I have exactly the same problem as of the last four days.
I think I have tried everything in the debugging post aside from the sandbox vault which I’ll have a look at tomorrow (it’s late here).
I can bring back the sidebar content temporarily by going into the Core Plugins menu and toggling Files and Search off and back on again. When I close and reopen the app, however, they’re gone again. At least it makes the mobile app semi-usable again!
I’ve just gone back through and enabled/disabled every community plugin (thanks for the link to the debug thread which recommended Divide and Conquer).
Result: the Homepage plugin is the culprit.
However, I missed this the first time I tested it, because the sidebar settings only disappear if the Homepage plugin is set to open a workspace (not a file, which is its default state) on startup.
@dddave, do you by any chance use the Homepage plugin, and if so, do you have it set to display a workspace on startup?
Either way, I’m going to go open a Github issue! Cheers.
I do, and sorry I hadn’t done the checks yet. I’ve been crazy busy.
The homepage plugin makes sense though. It feels like it started when that large update happened. I do use it and it is set to a workspace. I just tested by setting it it to a page and restarted, and sidebars are back. I suppose an issue should be reported to the dev.
Update - the developer of the Homepage plugin (mirnovov) has responded and confirmed that the bug is replicable, but has picked up a detail that the rest of us did not.
Mirnovov notes that workspaces created in mobile mode blank out the sidebar when activated in desktop mode, and workspaces created in desktop mode blank out the sidebar when activated in mobile mode.
I can confirm that I can replicate this, including in Restricted Mode.
So this does appear to be an Obsidian issue, not a plugin issue. I’m not sure of the etiquette here - should one of us create a separate bug report?
I’m still having the issue where my sidebar contents (calendar, File browser, etc) disappear after changing workspaces. Closing and reopening brings them back. This was reported and fixed several releases ago, but somewhere along the way it came back
Similar here. I can see the folder list and can pull open the backlinks pane, but the calendar doesn’t show up. I can see “Calendar: Open Weekly Note” and “Calendar: Reveal active note” in the command pallet, but that’s it.
I’m getting this behavior on an Android phone and tablet, latest Obsidian app. No custom css or themes, no third party plugins (or any other community plugins), just plain vanilla.
