I'm using Tiddlywiki with Noteself for automatic saving in addition to a few other plugins. When I save the wiki's HTML file to a USB and use it to open the HTML on a different device, some of the tiddlers act strangely. When opening these tiddlers, a pop-up window appears with the title:

syncer-browser- 18:37:48 1 7 2020

and with text that says

Sync error while processing 'foo':{"status":404,"name":"not_found","message":"missing","reason":"missing"}

All the tiddler's body text is gone, but its title and tags are still there. This also happens when I save the HTML file to Dropbox and try to download and open it on the other device.

The pop-up only appears when trying to open the affected tiddler for the first time on the new device. One every subsequent time, the tiddler just opens with no body text.

I believe the problem is caused by Noteself because the pop-up window mentions syncing, but I'm not certain. Here is a list of the plugins I'm using:

  • Context search - provides visual highlight of search results

  • Editor with some on-line completion capabilities

  • Fullscreen Editor

  • Highlight.js syntax highlighting

  • Plugin containing specific configurations for the online version of NoteSelf

  • Relink - flexibility when relinking renamed tiddlers

  • Stories - Add a second column to a TiddlyWiki layout using the default layout

  • The Pounchdb library as a TW5 plugin.

  • tiddlypounch for TiddlyWiki

I tried disabling the plugins one by one, but doing this doesn't seem to actually change anything about the wiki.

I've also encrypted the wiki with TiddlyWiki's built-in encryption.

I use Tiddlywiki version 5.1.22

This happened while attempting to transfer my wiki from a desktop running Windows 10 to a laptop running Windows 7. I am using Chrome.

Why is this happening, and what is the solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I know I'm late to the party here, but are you using lazy tiddler loading? It has a few issues that can cause tiddler bodies be deleted.
