Using it, I get the error that my browswer( Firefox) does not support a direct link to the Clipboard. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-edit/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-edit/) Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * Plugin Author [Josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh401/) * (@josh401) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cut-copy-paste/#post-5061131) * The cut, copy and paste available in the TinyMCE core do not seem to work solidly across all browsers. * It would have to be fixed “upstream”. * Thread Starter [editoronline](https://wordpress.org/support/users/editoronline/) * (@editoronline) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cut-copy-paste/#post-5061146) * It would have to be fixed “upstream”. * What does it mean ?

I have made no attempt to modify these buttons from their original code. * Since the issue relates directly to these buttons; it’s necessary for the issue to be fixed “upstream” (or, at the source); in this case, [TinyMCE Moxiecode](http://www.tinymce.com/). * Here is a link to [TinyMCE’s Support Forum](http://www.tinymce.com/forum/index.php). * Thread Starter [editoronline](https://wordpress.org/support/users/editoronline/) * (@editoronline) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cut-copy-paste/#post-5061184) * Can I trust on it that Josh will solve this problem, coming with an update ? * Plugin Author [Josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh401/) * (@josh401) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cut-copy-paste/#post-5061194) * I’m sorry, I don’t think I’m explaining this very well. * The issue is with TinyMCE core software. I can’t change this from my plugin. I can only extend/modify/enhance what is made available in the core software. * If the core software does not allow for something (or if there is a bug); I simply can’t fix it from a plugin. It would have to be fixed in the core. * I am not part of the Tinymce team. I have no influence, connections or other “ insider” perks. I’m simply an end-user, creating what I can for the WP community. * So to answer your question, regrettably no. It’s not something I can solve with an update. It will have to be solved in the core Tinymce software. * Thread Starter [editoronline](https://wordpress.org/support/users/editoronline/) * (@editoronline) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cut-copy-paste/#post-5061221) * “It will have to be solved in the core Tinymce software.” * Please inform them about this problem. Than it can be solved. * Plugin Author [Josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh401/) * (@josh401) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cut-copy-paste/#post-5061226) * Okay, after some extensive digging: * 1) The TinyMCE devs say this is not a bug on their end (read this, good info): [http://www.tinymce.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=20637](http://www.tinymce.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=20637) * 2) Apparently, it is a setting in Firefox (I’m assuming you are using Firefox), which protects the clipboard security. * 3) I found an article which explains how to re-enable the cut, copy and paste: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Midas/Security_preferences](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Midas/Security_preferences) * You’ll have to know how to access your [Firefox Profile](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Profiles) info. * NOTE: Again, Firefox disables these buttons for security reasons (apparently). The final decision to modify the preferences rests in your hands. * If you DO happen to make this modification; I would LOVE to hear your results 🙂 * Thread Starter [editoronline](https://wordpress.org/support/users/editoronline/) * (@editoronline) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cut-copy-paste/#post-5061235) * I did not succeed to change the pref.js file * Plugin Author [Josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh401/) * (@josh401) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cut-copy-paste/#post-5061244) * Yeah, I played around with it for a bit and wasn’t able to get anything working properly. * I’ll have to dig further… * Plugin Author [Josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh401/) * (@josh401) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cut-copy-paste/#post-5061324) * Sooo…. * I think this is going to be fixed in the WordPress 4.0 update (anticipated September 3rd, 2014). * We shall keep our fingers crossed.. and see if it works 🙂 * Plugin Author [Josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh401/) * (@josh401) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cut-copy-paste/#post-5061337) * This works well for me now.
