Hello,

Unfortunately I somehow accidentally deleted my cloze add-on. This has caused all my close cards to now have no cloze and they are straight up normal cards. I keep getting these persistent error pop ups saying an error has occurred. I tried re-downloading cloze, but it doesn’t seem to work. Here is the error message, I hope someone can help:

Error  
An error occurred. Please start Anki while holding down the shift key, which will temporarily disable the add-ons you have installed.  
If the issue only occurs when add-ons are enabled, please use the Tools\>Add-ons menu item to disable some add-ons and restart Anki, repeat until you discover the add-on that is causing the problem.  
When you’ve discovered the add-on that is causing the problem, please report the issue on the add-ons section of our support site.

You can use Tools\>Manage Notetypes to add a new Cloze type, then use Change Notetype in the browse screen to move your existing cards to the new notetype.
