Community themes no longer visible - it's as if I'm not online (though I am)

I have several vaults; on some of them I have gone into Steeings - Appearance - Themes - Manage - and selected Material Gruvbox.

I have tried to select this theme for more recently created vaults, and I get no themes to choose from, just a popup message that reads “Could not load community themes, please check your network”.

I guess there are at least two resolutions:

  • fix the underlying issue
  • clearly I have already got gruvbox on my system, presumably there is a way of pointing the settings in the newer vaults at the already downloaded gruvbox, maybe by going into my Obsidian dotfiles.

Any thoughts? Thank you, G
