When I try to make a post on a forum thread, it'll let me type what I want but if I need to copy and paste a whole post I did on google docs and transfer it to the thread, it won't paste anything. It isn't just me, anyone whos a member on the site can't copy and paste into the threads.
To see this working, head to your live site.

Same here, yesterday it worked, today only works if you paste as plain text.
Seems to be true here too so it's something in the underlying Wix Forum code.
And they fixed it. Thanks Wix
Not fixed for me
I had the same exact problem on my site yesterday and its fixed today. I really appreciate how the devs made sure it got fixed asap.
The same thing has been happening for me, @Gricel ... works sometimes, but then the bug reappears again. It is definitely Wix (the only sites it is happening on for me). I have had it happen here in this forum as well. @John Cooper is it a continued “copy & paste working” for you? ... or does the problem come back?
@Domas Sabockis @Greta Galubauskaitė @Vytenis Butkevičius
Just to give more info on this bug: Pasting into a title of a post works, but pasting into the body of a post does nothing and pasting into a comment or reply on a post does nothing. If I try to paste into a comment or reply, the entire post disappears altogether (leaving only the other things I have on the page, like Recent Posts, navigation, etc.) HELP please!
I am also getting constant page time-outs (if that helps track down the he bug) where all links on Wix forums freeze (including this forum itself), as well as security issues as follows (where I can’t get on my sites as all — only happening with Wix sites): (Shown: Safari, Brave and Chrome)
Its been working fine for me since they fixed it. The only issues i have still are deleting and blocking spammers. My sweet @Greta Galubauskaitė updated me that it was fixed but the issue must have came back, but I trust her. Shes the sweetest person in this whole wide world. But yeah. My forum is good now on Copy & paste
Those that have pasting issues: what exactly are you pasting? Seems like this issue depends on text being pasted, works for some, doesn't work for other.
Multiple things. Originated for me writing a long opinion post, inside the forum post tool, that included quoted text, bold text, hyperlinks and one online image.
I clicked publish and nothing happened. Waited 10 minutes, tried again and nothing happened. I then opened a new window and created a new forum post and tried to copy from Wix to Wix - if anything would go smoothly and preserve formatting, it should be that scenario. Instead, nothing happened. PASTE, PASTE, PASTE, nothing. Eventually I tried paste as plain text and the text appeared, minus formatting of course. I pressed publish and still nothing. I tried to do another new post with the word test and it successfully posted. I then tried to edit that successful post and copy in the original text and the same issues, including not being able to publish.
I then started trying in multiple devices and with multiple accounts and nothing has worked.
@Cam Papermaker I would need real text with which I can replicate the issue.
@Vytenis Butkevičius — basically the same thing for me that @Cam Papermaker described in their detailed reply. Sometimes I can paste a small amount of text if I do what Cam described, create a post with “test” in it, Publish and then click Edit — but if I paste more than a few lines of text into the edit, the forum app portion of the page disappears altogether and all that is left is my nav menu and the “Recent Posts” app on the page.
What happens if I write a long body of text in the text box directly is the page times out and the clicking Publish just causes it to hang forever and never publish.
