Templater not parsing

What I’m trying to do

‘Simple’ things like <% tp.date.now(“dddd DD MMMM YYYY”) %> aren’t working anymore, when they used to previously. The page just shows the command as above, with no parsing.

Things I have tried

Up to date on plugins and Obsidian. Reinstalled Templater, reinstalled Obsidian (over the top of existing installation).

Perhaps an update has caused something to change - anyone else got an issue, or know a fix please?

How do you apply the template ? I mean, which command do you use ? :blush:

I’m asking because, more often than not, when the template is just returned as it is (without being parsed/run), it was because one would use a Templates core plugin command (e.g.: Templates: Insert template) instead of a Templater one (e.g.: Templater: Open insert template modal) in the command palette.

Without knowing how you’re trying to apply your Templater’s template though, I can’t say it’s the case here though :woman_shrugging:

Thanks for replying. I think I may have worked out the problem…

Templater seems to have changed the settings to avoid some sort of hack apparently: the setting (forgive me but the precise name I forget) that allows execution of commands upon opening the note. It seems to be a per device setting now. Once I’d flicked this on, all seems to work so far.

Ah yes, the Trigger template on new file creation was indeed changed recently :blush:
(Which could definitely have been the culprit here as it would impact how your template was potentially applied)

Glad to know you possibly fixed the issue you were encountering :raising_hands: !
