.

If I run `hugo -d tmp` I get a folder structure with all the static files (images) but no html file.

I expected an error but instead I just get a broken version.

Unfortunately I can’t say what version I ran when it worked the last time, now I run v0.147.9

the template system has changed in 0.146. see: [New template system in Hugo v0.146.0](https://gohugo.io/templates/new-templatesystem-overview/#article)

so I would try with 0.145.0.

and if that does not work, you will have to show more details. as usual sharing your repo is the simplest approach then.

I found out that it is related to the theme I use!  
If I use ananke as shown in the quickstart, it works.

The theme is one I adpated years ago and can be found here: [GitHub - Bouni/hugo-theme-salix: A hugo them based on hugo-theme-mini](https://github.com/Bouni/hugo-theme-salix)

Maybe you can easily spot the problem in there 😅

I try to compare the folders and files between the themes to figure out whats the issue

The fix is easy. Just remove this file:

> <https://github.com/Bouni/hugo-theme-salix/blob/main/layouts/_default/page.html>

It is emtpy anyway…

But do read [this](https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/possible-bug-single-layout-for-pages-in-v0-147-9/55179/23) if you want to know why it existed. Hint: it had something to do with themes being able to target the `.Type` ‘page’ through the templating structure. This is no longer possible, so it is related to this possible bug/breaking change.

This was resolved a few hours ago.
