Click and drag to select text – how to enable?

  • Hello, Thank you in advance for considering my question.

    I published a website using the Zeever theme. As an end-user of the website, some blocks of text I can click and drag the cursor to select text (as if I wanted copy the text to paste it elsewhere). But other text blocks I cannot select text.

    I like the effect of allowing to select text because it makes it easier for some users to read without getting lost.

    I remember finding a setting somewhere that enabled/disabled this behavior. I believe it had something to do with protecting the content of your website, so users wouldn’t be able to cmd + c (copy) your text. But for the life of me, I cannot find that setting anymore.

    Does anyone know where that is?

    hi @speedydevguy , do you mean on backend (editor)? or on frontend?

    and which block you mean cannot be selected?

    Hi Agung, thanks for checking it out.

    On the live website for the end user. See https://keepers.team

    It’s not possible to click and drag to select the text that starts with “Say goodbye to the dev shop…”

    Many people have the habit of selecting text while they read, and this gives an unpleasant feeling to those people.

    I’m also having an issue where the accordion block doesn’t open when clicked on as seen on https://keepers.team/faq

    And the main nav menu on mobile (hamburger menu) doesn’t open when clicked on.

    Hi @speedydevguy

    Regarding text cannot be selected, it seems there is issue with css.
    This will be fixed in next Gutenverse plugin update.

    Regarding accordion, the open & close event is using javascript.
    Do you use any caching plugin to minify/caching js?
    That might be the cause.

    Regarding nav menu, might have the same issue like accordion too.
    Try checking your caching plugin setting.

    @yogajegstudio Good call on the minimizing JS plugin issue.

    I deactivated two of them, cleared cache, bam it worked!

    Thank you!

    Hi @speedydevguy

    Glad to hear it worked.
    The select issue will be fixed in the next plugin update.
    But if you need it urgently, you can go to Appearance->Customize->Additional CSS and add this css below : 

    .guten-column-wrapper > :not(.guten-element) { 
    position: relative;
}
