I think middleware for 'layout' is not loaded properly

To load "layout" middleware in your rails application, Write below line to your application controller

include ::ActionView::Layouts

You can use a symbol which Rails will use to evaluate it when a request is processed. Guides

layout :themed_layout

def themed_layout
  if @user.site_theme == 'hometastic'
    'hometastic'
  else
    'agent'
  end
end
