Daily journal template not being used

Questions & Help

To check if things are setup correctly:

1. Test if the template is configured correctly

Run the template (anywhere): type the slash-command /templates, a list of templates should show up, choose your daily template. Press enter. It should run.

If not, your template is wrong. It should look something like this:

- ## Daily note
  template:: daily
  template-including-parent:: false
	- up:: placeholder
	- **A quote to think about**:
		- {{renderer :interstitial, random, "quote" }}
	- **Note self**:
		- {{renderer :interstitial, yesterday, "NTNDS" }}
	- ## End of day checklist đź“ť
		- TODO Write ntnds here:
			- Don't forget to write some encouraging words to your tomorrows self [[ntnds]]
		- TODO Today I learned
	- ## Planning
		- TODO vitamins
		- {{renderer :unfinishedBusiness}}
		- TODO What is todays _frog_?
	- ## Journal
		- **9:00** [[BHighlights]]

(This is a literal copy of my daily template)

If it does run “by hand”, then:

2. Make sure your ?/logseq/config.edn is correct:

 ;; When creating the new journal page, the app will use your template if there is one.
 ;; You only need to input your template name here.
 :default-templates
 {:journals "daily"}

That’s it, this should work.
