Troubleshooting the web clipper service
The web clipper extension and the Joplin application communicates via a service, which is started by the Joplin desktop app.
However certain things can interfer with this service and prevent it from being accessible or from starting. If something does not work, check the following:
-
Check that the service is started. You can check this in the Web clipper options in the desktop app.
-
Check that the port used by the service is not blocked by a firewall. You can find the port number in the Web clipper options in the desktop Joplin application.
-
Check that no proxy is running on the machine, or make sure that the requests from the web clipper service are filtered and allowed. For example https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/561#issuecomment-392220191
If none of this work, please report it on the forum or GitHub issue tracker
