Bricks Version: 1.3.7
I used to be able to copy and paste elements. Not working anymore.
→ Message pops up “Heading Pasted” but it’s not pasted.
See screencast: Dropbox - File Deleted
I have the same problem, but with a small difference.
Worked only 1-2 times and after that only green button appears with success message without really pasting the element.
Hi Eric,
just as a guess as I can’t see the url bar: these are two different installations, right?
The copied element data is stored in localStorage. Copying and pasting local storage between two different sites is blocked by the browser for security reasons.
Copying and pasting between Tabs or Browser Windows within the same site should work fine.
@joachim.auster It depends where you want to paste the element. If it’s a container, it should work. Maybe you’ve tried to paste into another element? Nested elements are currently not supported, maybe that’s why nothing got pasted.

@timmse
I sent you a link to a Loom video on friday via email, please watch it.
Guessing makes no sense at all.
True, but you’ve already received a response from Luis, right? Apart from that you tried to insert a heading into a heading and not into the parent container (instead of the container the heading was selected in the structure panel).
And that is in fact exactly what I guessed above, isn’t it? 
If I use Copy/Paste in Oxygen, I can put the element anywhere.
If I click on a text or headline, the pasted element will pasted BEHIND that element.
To me it makes a lot of sense to do it that way.
I even didnt think about your “rules” of pasting, makes NO sense to me at all.
Maybe you rethink current pasting rules in Bricks.
@timmse No this is the same installation (same site).
I also agree with @joachim.auster that one should be able to select any element when pasting and if the pasted element cannot go inside the target element, it should be pasted after it.
In my case, I am just trying to paste a heading into an empty container, on the same site.
Hi guys,
we’re going to fix this in Bricks 1.3.8 
Guess it’s a moot point by now, but just here to say I’m experiencing this issue too. Oddly enough it worked fine for a while when I was copying various pricing table elements to another page, and suddenly on the third or fourth one it stopped working.
Confirm this bug in general its glitchy. in v 1.5.3
Tested con Chrome and Edge doesn’t works at all…
Tested on Opera its working fine.
Tested without ublock pluging, and checked that the browser copy paste for websites is active.
I dont use opera for main browser but had to for bricks 
Hi Rodrigo,
This bug report refers to Bricks 1.3.7. In the meantime, the whole copy & paste functionality has been reworked. Accordingly, it might be worth a new report.
If so, It is important to show how to reproduce the problem. “Doesn’t work at all” doesn’t help at all 
Best regards,

At least provide a screencast when you are telling this problematic situation.
Any updates on when the copy and paste functionality would be fixed. I am using google chrome to try and copy and paste as product widget I have created on one page onto another. However, this does not work when on http.
Hey Josh,
I am happy to repeat myself again:
“Copy/paste only is only supported for pages served over HTTPS.”
The Clipboard API requires HTTPS - there is nothing we can do about that.
Happy to add a link to the official documentation.
Thank you for repeating yourself again. I did ask for an update of the functionality rather than repeating yourself.
This causes difficulties when trying to develop a new instance of a website which is brand new… When do you aim to be able to copy and paste over http which is common for other builders…
We are aware that we could purchase a domain and create subdomains but this just seems unnecessary when it should surely be build in functionality.
I also did take the time to research the know issues which is the reason I ask for any updates…
Sorry, but I don’t understand your problem with HTTPS. Every website should use SSL encryption nowadays. In principle, a free Let’s encrypt certificate is enough unless you run a store or request sensitive data. Apart from that, it offers advantages in terms of SEO, performance, and most importantly: security.
Long story short: we still can’t do anything about it, because:
As the Clipboard API is only available to Secure Contexts, it cannot be used from a content script running on
http:-pages, onlyhttps:-pages.
It is quite possible that other tools use other techniques where it is also possible to copy back and forth with HTTP. In Bricks, this is not the case, and will not be in the future.
