is it a conflict with counsel-mode

[dolmens]

(use-package counsel
  :diminish ivy-mode counsel-mode
  :init
   ;; here is ok
  ;; (counsel-mode)
  :bind (("C-s" . swiper-isearch)
         :map ivy-minibuffer-map
         ("RET" . ivy-alt-done)
         ("C-j" . ivy-immediate-done))
  :config
  (ivy-mode)
  ;; and here is not
  (counsel-mode)
  )

(use-package ivy-rich
  :after ivy
  :init
  (setq ivy-rich-path-style 'abbrev)
  :config
  (ivy-rich-mode))

cannot use ivy-rich to switch buffer. but if i move the counsel-mode to :init section then all are ok. i don't know why.
and this is my full init.el:

(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "lisp" user-emacs-directory))

(require 'package)

;; Package Manager Settings
;;
;; add MELPA to the package archive
(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") t)


(package-initialize)

;; update the package metadata when missing
(unless package-archive-contents
  (package-refresh-contents))

;; install use-package - https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package
(unless (package-installed-p 'use-package)
  (package-install 'use-package))

(require 'use-package)
(setq use-package-always-ensure t)

;; Not enabled
(use-package auto-package-update)

;; Required by `use-package
(use-package diminish)
(use-package bind-key)

(let ((default-directory  "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/"))
        (normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path))


(use-package counsel
  :diminish ivy-mode counsel-mode
  :init
   ;; here is ok
  (counsel-mode)
  :bind (("C-s" . swiper-isearch)
         :map ivy-minibuffer-map
         ("RET" . ivy-alt-done)
         ("C-j" . ivy-immediate-done))
  :config
  (ivy-mode)
  ;; and here is not
  ;; (counsel-mode)
  )

(use-package ivy-rich
  :after ivy
  :init
  (setq ivy-rich-path-style 'abbrev)
  :config
  (ivy-rich-mode))

Hi, please try something like

(use-package counsel
  :hook (after-init . counsel-mode)
  :diminish ivy-mode counsel-mode
  :bind (("C-s" . swiper-isearch)
         :map ivy-minibuffer-map
         ("RET" . ivy-alt-done)
         ("C-j" . ivy-immediate-done)))

(use-package ivy
  :hook (after-init . ivy-mode))

(use-package ivy-rich
  :after (ivy counsel)
  :init (setq ivy-rich-path-style 'abbrev)
  :config (ivy-rich-mode))

ivy-rich should be loaded after both ivy and counsel. I will make it a bit clearer in the README.

Solved. Thanks.
