Menu not rendering

[weeyin83]

I am running hugo locally and when installing the cupper theme, I get no side bar menu listed.

Is there something I need to explicitly call out or change?

You will need to add menu config to your config file. For a sample, see

Thanks @zwbetz-gh, I am using the examplesite config file, and I am not getting anything rendered down the left hand side. The menu isn't there.

Share your repo if you can. Hard to troubleshoot this in the dark.

My repo is the basic Hugo install with the cupper theme, there isn't a lot there, I am using most of the example site files to start to figure out how things work.

Found your issue :)

Your config.toml is overriding your config.yaml

So either delete your config.toml or rename it to something like config.toml.bak. Then re run hugo server and you should see your menu

It runs fine for me:

$ hugo server
