Lines appear when I use a boolean on/off toggle in a component

Hi, I hope someone can help with this issue. I have created a component card with a show/hide boolean property for the card description. But when I use the toggle lines appear instead of the text. I have tried putting the description in a nested autolayout but that produces an outline around the autolayout layer instead of the lines representing the text. This has happened before and I got around it but I can’t remember how! Thanks. Images to show the issue attached.

Figma Seat type Full subscription - cancel additional subscriptions quarter

Hello,I assigned a Figma Seat type Full subscription to the Admin account for testing, and then released it the same day. An entry appeared in the Billing tab stating that on October 2, 2025, there will be a charge of around 550 EUR. I currently have 5 annual Full licenses purchased. A quarter ago it was possible to cancel additional subscriptions, and I hope it will be the same this time. I would be grateful for your confirmation.

Better Text Style CSS Export

Does anyone have a good CSS export pipeline for text styles (i.e. plugins, Figma document setup, custom code/scripts)? I’d like to use Figma to export some particular CSS for our web projects, but our designers have tried a number of plugins and the export always seems to leave something to be desired. The two things we’d like to be able to export - before anything else - is variables and text styles.Our variable export pipeline is now usable: we post-process Figma’s output to combine files from the format ‘Variables > Mode > Category.css’ into a single root CSS with a fair number of vars for colours, spacers, and a few other things.But when it comes to Text Styles:the color isn’t output the font weight is outright wrong (always weight 400, when the text style pane has a different weight defined in the ‘Variable’ subpane) uppercase/all-caps isn’t honoured (i.e. text-transform uppercase is not present in the export CSS)We have a setup where we export a number of text styles that b

Why am I unable to use the glass effect in Figma?

I'm having trouble using the glass effect in Figma and I'm not sure what I might be missing. Is there something I might be missing or any common issues to check?I've been trying to apply a glass effect to my designs but it doesn't seem to be working as expected. I'm wondering if:- There are specific requirements for using the glass effect- It might be related to my subscription plan or account type- There are certain conditions that need to be met for it to work properly- It's a known issue that others have experiencedAny guidance or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated!

Do Backlinks From Low-Traffic Sites Still Help SEO?

Hey everyone,I’m still learning the basics of SEO and had a question I couldn’t quite find a clear answer to. If a website gets backlinks from older blogs or sites that don’t get much traffic anymore, do those links still provide value for rankings?I know that high-authority and active sites are usually better, but I’m wondering if a link from a quiet or less-active blog still counts in Google's eyes — even a little bit. Does anyone know how Google views those kinds of links today?

Figma desktop: top toolbar functions not working + localization plugin not applied

问题描述：我最近安装了 Figma 桌面客户端（Windows），遇到了两个问题： 顶部工具栏功能无法使用。点击顶部工具栏的功能（例如“创建组件”、“实用蒙版”、“交换填充和描边”、“编辑对象”、“拟描边”、“展平”）时，它们完全没有反应。例如： 选择图像和投影→单击“使用蒙版”没有任何反应。 点击“创建组件”也没有任何效果，感觉这些功能完全被禁用了。 本地化（中文）无法正常工作我安装了FigmaEX插件，并在设置中启用了“汉化Figma界面”，但界面仍然显示为英文。之前我用同样的方法安装客户端时，界面可以正确切换为中文，但现在无论如何，界面仍然是英文。 预期行为： 顶部工具栏功能应正常工作，例如“重置弥补码”或“创建组件”应在有效条件下生效。 启用本地化插件后，Figma 客户端界面应该显示中文。 附加信息： 系统：Windows Figma客户端版本：最新版本（2025年9月2日安装） 插件：FigmaEX v1.5.49 截图：附件

Figma Make versioning limits

Hi team, we have been prototyping some fairly complex web app concepts, and just wanted to understand what happens as we get into really high version numbers (e.g. up version 95 in the one I am looking at right now) – would like some understanding/reassurance of the limits before we really start orienting our prototyping process around Figma Make.Is there a limit on how many prompts a single file can have? Are there any risks in having a file with very high numbers of versions? I saw another post saying their file stopped being able to iterate at version 900 because of how large the prompt was getting (with all the history). Is there a way to “fork” a new file, and this file effectively restarts at version 0 – I was surprised that duplicating retains all the previous versions.Slightly worried about the usage limits of roughly 80 prompts per month – I could do this in a morning! Are we doing something wrong? I have been very happy with the results (and breaking complex app flows into ve

only 'get code' isn't working while using MCP

It’s not about the loading.It just instantly says “Error: An error occurred while using the tool get_code”.It happens only for ‘get code’. get images, metadata, and all others are working.Both on Cursor and Claude code on Vscode.

Plugin failing with “RuntimeError: memory access out of bounds” in WebAssembly

Hi all, We’ve built a Figma plugin that converts frames into MJML/HTML using a WebAssembly module. On some machines the plugin works fine, but on others (mostly Macs with Apple Silicon) it crashes part-way through with this error:  What happens: Some components (usually text) render successfully. As soon as the plugin hits a problematic component, it throws the error and everything after that fails to generate. The issue isn’t consistent — some users/accounts never see it, while others hit it frequently.  What we’ve tried: Clearing Figma caches and reinstalling the desktop app. Testing on multiple accounts and machines. Disabling Cloudflare/WAF rules on our API. The problem still persists.  Impact:Users can’t reliably export frames — exports stop midway and produce incomplete output. Suspected cause:It looks like the WASM module is running out of memory or hitting a bug with certain text inputs. The error consistently comes from the WASM runtime. Has anyone run into this befo

Figma links are breaking on merging

We wrote stories and linked it to figma components(via copy link to selection cmd+L) within the stories. We then did branching and started rolling out incremental updates, but now on merging a branch, the pasted Figma links are taking the users to a cover page and not the component.Is this normal? How do you work when the components are getting incremental updates?

[Bug] Whyte font is missing from Slides template

This is just a bug report (if this belongs somewhere else happy to submit this there) The Mobile Product Review Slides template uses Whyte as the title font but that’s unavailable for most users. I’ve been using IBM Plex Serif as a replacement, but anyway, worth changing so users don’t run into this bug in the future.

Is it possible to change a component state after clicking on another component?

Hi, I have a side panel with buttons, and when clicking on one of the categories, the main screen slides to the correct categories. This works great. The buttons are in variant components with three states (default, hover, and selected). When I click on the button, I have two interactions set up in the prototype: ‘scroll to’ (to scroll to the section) ‘change to’ : state = selected My issue is that I want the button to go back to the default state when I click on another one. Is there a way to do that? (for now, they all become selected when I click one after the other). Thank you in advance, Anaïs

Request for Refund of Unused Subscription

Hello Figma Support Team,I recently noticed that my subscription has been renewed, but unfortunately, I have not been using Figma for the past year. I even hardly remembered the login credentials for my account, which shows that I have not accessed the service at all.Since I have not used the service during this time, I would like to kindly ask if it would be possible to receive a refund for the latest charge, and I will make sure to cancel my subscription to avoid future renewals.Thank you for your understanding and support. I really appreciate your help.Best regards,Chonpeeti

How do I turn this off??!!! (pink adjust auto layout spacing).

This auto-layout frame is a child/inside a basic frame that I should be able to move things around in.  How the heck do I turn this off when I hover over to click and drag. all I want to do is drag the group/autolayout over a bit manually and arrows in this small space are producing too large of a move. this comes up for me a ton and it’s insanely annoying. I can’t click and drag without it also changing the auto layout spacing.  if I want to change that I will go to the tool sidebar and do it myself.  I don’t need this pink stuff trying to do it for me just because i’ve hovered over it.Also, FYI - I couldn’t even screengrab it through the OS, because this literally happens on hover, so I snapped it with my phone - hence the bad photo, apologies.
