Can not copy and paste articles I’ve copied

  • Unknown's avatar

    Can not copy and paste articles I’ve copied which I could paste and edit easily a month ago.
    I cannot verify the posts I have written. When ai try to look -the list days my entries are empty. How do I identify then get rid of all these mistakes?
    This Makes no sense to me At all! I used the old format flawlessly. I just want add new posts to my old format of 1200 blog posts! What is this visual? Do I use code editor? Do I use the block?
    I just got used to that format but now I cannot use it! I try to add text and I get excerpts from a bunch of articles. This is not what I want!! Help! Your support Docs make no sense. I don’t want to start from scratch! I want to add additional full posts to my existing website/blog.

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  • Hi there,

    Can you confirm the URL of the site you need help with? I see you own several.

    Can not copy and paste articles I’ve copied which I could paste and edit easily a month ago.

    Can you give more details on exactly what you’re trying to do, and what happens when you do that?

    What content are you trying to copy, how are you copy-pasting, and where are you trying to paste it to? At what point does things go wrong?

    I cannot verify the posts I have written. When ai try to look -the list days my entries are empty.

    I’m not sure what you mean by verify. Can you please elaborate?

    If the posts list at My Site ->Posts ->All Posts is not loading, try clearing your browser cache. Also check if it loads using a different browser.

    If you mean you’re looking for the classic editor, go to My Site ->Posts, and click the screen options tab top-right of the screen. Select the Classic interface option, and that will take you to the WP-Admin posts screen where you can select the classic editor.

    However, you should note that editor won’t be available indefinitely. That editor was removed from the WordPress software in version 5.0 in 2019, and is only still available because we have the Classic Editor plugin installed for all sites on WordPress.com. Once the community on WordPress.org stops providing support for that plugin, it will no longer be available on WordPress.com either.

    If you prefer the classic editor, I recommend you use the classic block in the block editor instead.

    I try to add text and I get excerpts from a bunch of articles.

    I’m afraid I don’t understand. Can you explain in more detail what you’re trying to do and what’s going wrong here? It would help if you can point to specific posts on your site where the issue occurs.
