Anki connection failure

[rochellekopp]

I have Yomichan installed and set it up to connect with Anki so I could make flashcards from words I look up. I was able to get it to work initially, and a couple times when the connection stopped working I was able to get it working again either by updating Anki or turning off audio playback on Yomichan (something I found googling around). However, the connection has stopped working again and I have run out of ideas on how to fix it.

I'm on a 1-year old Windows 10 computer, running Yomichan on both Firefox and Chrome and having the same problem on both.

Would very much appreciate any suggestions!

Hello everyone. I have now figured out what the problem was. It appears that AnkiConnect only works if you have Anki open on your computer. So I leave Anki open all the time, and AnkiConnect is now working just fine.
