I am a paid user of Obsidian sync and I set up obsidian on 3 devices (2 desktop, 1 mobile) this way:

  1. Create a new obsidian vault named notes
  2. Enable sync plugin and sign in
  3. Connect to remote obsidian sync.

I’ve gone into obsidian sync settings and made sure literally everything is set to sync

Nevertheless, settings don’t seem to be copied over to other vaults when I make them on one of the desktop devices.

For example, yesterday I installed Minimal theme and set up minimal theme settings plugin on my home pc. I’ve now arrived at work and none of those settings have been carried over.

Am I supposed to be setting up these vaults and sync in a different way?
Is there a better way to ensure syncing actually works?

I’ve just gone through and checked all the sync settings again on my work pc (I could have sworn I checked them already?)… but I had to go and manually download the minimal theme options plugin as it wasn’t enabled in the sync?

I can see in the sync log window that the latest version on my home pc has the plugin in the list, why wasn’t this applied when I enabled syncing?

Yes obsidian sync can sync themes and plugins.
I don’t know how you configure it.
