Copy Pasting on Editor Not Working Properly

  • Hi,

    Please bear with me, I’m new to this. So I have been making sure everything is good by creating my site on local first before I purchase my hosting.

    Just a few hours ago, I finally bought hosting and domain. All I did was migrate the whole site using WPVivid. But now, when I paste my content from Word, it pastes into one paragraph block, instead of multiple blocks. This breaks my formatting.

    I went back to the local copy of my website. And I am still able to copy paste normally. But I can’t copy the blocks from my localWP to my onlineWP. How can I fix this please?

    Currently, my workaround is to copy from Word > paste on local WordPress > switch to Code Editor and copy content > paste to the Code Editor of my online WordPress. But as you can see, it’s too many steps for one post. I would appreciate any help.

    Thank you.

    Okay, I found one workaround so that I wouldn’t have to keep changing tabs. I turned off Gutenberg Editor just for the posts. I just hope I can go back to the editor because I am more used to it.

    You are able to paste Word content into your local installation (using Gutenberg I assume) and the content appears as individual paragraph blocks, correct? But in your hosted installation, pasted Word content all ends up in a single paragraph block? Your local experience is as it should be. Aside from the host, what’s different about the hosted installation? Different theme, different plugins?

    Do you get different behavior when pasting the exact same content into each site? It’s conceivable that content from different sources could behave differently, but the exact same content should behave the same on each site.

    As a test, try switching to one of the default Twenty* themes and deactivating all plugins. You should now observe expected behavior of separate paragraph blocks. Restore your normal theme and plugins, one at a time, testing after each. When the trouble returns, the last activated module would be the cause.
