Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V postings to my site are suddenly not working?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Pasting something in from Firefox has worked perfectly for many years, now it just refuses to accept Ctrl-V?

    I swopped out my keyboard, assuming I had overworked the Ctrl button, I have lost my cache and cookies – but no success

  • Hi there – when you say this isn’t working, could you provide a little more detail about what’s not working?

    For example, does nothing happen at all? Or does it paste, but something is wrong with the formatting?

    If something is wrong with the formatting, could you share with us an example of this on your site? Perhaps a draft page or post?

    Thanks!

    Hi Dean
    It’s a strange one – I have learned more in the interim.

    The first paste into a table cell works, the second if attempted on a fresh line just does nothing at all, as if there is nothing copied to paste. What I have learrned is that if I paste to the end of an existing para then it does work.

    So now it it merely annoying rather then debilitating. But would welcome eradicating this.

    Any ideas?
    Regards Bob

  • Hi Bob,

    Could you share a link to the post/page you’re working on?

    The site is not yet released publically – all pages are private – so I don’t think I can?

  • Hi there,

    I see there’s a site connected to your WordPress.com account that is using the open-source WordPress software and it’s hosted elsewhere. If that’s the site you’re referring to, then you need to seek help at these forums:
