Error occurring when trying to export

Anki Help
1

Hi there,

I’ve already tried restarting Anki, restarting with no Addons (holding the shift key down), etc. and still no luck.

Here is the message I receive:

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, repeating 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-on support site.

anki.errors.TemplateError: Card template ⁨1⁩ in notetype ‘⁨Cloze-df79c⁩’ has a problem.
See the preview for more information.

I would appreciate any sort of help as to how I can fix this. Thank you.

As the error message says, a card template in the notetype named “⁨Cloze-df79c⁩” has a problem that you can inspect in the preview screen (Click Cards when in the editor). Anki should show more info in that screen. You can also copy and paste your template content and post it here.

Oh, I see!

So the back template for that Note type had the following:

{{cloze:Text}}

{{Extra}}
{{hint:Summary}}

(with spaces signifying br’s for breaks)

When I was previewing the card it said something along the lines of there being no “Summary” so all I think I have to do is just delete {{hint:Summary}} from that line of code and that should be it, right?

Yes, I think this should solve the issue.

Seemed to have worked! Thanks!
