I have had the Pepper deck in the past with no issues. After being off anki for about a month I got back on and now my Pepper deck is not working properly. No matter what I do there is 30 cards per topic. There are cards that have no text on them that are blank fields in the “extra Q” fields but there is still a card and the tools feature does not recognize it as an empty card. There are always 30 fields so I think that is where it is coming from but I have no idea how to fix this. This is happening in every topic of the deck there are exactly 30 cards each.
I have tired to unsubscribe on ankihub, use a back up from when I know it was working last, and log out and log back in but not matter what it always comes up like I have pictured.
I’ll help you troubleshoot this issue with your Pepper deck in AnkiHub. Let me search for some relevant information that might help solve this problem.

Hi @bryceliedtke,
It sounds like you’re encountering an issue with your Pepper deck where you’re getting exactly 30 cards per topic, with some cards having empty fields but still being created. This is a known issue that can happen when there’s a mismatch between how fields are set up and the actual content.
Here are some steps to fix this:
-
Try the Empty Cards tool first:
- Go to Tools in the Anki menu
- Select Empty Cards
- Click Delete (with the box ticked)
This should remove cards that have no content but are still being generated.
-
If that doesn’t work, the issue might be related to how cloze deletions are set up in the deck:
- Sometimes when a card previously had multiple cloze deletions (like c1, c2, c3, etc.) but then they’re changed or removed, Anki still tries to create cards for those positions even though they’re empty.
- The fixed number (30) per topic suggests there might be a template creating exactly that many cards regardless of content.
-
Try completely reinstalling the deck:
- Unsubscribe from AnkiHub
- Delete the deck completely from your Anki
- Clear your AnkiWeb sync data
- Reinstall the latest version of the Pepper deck from AnkiHub
-
Check card templates:
- Browse to one of the problem cards
- Click “Cards…” to view the template
- Look for any issues in how cards are being generated
If these steps don’t resolve your issue, please provide:
- Which exact Pepper deck you’re using (version/edition)
- Screenshots of the card templates
- Any error messages you get when using the Empty Cards tool
Let me know if this helps or if you need more specific assistance!
It says there are no blank cards. No matter what the card type is it is only forming one card per field. The version is through ankihub and can be found here Sign In
I’ll help you troubleshoot this issue with your Pepper deck where you’re getting exactly 30 cards per topic.
Based on your latest update, it seems the Empty Cards tool isn’t detecting any blank cards, yet you’re still experiencing the problem. This suggests the issue might be related to how the card templates are set up in relation to the fields.
Here are some specific troubleshooting steps:
-
Check if you’re in “Notes” mode instead of “Cards” mode in the browser:
- Open the browser (Browse button)
- At the top, look for a dropdown that might say “Notes” instead of “Cards”
- If it’s set to “Notes”, change it to “Cards”
- This can sometimes cause confusion about how many cards are actually being created
-
Reset your AnkiHub data:
- In Anki, go to the browser
- Click on the AnkiHub button at the top
- Select “Reset Local Changes”
- This will sync fresh data from AnkiHub and might resolve template issues
-
Check for conditional card generation:
- In the browser, select one of the problematic cards
- Click on “Cards…” to view the templates
- Look for any conditional code (often in the form of
{{#Field}}...{{/Field}}) that might be creating cards regardless of content
-
Try a full reset of the deck:
- Unsubscribe from the deck in AnkiHub
- Completely delete the deck from Anki
- Restart Anki
- Clear your AnkiWeb sync (you might need to perform a one-way sync from AnkiWeb)
- Subscribe to the deck again through AnkiHub
-
Contact AnkiHub support directly:
- Since this is a specific issue with the Pepper deck on AnkiHub, you might need specialized support
- You can reach out through the AnkiHub website or through their Discord channel
If none of these steps work, it would be helpful if you could share:
- Screenshots of the card templates (browse to a card, click “Cards…”)
- Screenshots showing the fields for a few sample notes that are generating these problematic cards
This seems to be a unique issue specifically with the Pepper deck structure and how it interacts with AnkiHub, so a more in-depth examination of the deck structure might be necessary.
Hello,
Here are some solutions for the issues you’re facing.
For the 30 cards per day limit:
- Go to the deck options for “Sketchy Micro - Pepper.”
- Set the “New cards/day” limit to your desired number.
- Make sure the “Preset,” “This deck,” and “Today Only” tabs all have the same number.
- After that, click the arrow next to the “Save” button and select “Save to All Subdecks.”
For the glitched cards:
First, please try resetting your local changes. This will make your deck identical to the most up-to-date version on AnkiHub. Here’s a tutorial on how to do that: How to Reset Local Changes
If that doesn’t solve the issue, the next step is to check if the cards you are having problems with are displayed correctly on the AnkiHub website.
- If they look correct on the website but not in Anki after resetting, please provide us with more information so we can investigate further.
- If the cards have the same issues on the AnkiHub website, then unfortunately, there isn’t much we can do to help. Since this is not an official AnKing deck, the best solution would be to contact the deck owner directly.
Let me know if you need help with anything else.
