It doesn't look like your note folder is inside the Vault. See this screenshot from the plugin settigns. Try creating a note folder within your Vault. Make sure its already created before trying to create a literature note.

Nope. Doesn't work. Tried what you suggested. Developer console stays the same. image

Path: C:\Users\Lenovo\Documents\Degree\Year\Trimester\Course\Literature

What is the path to your Vault? That Literature in my example is the path from the Vault root folder. That setting wants a relative path from the Vault root, not an absolute path of the filesystem, like you have. Try leaving that folder entry blank. You should be able to create a note in the root folder.

That worked! Solved! Thanks!
