after installing certain plugins my obsidian instance keeps crashing when I enable Community plugins. Pretty much can only run Obsidian in restricted/vanilla mode right now. The plugins I have installed are:
Things I have tried
I’ve tried turning off each plugin in turn and it appears Notion Like Tables plugin may be culprit. When I try to uninstall any of the plugins, my uninstall button click does nothing.
I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled obsidian at least 5 times over past 6 months. Been surviving in no plugin mode, but trying to resolve this now if I can…
Appreciate any help you all can give. Love this product and community!
I agree with @Feralflora , just because you can download some plugin, it doesn’t mean that it works too
Always check when plugins got their last and most recent updates.
Plugins older than 1-2 years or less (you’ve to check them individually) usually don’t work anymore and should be color labeled as obsolete
Another option: with the vault closed, you could remove or rename the {VAULT}/.obsidian/community-plugins.json file. This will keep all your plugins, but they’ll all be off when you reopen the vault. Then try turning them on one-at-a-time.
It’s not that the plugin is unmaintained or obsolete in this case, @EternalProtege just hasn’t updated it to the latest version (8.1.0), released 16 days ago.
Thanks @Feralflora - I realized from your reply that my post sounded quite harsh toward the plugin/plugin creator, which wasn’t my intention. Going to try upgrading. Thanks for everyone’s suggestions and help.
Hey @treywallis - no I haven’t been able to fix this. Just using on vanilla / restricted mode for now. Have uninstalled and deleted, then installed. But each time I uninstall and reinstall, the plugins are there and the issue repeats itself. No worries tho, too busy to dive fully into fixing this properly.
I’ve just become content with restricted mode. I go back and forth btwn iawriter (simplified mobile) and obsidian (richer desktop experience) anyway.
@EternalProtege Even if you uninstall Obsidian, if you use the same vault folder, it will still have the plugins. I have seen a few issues with people upgrading from Notion Like Tables (< 7.0.0) to DataLoom (8.0.0+). Could you try deleting <your-vault>/.obsidian/plugins/notion-like-tables folder? Then try reinstalling DataLoom and it should work, assuming it’s the plugin as the culprit.
