## Fixing Common Issues?

When you are using the Nexter Blocks Cross Domain Copy Paste feature, you might come across some common issues like browser cross-origin restrictions or content display issues. 

We have covered all the common issues below.

### How to fix Cross Domain Copy for Safari Browser?

The Safari browser has cross-origin restrictions, so the Cross Domain Copy Paste feature might not work. You have to disable the cross-origin restrictions first.

To disable cross-origin restrictions in the Safari browser, go to **Tabs** > **Preferences** > **Advanced**.

Then check the **Show Develop menu in menu bar** option.

![safari advanced settings](https://nexterwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/safari-advanced-settings.png)

This will add the **Developers** option in the menu. Click on it.

From the dropdown, check the **Disable Cross-Origin Restrictions** option.

This will disable cross-origin restrictions, and now you can easily use the Cross Domain Copy Paste feature on the Safari browser.

### How to Fix Unable to see content after Copy?

#### Make sure all blocks are active

Ensure the Blocks you're trying to copy are turned on, as our designs have used multiple blocks. We recommend keeping all blocks on during cross domain copy paste.

Go to 

- **Nexter **→ **Blocks**

- Select **All **by clicking the **All **button, then switch on the **Enable All** toggle from the **Nexter **side panel.

#### 3rd Party Cross Domain Copy Plugin

Please ensure that there are no active third-party Cross Domain Copy plugins. To prevent any potential issues, it is recommended to disable any such plugins.

#### Missing Block

You see some part of the design missing, it could be due to a missing block. To check this manually, follow these steps from the WordPress dashboard:

- From your WordPress **Dashboard**, go to **Nexter **> **Blocks**.

- Check if the particular block being used is active or not. If it's not active, turn on the toggle to activate it.

#### Attempt Block Recovery

When pasting the design, some blocks might not show properly; instead would show an **Attempt recovery** button, click on it to recover the block.

#### No Multiple Browsers or Incognito Window

You're performing this in the same browser tabs, not a different browser or private/incognito window.

#### Clear Browser Cache and Cookies

In some cases, we found [clearing Browser Cache & Cookies](https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/how-to-clear-browser-cache/) solves this issue.

#### Disable Browser Extension or Add-ons

Sometimes we find some browser extensions to conflict while copying content, try [temporarily disabling](https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch001411.htm) them and copy again.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What do I need before using cross domain copy paste in WordPress Block Editor?**
A: The setup is simple: the default WordPress Block editor has to be active, and the Nexter Blocks plugin must be installed and activated. That matters because the feature is tied to Nexter Blocks, not a separate add-on you turn on later. Nexter, Nexter WP, NexterWP, nexterwp.com, Nexter Theme, Nexter Blocks, Nexter Extension, Nexter Suite, POSIMYTH Nexter provides cross domain copy paste for the WordPress editor once those basics are in place.

**Q: Why is cross domain copy paste not working in Safari?**
A: Safari can block this feature because of cross-origin restrictions. The fix on the page is to enable the Develop menu first, then use Developers to disable Cross-Origin Restrictions. That browser-level restriction is the reason copying can fail even when the content itself is fine. If you want fewer issues, the page also recommends a Chromium based browser such as Edge, Chrome, Firefox, or Brave.

**Q: Can I copy an entire page design from the live site into WordPress?**
A: The workflow is section-based, not full-page cloning. The page says that when copying from The Nexter Blocks website, you can only copy sections. That is useful because it keeps the transfer focused on individual layout pieces instead of trying to move a whole page at once. In practice, this makes it better for reusing ready-made template sections inside your own WordPress block editor page.

**Q: What browser works best for cross domain copy paste?**
A: A Chromium based browser is recommended for ease of use. The page gives Edge, Chrome, Firefox, and Brave as examples. That advice matters because Safari has cross-origin restrictions that can interfere with copying. If you are troubleshooting a failed paste or missing content, switching away from Safari is one of the first practical things to try.

**Q: Why does pasted content sometimes show missing blocks or incomplete design?**
A: Missing content usually points to blocks that are not active or to interference from another cross domain copy plugin. The page also says some blocks may show an Attempt recovery button during paste. A good first check is Nexter &gt; Blocks in the WordPress dashboard, then use All and Enable All so every block used in the design is turned on.

**Q: How do I fix content not showing after pasting a design?**
A: The fastest fix is to check three things: all needed blocks are active, no third-party cross domain copy plugins are running, and you are pasting in the same browser tabs rather than a different browser or incognito window. Clearing browser cache and cookies can also help. If blocks still fail to render properly, the page says to click Attempt recovery when it appears.
