Jim Butler 0 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I have been using Evernote in my Chrome browser for several years to clip articles from the on various business topics. I have many hundreds of such articles. In the past month or 2, it seems that Evernote is no longer able to clip the articles on many of my most important sites. The screen changes as if it is in the process of clipping the article, but then nothing is copied and Evernote does not have the article. Repeating the process does not help. Rebooting the computer does not help. Our websites intentionally doing something that prevents Evernote from clipping? Is there any fix or workaround for this?

Level 5* jefito 5,589 Posted July 19, 2017 Level 5* Share Posted July 19, 2017 It would help if you posted some examples of sites you are having problems with, and what operating system/version you are using. Link to comment
Dawn Bauman 1 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I am having the same problem, using Safari browser, IMac Sierra, updated Evernote to latest version ~ it won't clip anything for me ~ just gives a little sound like it is working. Link to comment

VBG 0 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 The web clipper on Safari is no longer clipping articles for me. I have encountered this problem with Amazon.com, Tcrecord.org, newyorker.com, and many others. The floating description of the clipper when I hover over it is "Sign into Web Clipper" even when used multiple times so it should be signed in already. I use Safari Version 10.1.2 (12603.3.8) on a machine running Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6. Link to comment
nhubbard6 0 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I am having the same problem, specifically when it comes to clipping from The Economist. When I try to save an article to Evernote from the Economist Android app, I get the attached "Clipping..." screen in Evernote, but the article never comes through. The iOS app is slightly better, in that it clips the title and subtitle, but no actual content (see attached). I am a subscriber so that should not be an issue. Clipping from the Economist website using Evernote web clipper works just fine, it is the mobile versions that appear to be blocked/failing! Link to comment

bobertperd 0 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I have started seeing a problem with clipping a number of web sites. I attribute it to web sites intentionally defeating clippers. See http://www.macworld.com/article/3218646/data-center-cloud/how-to-move-from-crashplan-for-home-to-another-backup-solution.html or anything else on MacWorld for one example. There are many others. My question is what can be done about it when using the Evernote Web Clipper? Link to comment

Nomadic 9 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Reporting a similar problem . . . The web clipper used to beautifully clip items from YouTube with a specially designated option just for clipping there. Now it is gone. When I clip on YouTube page now, it shows an image of "Up Next", not the relevant current video. Using Chrome. Link to comment
Guitarcase 0 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I'm having the same problem with clipping from mobile apps. I will have to discontinue my paid subscription if this is not fixed as it is my main use case for EN. Link to comment

Sandra E. 0 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I am having a similar problem -- the new clipper (I use Chrome on my Mac) gives three options: Clip full screen (which only shows what's actually on my small screen); clip rectangle or window (same thing? except you can go smaller if you want); or "start or stop recording audio." I can also click the gear icon for settings, and there's a choice: "Save to Evernote," but it does absolutely nothing at all, so I'm not sure what it's for. What I want is articles. My concern is if i'm not on wifi, I can't just click links. I could do that with bookmarks. What's the point of Evernote if that's the case? I've had Evernote for several years myself, but as it is now, it's got about 10% of the appeal. I can't imagine anybody keeping Evernote if you can't clip articles any more. Seriously, if all I want is to type notes to myself, great. But I have NO interest in ever clipping links. Why couldn't I just copy them and have them on a document in Word? That would be just as useful. Also, the elephant icon only shows up on the top Chrome menu bar. I could swear it was on the address bar before. I'm not sure what I would take screen shots of for the moderator, since what I want is NOT available. I have tried many websites, and the options don't change. It's a whole new little menu.

Oscart 0 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I have similar problem and even worse. Clipper in Chrome is completely blocking the webshop that is developed by our Company. Chrome Version 65.0.3325.181 (Official Build) (64-bit) Clipper Version: 7.0.2.293 Sample web site: https://teurosales.myprintdesk.net/DSF Getting a blank page, only the background image is loaded.

Oscart 0 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Hi jefito, Yes it is a public page, you have to disable evernote in chrome or use a different browser. This is exactly the issue that the plugin is blocking the page from loading correctly. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,524 Posted April 10, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted April 10, 2018 Hmmn. Same-ish for me. I get Koalas and Penguins in Firefox, a blank screen in Chrome. If I disable the Evernote extension in Chrome, the Koalas come out to play. Looks like a conflict, certainly. We're (mainly) users here though, so for direct feedback go to https://www.evernote.com/SupportLogin.action if you're a subscriber, Twitter - https://twitter.com/evernotehelps if not. Evernote also have some Contact Us options on the website which might be relevant... Link to comment
kd01 3 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I'm still seeing this problem on pages like this one from MSN https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/italy-gets-western-europes-1st-populist-govt-on-second-try/ar-AAy3ezL. (By "this problem", I mean the Evernote web clipper not clipping; some of the posters above are talking about pages not loading; this page loads just fine, but the clipper doesn't work.) I uninstalled and reinstalled the web clipper, but the problem remains. When I click it, I just get a green border around the page as if the clipper were going to start, but the dialog box never appears and I am unable to clip it. I've noticed this with several sites, not just msn. I've tried quitting and reopening Chrome as well, but to no avail.

Guest Firefox too Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I am having the same problem with Firefox, up until a few months ago I had no problems, then it started coming up page need to be refreshed, try again. I thought it might just be random pages, but I have found it will not clip any pdf at all. No matter where or how long. One page or many, doesn't seem to matter . I don't clip a lot of pdf's most of stuff I clip is pictures or articles, but this is becoming annoying. Will not let me clip a screen shot of page of pdf, comes up with same thing, page needs reloading, please try again. Link to comment

Sadly I'm on Fx61 64bit and have never had major problems clipping on this or any other previous version.

Mike the human 1 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Hey, Evernote Staff, it's 2019, this problem is still frequent. Do you have any plans to fix it, or is the idea that we're supposed to keep paying you for software that doesn't work? Link to comment

CMSols 1 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Here is an example that behaves exactly as noted by Seisgo (above). https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1280039/L1-Cache-Lines Chrome (PC): Version 72.0.3626.121 (Official Build) (64-bit) This appears to happen on EVERY CodeProject page.

CMSols 1 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 The "is it worth it" was rhetorical. I'll decide that on an on-going basis. My real question was "Several people are experiencing this problem. I see no response for 11 days - and counting. Why no response from Evernote Support, particularly since I consider myself to paying for that support?" DTLow: When you say "any website", does that explicitly mean that you tested websites from the domain https://www.codeproject.com? If so, please let me know. If not, then I'll assume (as I do now) that there is a problem with Evernote supporting something about that website. Link to comment

CMSols 1 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Thanks for checking. I'm not sure what the difference is, but it is real. The following is the behavior I get when trying to use the clipping functionality in Chrome. The green border is obviously part of Evernote Web Clipper but the dialog to actually perform the clip never appears. This appears to be the case for all pages under the 'codeproject.com' domain, but is not a problem for other web pages. I have now filed this as support ticket #2810055. Hopefully we'll get some attention from Evernote support. Link to comment

CMSols 1 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I have been working with Evernote support. After some detailed investigation with a few different people, I think we have an answer. For some reason, AdBlocker is now interfering with the Evernote Web Clipper. If I "whitelist" https://www.codeproject.com then Evernote Web Clipper works. I'm hoping for a deeper resolution to this (perhaps the ability to "whitelist" something about Evernote Web Clipper?) but at the very least this feels like solid progress. Thanks, Evernote Support! 1 Link to comment
greenflash16 0 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 1) I use safari...whatever is the latest version... and admit to being pretty clueless re: computers .I liked Evernote because it was easy. There were a few websites CN Traveler, Real Simple where I could not clip but thought they were the ones blocking my ability to clip articles not the evernote program. . Now, EVERY website when I attempt to clip something the evernote box appears, says it is clipping the article then asks if I would like to view. To test I try to go to the article but there is only a blank screen. I then use "search" in evernote but the article is not there. 2) I bought Evernote premium but if I try to share an article with friends that only have the free version they cannot open the article.Recent problem. I'm very concerned as have many health related articles that I would not know how to move to another program. Link to comment

That's the list that's being suggested. Add the link above and that may help... Link to comment
