Is anyone else having issues with pasting sources? I haven't been able to do it for a couple days.

Which profile?

Often this is related to mismatched ref tags or ref tags used under the sources section.

I can't copy and paste in the edit section.  I keep trying to add a source, then the cursor jumps and won't let me do it
? a Mac thing.  No issues on my PC

Hi Ellen. On your Mac where the problem occurs, are you using the WikiTree Browser Extension? If so, try turning off the option

Edit Profile > Change Summary Options > Show the options and save button in the right-hand column

This option is described at

Thanks   Will give that a try
I must be brain dead.  Don't understand what I am supposed to do.
Ellen, first can you confirm if you are using WBE (the WikiTree Browser Extension)? If you are, then when you are viewing a WikiTree page, there should be a WikiTree icon (white tree on gold background) in the URL field at the top of your browser. Click on that icon to get to where you can set WBE options.
I turned off the extension, and now it works.
