The cards weren’t hiding the clozed information. So, I deleted my account, uninstalled anki from desktop and then created a new account and reinstalled anki.
Now, the Cloze card is showing up as a blank card and says to go to tools and empty the cards.
The following is the code in the card:
Front Template:
{{cloze:Text}} {{type:cloze:Text}}
I tried this. It says “no empty card”
Moreover, as per the solution shared- it says the problem arises when there’s been a change in cloze deletions in the note.
However, I had made no such changes: it was simple- I just created two cloze deletions and added the notes- which then says to run empty cards.
Maybe either take a short screen recording or post 3 screenshots - one is from the review window with the error message, then a screenshot after clicking on the Edit button to see the fields’ content and then a screenshot after clicking on the Cards button to see the front template.
@Rumo is right and if it’s still not clear what went wrong and how to fix it, here’s a quote from the above manual.
To create a cloze deletion note, select the Cloze note type, and type some text into the “Text” field.
This is because the front and back templates contain {{cloze:Text}} and Anki expects to find cloze deletions in the “Text” field, not in the “Back Extra” field.
Oh my god! I understood what I was doing wrong: I was typing in back extra field! Thankyou so much! It is working now.
Its kinda odd. When I first used anki and I created cards with the method as I showed above- it was working fine.
