Here is the menu item defined in my config.toml:

> [[menu.main]]  
> weight = 2  
> identifier = “tags”  
> name = “Tags”  
> pre = “\<i class="sidebar-button-icon fa fa-lg fa-tags"\>”  
> url = “/tags”

but when i get to [http://localhost:1313/tags/](http://localhost:1313/tags/), it is what I see:

> — layout: page title: Tag Cloud footer: false —  
> {% tag\_cloud %}

I am using the theme hyde.

I have tried to add a template page.html like this under themes/hyde/layouts/\_default

> {{ partial “header.html” . }}
> 
> # {{ .Title }}
> 
> {{ $data := .Data }} {{ range $key, $value := .Data.Terms.ByCount }} - {{ $value.Name }}({{ $value.Count }})
> {{ end }} 
> 
> {{ partial “footer.html” . }}

but it does not fix the problem.

My version of hugo is **Hugo Static Site Generator v0.30.2 darwin/amd64 BuildDate: 2017-11-03T20:48:30+11:00**

Looks like your template is broken, if you’re seeing stuff like {%%} coming thru. You’d need a taxonomy template to show your tags list.

Did you have a read of these?

Did you try the `--verbose` tag on your hugo server command? That might give you a hint.
