Issues with render-link.html

Issue description

When I try and run hugo after installing the theme, I get thefollowing error:
Error: add site dependencies: load resources: loading templates: "./themes/congo/layouts/_default/_markup/render-link.html:2:1": parse failed: template: _default/_markup/render-link.html:11: function "hasPrefix" not defined

I searched and found this issue on Hugo itself where they said it ws probably due to using the wrong shorthand for the links:
gohugoio/hugo#12929

Replacing the {{<s with {{%s changed the error to:
Error: add site dependencies: load resources: loading templates: "./themes/congo/layouts/_default/_markup/render-link.html:11:1": parse failed: template: _default/_markup/render-link.html:11: function "hasSuffix" not defined

I changed "hasSuffix" to "strings.hasSuffix" and that changed the error again to:
Error: add site dependencies: load resources: loading templates: "./themes/congo/layouts/partials/footer.html:7:1": parse failed: template: partials/footer.html:7: function "page" not defined

Is this a bug with Hugo or am I missing something? Am I on the wrong version of Hugo, Go, Congo or something? I'm new to Hugo, this is only my second time using it.

This is otherwise a completely blank, newly created, hugo repository. I first tried to install the theme using hugo with the instructions here on the installation page. I hit the same issue so now it is intsalled as a git submodule.

I had the same issue, but managed to fix in thanks to a previous resolved issue. Basically, the apt version of Hugo is too old, and you should install a recent one. In the latest releases, pick the appropriate extended .deb: Linux AMD64 (without the extended version, there are other issues).

Hope this helps!

Please try this again with a more recent Hugo version and open a new issue if you are still having trouble.
