Thank you for testing. There is another thread where someone has the
same problem. It seems that for item templates one has to give the full
path.

I was probably to quick by changing ‘item’ to ‘entry’.

I tried your template once again. And it turned out that the file must be 
existent.

("c" "capture CWN through org protocol" item (file 
"~/org/notes.org")
"- %?%:description\n  %:link\n\n")

Does work for me. So giving a path to file might help.

That was caused by using “C”, wasn’t it?

Kind regards

Unfortunately I need an item. It used to work, unfortunately it no
longer does.

Thank you for the suggestion. I changed it and it did not fix it.

Best,

Try to use ‘entry’ instead of ‘item’

 ("C" "capture CWN through org protocol" entry (file "next-cwn.org")
  "- %?%:description\n  %:link\n\n")

“C” is usually bound to “Customise org-capture-templates”. Probably it’s better 
to choose another key.

In the next step you will probably get an error:  org-capture: Capture template 
‘i’: Template is not a valid Org entry or tree

To avoid that make the entry a tree:

 (“c" "capture CWN through org protocol" entry (file "next-cwn.org")
  “* %?%:description\n  %:link\n\n")
