Text Blaze Not Working? Common Errors & Fixes

If Text Blaze stops expanding in Chrome, it is usually logged out, out of sync or on an old build. Sign in on the dashboard and reload the extension from the right-click menu.

Text Blaze often fails in Gmail only because of the folder trigger setting. Change the folder's Snippets trigger so it fires after non-space characters, then reload the extension.

The Chrome extension cannot type into Word or desktop Outlook. Install the Text Blaze desktop app for Windows or macOS and make sure it is running.

Chrome blocks extensions inside side panels like Gemini. Use the Text Blaze desktop app and uninstall the Chrome extension.

When a snippet with form fields shows no popup, reinstall the extension. The bug mainly hit multi-monitor setups after Chrome updates.

By default snippets trigger only at the start of a word. Change the folder's Snippets trigger to 'Started and Ended by Word Break' or 'Anywhere'.

Both the Chrome extension and the Mac app are running. In the Mac app Options, set the Chrome-based browser setting to 'Auto disable desktop app in Chrome'.

Commands like {if} and {formtoggle} can add whitespace. Use Text Blaze's whitespace-tidying techniques so only the intended text outputs.

The free plan allows about 20 snippets and 2,500 characters per snippet, and limits forms and sharing. Upgrade to Pro ($2.99/mo yearly) or archive old snippets.

Pro users can cancel by choosing Downgrade to Basic on the account page; Business plans need the organization deleted. If unsure, email support@blaze.today.
