    <div class="single-blog">
        <h1><%=blog.title></h1>
        <p><%=blog.body></p>
    </div>

    <%- include("./partial/footer.ejs") -%>
    </div>
</body>
</html>
Solution

  • you didn't close ejs tags for these two lines -

    <h1><%=blog.title></h1>
<p><%=blog.body></p>

    Close the tags and the problem will be solved. This site is helpful if you are new to ejs: https://ejs.co/

    <h1><%= blog.title %></h1>
<p><%= blog.body %></p>
