yasnippet does not load automatically when .html file is loaded

yasnipped has been installed on emacs using elpa/melpa package system.

I can confirm it's in ~/.emacs.d/elpa/yasnippet-20160104.129

When I load an .html file there's no yasnippet menu, as expected, please advise. I did not add anything extra to .emacs

I think your solution might cause you some problems when it comes to updating the elpa yasnippet package. Normally not a good idea to rename the package directories.

There are a couple of things you probably should try first.

  1. When you have opened an html file, try running

    M-x yas-minor-mode

If this works, then all you need to do is add a call to yas-minor-mode in the startup hook for html-mode.

  1. Alternatively, you can try executing

    M-x yas-global-mode

If this works, then all you need to do is put a call to 

(yas-global-mode)

in your init.el file

  1. If this does not work, check the value of the variables yas-snippets-dirs and yas-installed-snippets-dirs. The former is the normal yas variable which lists the directories to search for snippets. The latter is a variable which should contain the path to the top level snippets directory in the elpa package. The former would normally contain something like

    "~/.emacs.d/snippets" yas-installed-snippets-dires

If the yas-installed-snippets-dirs variable exists and looks correct, you could try putting something like

(yas/load-directory yas-installed-snippets-dirs)

in your init.el file after you have done the require for yasnippets
