I don’t know, but I always get a error when I render my site with hugo:

```
INFO 2017/06/19 12:51:17 found taxonomies: map[string]string{"tag":"tags", "category":"categories"}

What can I do here?

The warning indicates that there is no layout defined for your sections.  
Meanwhile the error points out that in your `_default/single.html` you are calling a partial that doesn’t exist.

It seems that something is wrong with your theme. If you’re using one have you defined it in `config.toml`?

Yes I use the creative theme.([https://github.com/digitalcraftsman/hugo-creative-theme/blob/master/exampleSite/config.toml](https://github.com/digitalcraftsman/hugo-creative-theme/blob/master/exampleSite/config.toml)) I have put it in  
`theme = "hugo-creative-theme"` The creative theme is in the folder “themes”.

Well then in that case you need to sort your sections layout the terminal warning indicates the lookup order of the section templates that are missing.

Same goes for the missing partial.

You might as well use the theme’s Github repo as a guide and find out what are the theme files you’re missing.

Are you calling a partial with a full URL? If you can point me to _your_ source rather than that of the theme, I might be able to provide more insight…

I installed the new hugo version and made a new hugo site. Now it’s working. Thank you all for your help!
