v0.14 might be a bit outdated. Can you upgrade to the latest release (v0.42.2)?

I am also not sure if template functions work inside Front Matter.

Your suggestion worked!

I was following this tutorial from DigitalOcean

The line in question was wget https://github.com/spf13/hugo/releases/download/v0.14/hugo_0.14_amd64.deb

I had to uninstall and reinstall Hugo by doing the following

Uninstall

sudo apt-get remove hugo
sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove hugo
sudo apt-get purge hugo
sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove hugo

Reinstall Latest Version

sudo wget https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v0.42.2/hugo_0.42.2_Linux-64bit.deb
sudo dpkg -i hugo_0.42.2_Linux-64bit.deb
