uk1000 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Wow, how am I supposed to “get creative” if I’m not even allowed to type properly. At first I was excited but it’s starting to seem like this site could use some serious reworking.You can use all normal ASCII characters, and normal punctuation marks in the description. You can use a-z, -, +, ?,",’,$,£, commas etc. including some non-standard ones, it’s just there are certain characters you can’t use and like was suggested, using notepad to copy and paste from should help get rid of any characters Fiverr doesn’t support for gig descriptions. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t even use comma’s or periods. Literally nothing. Even the tab button is apparently risque. I eventually got it to work by just removing everything. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shopify_shihab Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 A few days ago I faced the same problem. even though I never use any special character or symbol in my description. finally, I solve it & how…?this problem is getting when we do copy-paste any content from the .txt file. during paste any content to gig description we have to use short-key (shift+Ctrl & V). Also, have to take extra care during “Bold & Highlighting” any text after copy from the .txt file.Hope you got the points… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janathdev Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Hi there,There are no such restrictions. It can be a bug in the system. Best way is to copy all text to notepad and past one paragraph at a time. Before that refresh the page. Then delete everything in the description before start. Then save each time you paste the paragraphs.Thanks. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_alvarez_g Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Hi Amir, I fixed that problem by erasing all the line “line breaks” in the text (everytime you click the Enter button a new line break is created). I don’t know why but it seems like the Gig descriptions needs to be made in a single paragraph. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
