Check List

Please check followings before submitting a new issue.

• [x] I have already read Docs page & Troubleshooting page
• [x] I have already searched existing issues and they are not help to me
• [x] I examined error or warning messages and it's difficult to solve
• [x] Using the latest version of Hexo (run hexo version to check)

Expected behavior

When I install a theme with npm (eg: npm i hexo-theme-next), and I use one of its defined "tags" (as of Nunjuck tags), I expect it to be available in my content.

Actual behavior

When I install a theme with npm (eg: npm i hexo-theme-next), and I use one of its defined "tags" (as of Nunjuck tags), and start the development server (hexo server) I face an error which indicates me hexo does not about this "tag".

How to reproduce?

• Install hexo
• Install a theme via npm
• Write an article with a tag (like caniuse tag
• Face the error:

err: Error [Nunjucks Error]: _posts/blah.md [Line 5, Column 4] unknown block tag: caniuse

Is the problem still there under "Safe mode"?

Yes, because it is related to plugins/themes.

Environment & Settings

Node.js & npm version(node -v && npm -v)

v12.16.0
6.13.4

Your site _config.yml (Optional)

theme: 'hexo-theme-next'
theme_dir: node_modules

Replace

theme: 'hexo-theme-next'

With

theme: next

And remove

theme_dir: node_modules

In Hexo _config.yml, then try again.

Yes indeed, it works!
Thank you for this answer 👍

I would not have guessed this by reading the doc.

Question: what if the theme is hosted under an organization name, like @foo/hexo-theme-bar? Or if I want to call it @myuser/hexo-theme?

what if the theme is hosted under an organization name, like @foo/hexo-theme-bar?

Theme hosted under an organization hasn't been supported yet.
