Hello,

I am using Local on Mac (OS 15.3). The theme I use is Bricksbuilder. I would like to copy some le elements of the structure, but I face an error. It says: Error: Your browser does not support the Clipboard API.

This is indeed not a problem of the browser, since I can do this when I do it on a live site, but not on my local machine. Is there something I missed when installing LocalWP ?

Thanks,  
Philippe

Hi, @Philbu!

It sounds like Bricks is detecting the Clipboard API feature incorrectly — as a browser API it should not depend on the hosting environment, only your browser.

Another Bricks user ran into this here (but got no reply):

Perhaps you could try reporting this to the Bricks team under “bug report” at [Contact – Bricks](https://bricksbuilder.io/contact/).

Hi @nickc  
Thanks for your answer. This was indeed not a bug with Bricks, but a problem with creating the certificate for the local site.  
Best,  
Philippe
