Web Clipper not working after Wikipedia Interface Update

Clipping Wikipedia articles is important because most frequently wikipedia link is top cited in search engines.

Evernote Web Clipper has stopped working after Major Wikipedia update.

WebClipper needs to know which information is where, because based on this the content is converted into the web clip format embedded into the note. When a site changes its layout, it can create a massive problem. This is the more true for the most popular sites, because EN makes an effort to reproduce them as close to the original as possible.

Contact EN about it via support ticket - they usually need a few weeks to reproduce the changes, and release a new clipper version.

I deleted the duplicate post thread.

Thanks a lot for replying @PinkElephant Really appreciate your insight. I have raised the ticket. Let's see how Evernote responds. Some of my work will be halted for sure.

You can try clipping from mobile. It usually is not as good, but it keeps the content and the URL. You can come back later and use the clipper on the same site, when it works again.

Thanks. Will try it.

If you're still having issues,  seems like there's another happy camper over here...

Well Thanks but it is not about the Chrome version. Wikipedia articles such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_system are not clipping after the Major Wikipedia Update. Evernote team was able to reproduce the problem and have confirmed it.

Check the version of your web clipper as it updated yesterday/today.

My version is 7.30.0.449 and I can clip that page fine.

I'm on Edge Clipper v29 which has the new Tasks option - I understand Firefox is also on that version,  while others have got 7.30.  In my case I'd confirm that even the new clipper still doesn't work on that page (or at least mine won't load).  I can only suggest you find an alternative way to copy the page,  or talk to Support again...  If you do find a way around this,  please let us know!

Solution for Edge until the ostensibly working v30 is available for it.  Open evernote on web, create note, perform a "select all" on wikipedia page, drag and drop it onto newly created note.  Keep calm and carry on, until such time as v30 is available for Edge. Then clip every single Wikipedia page. That'll show 'em.

I upgraded Edge to v30 through the Chrome store.
