FAQ

The questions that come up most often.

The community directory hangs or fails to install

The directory downloads both its list and the plugin files from GitHub. If GitHub is slow or blocked on your network, install from an offline package instead; the files are identical.

I copied the files but the plugin isn't listed

Check, in order:

  1. Path: it should be vault/.obsidian/plugins/gogoga-mindmap/main.js. A common mistake is an extra folder level (plugins/gogoga-mindmap/gogoga-mindmap/) or the wrong vault.
  2. Files: at least main.js and manifest.json. On GitHub, don't download the "Source code" archive; Obsidian can't use it.
  3. Restart: quit and reopen Obsidian, or click reload under Community plugins.
  4. Restricted mode: no community plugin loads while it is on.

I picked the theme but nothing changed

  • The folder must be named gogoga: vault/.obsidian/themes/gogoga/theme.css.
  • Check Settings → Appearance → Themes shows gogoga selected.
  • Turn off your CSS snippets (Settings → Appearance) to rule out a conflict.

Where are the theme's options?

The theme's switches (such as the highlighter look) are exposed through the Style Settings plugin. Install it from the community directory and a Style Settings page appears in settings.

Are offline packages the same as the directory?

Yes. This site syncs from GitHub Releases automatically, so main.js, manifest.json and styles.css are the same files the directory serves. The download page lists every SHA-256.

Can a plugin installed offline update from the directory later?

Yes. Listed plugins keep the same id, so Obsidian offers updates as usual once GitHub is reachable. Otherwise, download the new package and copy it over.

Will updating lose my settings?

No. Settings live in the plugin folder's data.json, which packages don't include.

How do I install on a phone?

See On a phone or tablet. In short: on iPhone, install on a computer and sync; on Android, a file manager that shows hidden files works.

Found a bug or have an idea?

Open an issue on the plugin's GitHub repository:

Include your Obsidian version, plugin version and OS, plus a screenshot if you can.
