Ejs error in all the pages in the site

SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier in /app/views/index.ejs while compiling ejs

If the above error is not helpful, you may want to try EJS-Lint:

Or, if you meant to create an async function, pass `async: true` as an option.

Welcome to the forum @MR.Nak

We might be able to help if you provide a github repo or a live demo of your work-in-progress. The error message is unfortunately not enough to understand the context of your application. We can only grasp that the issue is in the index.ejs file.

its not only in index.ejs, its in all the pages

Try it this way:

<%- include (‘partials/header.ejs’); -%>

   ...
<%- include ('partials/footer.ejs'); -%>
