TL;DR

The error "Unknown memory embedding provider: ollama" suggests that the ollama provider is not recognized in OpenClaw version 2026.4.5, which may be due to a change or removal of the provider in this version.

Guidance

Check the OpenClaw documentation: Verify if the ollama provider is still supported in version 2026.4.5 and if there are any specific configuration requirements.
Review the configuration file: Ensure that the memorySearch configuration is correct and that the provider field is set to a valid value.
Try a different provider: If the ollama provider is no longer supported, try using a different provider to see if the issue is specific to ollama.
Downgrade to a previous version: If the issue is specific to version 2026.4.5, try downgrading to a previous version where the ollama provider was working.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue seems to be related to a configuration or versioning problem rather than a code error.

Notes

The issue may be related to a change in the OpenClaw API or a removal of the ollama provider in version 2026.4.5. Without more information about the changes in this version, it's difficult to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by trying a different provider or downgrading to a previous version of OpenClaw where the ollama provider was working, as the ollama provider seems to be no longer supported in version 2026.4.5.
