in my anki deck, except for “Extra” field, all other field’s content is not showing!
I’ll help you troubleshoot why your field content isn’t showing up in Anki. This is a common issue that could have several causes. Let me search for similar issues in the forum first.

I see you’re having an issue where only your “Extra” field is showing content, while other fields appear empty. This can be frustrating when trying to study your cards. Let me help you troubleshoot this issue.
This could be related to a few possible causes:
- Card template issue: The fields might not be properly referenced in your card template.
- Field visibility settings: Some fields might be configured not to display.
- Sync issue: There might be a problem with your deck synchronization.
Here are some steps you can try:
-
Check your card templates:
- Browse to the card in your collection
- Click on “Cards…” button to view the template
- Make sure all fields you want to display are properly referenced in the template (they should appear like {{FieldName}})
-
Verify field content:
- When editing a note, confirm that the fields actually contain content
- Sometimes content might exist but be hidden due to template issues
-
Try browser view:
- Open the card browser and look at the note there
- See if the field content appears in the browser even if not on the card
-
Restart Anki:
- Sometimes simply closing and reopening Anki resolves display issues
If you’re using an AnkiHub deck, you might also want to check if your AnkiHub add-on is properly updated and that you’ve correctly synchronized all deck content.
Would you be able to share which specific deck you’re using and whether this is happening with all cards or just specific ones? This would help me provide more targeted assistance.
thats the problem!
its not actually in the browse section of any cards in my entire deck!!
I’ll help you investigate why your field content isn’t showing in the browse section across your entire deck. This is concerning since it suggests a more fundamental issue with your Anki collection.

I understand the issue now. If your field content isn’t showing up in the browse section at all, this is likely related to how the data is being managed in AnkiHub. Let me help you resolve this.
Based on your description, this appears to be an issue with protected fields in AnkiHub. When fields are protected in AnkiHub, the content won’t appear in your local Anki application.
Here’s how to fix it:
-
Check if you’re using an AnkiHub deck: Based on your screenshot and the issue description, this is likely the case.
-
Unprotect the fields in AnkiHub:
- Go to the AnkiHub web app
- Find your deck
- Click the 3 dots in the top right corner
- Select Manage protected data
- Uncheck any fields that are currently protected (these are the ones missing content)
- Save your changes
-
Reset local changes in Anki:
- Open Anki desktop
- Go to the Browse section
- Click on AnkiHub at the top of the window
- Select Reset local changes
This should restore the content to your fields. The issue happens because protected fields in AnkiHub don’t sync their content to your local Anki application - this is by design to allow the deck creator to maintain control over certain field contents.
If you’re still having issues after trying these steps, please let me know which specific deck you’re using and I can provide more targeted help.
ive check that all the fields are unprotected
what next?
I’ll search for more information to help resolve this issue.

Thanks for confirming you’ve checked that all fields are unprotected. Let’s try some additional troubleshooting steps:
-
Force a full sync from AnkiHub:
- In Anki, go to the Browse section
- Click on the AnkiHub menu at the top
- Select “Force Resync” for your deck
- This will pull all the latest data from AnkiHub
-
Check for add-on conflicts:
- Restart Anki while holding down the Shift key (this disables all add-ons)
- Check if your fields appear correctly in this mode
- If they do, it suggests an add-on conflict
-
Verify card templates:
- In the Browse section, select a card
- Click “Cards…” to view the template
- Make sure the fields are correctly referenced (e.g.,
{{FieldName}}) - Check if any custom JavaScript or CSS might be hiding the fields
-
Run database check:
- Go to Tools → Check Database
- This can fix some database corruption issues
-
Try exporting and reimporting the deck:
- Export the deck (without scheduling information)
- Create a new profile in Anki
- Import the deck to the new profile
- See if the fields appear correctly
If none of these steps work, please provide more information:
- Which specific deck are you using?
- When did this problem start?
- Have you made any recent changes to Anki or the deck?
This additional context would help me provide more specific assistance for your situation.
evrything fine
still issue
what next?
I see you’re still having issues despite trying the previous steps. Let’s try some more targeted troubleshooting:
-
Reset All AnkiHub Data:
- In Anki, go to the AnkiHub menu (at the top of the window)
- Select “Reset AnkiHub Data”
- This performs a complete reset of all AnkiHub-related data and should force a fresh download
-
Check for Sync Conflicts:
- Sometimes conflicts between AnkiWeb and local changes can cause issues
- Go to Tools → Preferences → Network tab
- Click “Force full sync on next sync”
- Then sync with AnkiWeb
-
Troubleshoot Anki Database:
- Close Anki
- Restart your computer
- Open Anki and immediately go to Tools → Check Database
-
Check Browser Display Settings:
- In the Browser, go to the column display settings (right-click on column headers)
- Make sure all relevant fields are selected to display
- Sometimes fields appear empty because they’re not configured to show
-
Try a Different Computer/Device:
- If possible, sync to AnkiWeb and check if the issue persists on another device
- This can help determine if it’s a device-specific problem
If you’re still experiencing issues after these steps, we might need to look at more advanced solutions:
- Which specific AnkiHub deck are you using?
- Are you using the latest version of Anki and the AnkiHub add-on?
- Have you tried creating a new Anki profile and subscribing to the deck there?
These details would help me provide more specific assistance for your particular situation.
but when in browse section
in ankihub
in i select reset all local chnages in a deck
in that box
my deck “Anking” is not appearing why?
I see the issue now. Your deck isn’t appearing in the “Reset Local Changes” dialog box in AnkiHub, which prevents you from resetting it to get the missing field content.
This could happen for a few reasons:
- You’re not currently subscribed to the deck through AnkiHub
- The deck might have been imported manually rather than through AnkiHub
- There might be an issue with your AnkiHub connection
Here’s what to try:
-
Verify your AnkiHub subscription:
- Go to the AnkiHub web app
- Check your subscriptions to confirm this deck is actively subscribed
-
Check your AnkiHub add-on connection:
- In Anki, click on the AnkiHub menu
- Select “Check Connection” or “Settings”
- Make sure you’re properly logged in
-
Try subscribing to the deck again:
- If you can identify which deck it is on AnkiHub, try:
- Unsubscribing from the deck
- Resubscribing to it
- This should re-establish the link between your local deck and AnkiHub
- If you can identify which deck it is on AnkiHub, try:
-
Update your AnkiHub add-on:
- Go to Tools → Add-ons
- Select the AnkiHub add-on
- Click “Check for Updates”
- Restart Anki after updating
If none of these solutions work, you might need to:
- Export your notes with any personal edits you want to keep
- Completely remove the problematic deck
- Fresh install the deck through AnkiHub
Could you let me know which specific deck you’re using? This would help provide more targeted assistance.
yeah thats true im not a current memeber
then what to do?
I understand now - you’re not currently a member of AnkiHub, which explains why you can’t reset the deck through the AnkiHub interface. This is likely the root cause of your issue with missing field content.
Here are your options:
-
Subscribe to AnkiHub:
- If you want to use the full AnKing deck with all updates and content, you’ll need an AnkiHub subscription
- Visit AnkiHub’s website to see subscription options
- After subscribing, you can properly download the deck with all field content
-
If you prefer not to subscribe:
- You can try to find an exported version of the deck from another source
- Note that this won’t include updates and might be missing content
- The official AnKing deck is designed to work with AnkiHub
-
Use a different deck:
- If the AnkiHub subscription isn’t an option, consider using a different free deck that matches your study needs
-
Temporary fix for your current deck:
- Export your current cards to preserve any scheduling
- Reimport from a complete .apkg file if you have one
- Note that this won’t resolve the underlying issue of not having an AnkiHub subscription
The missing field content is happening because the deck is designed to pull content from AnkiHub, and without an active subscription, it can’t access all the field data properly.
Would you like more information about AnkiHub subscription options, or do you have other questions about how to proceed?
Hello,
Just to make sure I understand correctly, in this post (Back side of all AnKing cards not appearing), you mentioned the “Back” field (which is the “Extra” field) was missing. But now, the “Extra” field is present, while every other field is missing, including the “Front” field? Has anything changed or been resolved since then?
When did this problem start? Was everything working correctly before?
Regarding the issue, it seems that somehow the contents of your fields went missing, and you are not currently a member. The only way to restore everything is to subscribe to the deck again and then reset your local changes (How to Reset Local Changes).
Alternatively, if it’s a better fit for your situation, you can apply for a scholarship here: https://www.ankihub.net/scholarships
Let me know if this answers your questions! 
Yeah I reset all my setting like almost everything
And somehow it got fixed
Thank you so much
