Yellow cards / how to reset Anki?

Hi everyone,
Recently, when I try to ‘play’ a card, my new cards have been turning yellow and the layout isn’t showing up right (screenshots).

I’ve tried starting anki without add-ons, deleting them, and even deleting and reinstalling anki but nothing seems to work.

Does anyone know how to fix this ?

I apologize in advance if some words are confusing, english isn’t my first language :slight_smile:


This is likely coming from something in your card templates or styling. It’s an easy fix once you find it. Start by clicking “Cartes…”

Based on your formatting issues, I think this is probably a “type-your-answer” note type, which isn’t what you want. Can you post your Front Template, Back Template and Styling from the left side of that screen?



Here it is !

Oh yes, definitely fixable!

  • What is this note type called?
  • When this is all done, your want to have just Front → Back cards, right? One for each note?
  • I’m not sure but the name of the type of card is on the top left of the screenshot, right ? If so, it translates to “Card 1 : front+back”

  • Yes ! Just the question on front and answer on the back !

Thank you so much for your answers !

[Can you remove the “Solution” marker from your post above? That’s fighting with me when I try to post.]

“Card 1 : front+back”

I saw that! That is actually the “card type” (notes and cards are different). I was trying to figure out if this is a busted version of another template that we want to salvage, but Default templates are always replaceable, so let’s not worry about that.


On the front template:
Remove {{type:Verso}}

On the back template:
Below what is there now, add


<hr id=answer>

{{Verso}}

On styling:
Remove the line that says background-color: #F3ECAE;

[Unless you are using the “resize image add-on”, you can also remove everything from /*Start through add-on*/, if you like.]

Outside of this window
Manage Note Types > select this one > Rename > Change the name to “Basic-edited” or something else useful to you.


I think that should do it, but if you still have issues, show them to me and we’ll see what else we can tweak.

Everything is back to normal, thank you very much :slight_smile: Sorry for my unclear answers, i’m not perfectly familiar with anki yet !

You’re doing fine! I only need to clarify terminology so I give the right help!
