What I’m trying to do
I am new to Obsidian, and I’m trying to view/install community themes (Settings > Appearance > Themes > Manage), but they won’t load. I get a little flash notification in the corner which says Could not load community themes, please check your network. It doesn’t seem super helpful in pinpointing the issue to me, but the error in the console shows the following:
at t.<anonymous> (app.js:1:2086854)
at app.js:1:237228
at Object.next (app.js:1:237333)
at a (app.js:1:236051)
Things I have tried
- Restricted mode is disabled, as I understand it is supposed to be in order to view themes/plugins.
- I have seen other people in the forums resolve this issue by changing DNS settings, but that does not work for me (I changed mine to cloudflare’s
8.8.8.8and then restarted Obsidian just in case; seeing the same error). I suspect it’s not really a network issue at all, as I am able to view community plugins (Settings > Community plugins > Community plugins > Browse) without any issues. - Connecting via a VPN has not helped either. I saw some people saying some ISPs blocked the addresses for plugins and themes and a VPN spoofing a different location should circumvent that issue, though that seemed like it was primarily in India/China. I’m in the United States, but I thought I’d try it anyway. No dice.
This feels like a bug to me, but I’m posting under the Help category because I’m hoping I’m wrong and someone else has the solution I need. Has anyone else encountered this issue?
