Hi Kristina,

I’m sorry to hear about your issue with your non-AnkiHub decks showing blank cards. This appears to be related to a note type change that has occurred with your cards. Since you mentioned they changed from “Card 1” to “Cloze 1” and are now blank, this is likely because the cards have been converted to a cloze deletion type without having proper cloze formatting.

Here’s how you can fix this without losing your scheduling:

Solution:

  1. Check for empty cards first:

    • In Anki, go to ToolsEmpty Cards
    • Click Delete (leave the box ticked)
    • This will remove any cards that are completely empty
  2. Fix the note type issue:

    • Open the Browser (press B)
    • Search for your affected decks (e.g., “deck:Jacksparrow”)
    • Select all affected cards
    • Right-click and choose Change Note Type
    • Change back to the original note type (likely “Basic” or whatever was used before)
    • Make sure to map the fields correctly when prompted
  3. If the above doesn’t work:

    • You might need to restore from a backup
    • In Anki, go to FileSwitch Profile
    • Click Open Backup
    • Choose a recent backup from before the issue occurred

This issue is different from the AnkiHub-related blank card problem you referenced, as that’s typically caused by protected fields on AnkiHub decks.

If you need more assistance, please let me know which step you’re having trouble with or if none of these solutions work for your specific situation.
