Copy and Pasting using Classic editor instead of gutenberg block

  • Hi guys,

    I never had this issue before but suddenly today when i copy and paste some text some Google docs to the wordpress gutenberg editor, it suddenly becomes a classic block instead of the normal gutenberg heading/paragraph blocks.

    Do help.

  • Hi @brendanaw Can you just use heading or paragraph block in gutenberg editor as per the copied content and let me know if the issue still persists.

    Hi alithewpdev,

    Only some of them can be converted to the heading or paragraph block. However, if I were to transfer an entire article from google docs to WordPress, it will take too long to convert each one to a heading/paragraph block.

    Is it a bug on WordPress?

    Actually no. When you just copy from the doc and paste it into the paragraph/heading, it will also paste the styling, got it from the doc. So to prevent this, you have to copy from doc and paste it into notepad first then again copy and paste it into the WP paragraph/heading.

    Hope this help. Please let me know if you have any questions.
