Cannot Copy/Paste Link or Embed

    Two of my client sites are having issues with pasting either a link or oembed into the visual tab of the classic editor. I can paste plain text but nothing else. In the text/code tab it will paste the content, but when switching back it will not convert the link into embedded content in the editor, however the embed will work properly once the post is previewed or published.

    In the browser developer console the first line says “JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 1.4.1”

    Then I see a number of “The block “with different theme created sections” must have a registered category.”

    and then the following:

    Uncaught TypeError: wp.shortcode is not a constructor
    at Object.shortcode (load-scripts.php:410)
    at n.initialize (load-scripts.php:412)
    at n.b.mce.View (load-scripts.php:412)
    at new n (load-scripts.php:398)
    at Object.createInstance (load-scripts.php:412)

    Sounds like you have a plugin that adds TinyMCE previews for shortcodes and is trying to use the JS wp.shortcode incorrectly. I’m not aware of any changes there in the Classic Editor, but perhaps something was changed.

    Best would be to try and identify that plugin and see if a fix is in the works.

    I had already gone through disabling each plugin one by one to find a potential cause. Disabling none resolved the issue. But also none should have any functionality to add previews of shortcodes.

    I do not believe it to be the theme as I have it installed on other sites on the same server without the issue.

    Hmmm, could you set SCRIPT_DEBUG to true for one of these sites so the errors are a bit more meaningful.

    Also, the errors The block “with different theme created sections” must have a registered category. should be coming from the Block Editor (at block registration), are you seeing them when using the Classic Editor?

    Activating SCRIPT_DEBUG adds the following warnings.

    JQMIGRATE: jQuery.fn.load() is deprecated
    migrateWarn @ jquery-migrate.js:45
    jquery-migrate.js:47 console.trace

    jquery-migrate.js:45 JQMIGRATE: jQuery.fn.size() is deprecated; use the .length property
    migrateWarn @ jquery-migrate.js:45
    jquery-migrate.js:47 console.trace
    migrateWarn @ jquery-migrate.js:47

    I am seeing all those block registrations in the Chrome developer console when using the classic editor. I have tested Gutenberg on another site using this same theme and those blocks do work in that editor.

    My guess would be that a Block Editor (Gutenberg) plugin is trying to load all the JS for it on the “classic” Edit Post screen. Perhaps try to disable any plugins that add Blocks, etc. and see if one is doing that.

    Only three plugins on the site create bocks (Jetpack, Yoast, and the theme’s ad manager). The issue persists with all three plugins deactivated as a group and individually.

    Presuming at this point that this must be a theme issue with the blocks. Will update if cause is found there.

    Yep, it would be great if you could post here when the problem is resolved, thanks.
