Overlayed tags appearing on backside of cards after reset

[alirajabpour]

Hello,
I’m experiencing an issue where multiple tags are appearing overlayed on the backside of my cards. The tags are stacking and overlapping across the card content, making them difficult to read.

Issue Details

• Status: No changes made to cards, I have even reset everything
• Affected Area: Back side of cards
• Issue Type: Multiple tags (such as #AK_Other, #RAK_Original_Decks, #Bootcamp, #Microbiology, etc.) are visually overlaying and covering the card content
• Screenshot: Attached below showing the overlayed tags on a brain lesions medical imaging card

Steps Taken

1. Made no manual changes to the cards
2. Performed a full reset of the deck
3. Issue persists after reset

Question

How can I fix the overlayed tags issue? Is this a rendering bug, or is there a configuration setting that needs to be adjusted?

Thank you for your help!

This is almost certainly a card template / styling issue, not a problem with the tags themselves or with your deck reset.

Those colored, stacked tag bars on AnKing-style cards are normally rendered in a single line at the bottom of the card. When they appear overlayed across the whole card, it’s usually because some of the CSS that controls their layout was changed, corrupted, or blocked by an add-on.

1. Temporarily disable add-ons and test

1. Close Anki.
2. Reopen Anki while holding Shift to start without add-ons.
3. Review a few of the affected cards.

• If the tags look normal again → an add-on is interfering with the styling (e.g. something that modifies the reviewer or night mode).
  • Re-enable add-ons in batches until you find the culprit.
• If the issue persists even with add-ons disabled → move to step 2.

2. Check the card type & template

For one of the affected cards:

1. Open the Browser (B).
2. Find the card, select it.
3. At the top, note the Note type (e.g. “AnKingOverhaul”, “AnKing vX”, etc.).
4. Click Cards… and:
   • Take a screenshot of the Back Template.
   • Take a screenshot of the Styling tab (CSS).

Please upload those screenshots in this thread. The problem is likely:

• A missing or extra </div> around the tag section, or
• CSS for the tag container (e.g. .tag-container, .ankitag, etc.) having position: absolute; / display: block; / incorrect height or line-height so the tags stretch across the card.

With that info we can compare against the official AnKing template and tell you exactly what to restore.

3. Try resetting the note type to the official version

If you’re on an AnKing deck and haven’t intentionally customized templates:

1. Go to the AnkiHub deck page you’re using (e.g. AnKing Overhaul).
2. Check the “Card Types / Templates” section (or related documentation) for the latest template.
3. In Anki, for the matching note type, use Cards… → Options to restore defaults (if available) or manually paste in the official Back Template and Styling.

If you’re not sure you’re on the current official note type, let me know:

• The exact deck name (e.g. “AnKing Step 1 & 2 vX”, “Bootcamp v…”).
• Your Anki version (Help → About).

If you can share:

• One card template + styling screenshot, and
• Confirm whether the issue happens with add-ons disabled,

I can give you a very targeted “paste this here” fix for the tag overlay.
