I discovered an issue with components. Looks like when you create a NEW component but name it the same name of an older component, THEN delete the older component and want to publish/push the new component, it does not show up in your other design docs. Only when i renamed the new component to something like (componentname V2), republish your design library, then it would correctly show up in the new design docs as a valid replacement to the newly deleted component.What i expected to happen is when i deleted the original, old component and published with the new component, the instances would then update automatically. 

Figma MCP Server currently only binds to 127.0.0.1 which makes it unable to listen on any other interface. WSL creates a virtual interface, to which the MCP Server must be able to listen, or Claude Code cannot connect to the MCP Server. Long story short, you need to make the MCP Server configurable.  As it is now, it’s useless for Claude Code users on Windows.

I have been trying to get a simple Paypal Shopping cart setup with a simple admin and a simple storefront.I’ve been a web dev cobbler for 27 years. Seen it all, so please don’t consdescend when replying.The Figma Thing seems to be optimized for React and I have to babysit and tell it how to port the app to PHP.  You have short-sheeted the php side in favor of react and it's f u c k i n g killing my ability to get anything done.I will probably not be here next month as you give some "we we decided ...." .. or "we dont think ... " response, or “the interns writing all this are out getting participation trophies so they don’t really have time to look into it, good luck we wish the best on your future endeavors” - stuff I have heard from corporate drones since 1983 when I first got into this business, so save it for the children who write your apps.Turn after turn of repeat code that is not actually fixed. Then insult me with “100% Operational” when it is not.Stupid apologetics and “WOW I

 I’m trying to use Figma Buzz to create some templates. We have an icon library that uses a swap instance property within the component to swap out the icon as well as a property to define the size of the icon. As you can see in the image, it is only showing that first property of size of the icon and doesn’t let me switch out the actual icon with the instance swap. Is this a bug or limitation? If I click one more time it does show me my nested instance property where I can turn on the fill of the icon, but I don’t see how to access all the icons through the instance swap property we have on the component.This image shows the replacements it’s offering me, which is to only change the size of the icon.This image shows our original component we have size properties to define the size of the icon, and then an instance swap to choose the actual icon. Are we doing this wrong for this to be useful in Figma Buzz. Why can’t we see this other property in Figma Buzz?  

Dear all, am I mistaken, or is it really not possible in Figma to define a font color for a font style?That's a basic feature. Why isn't it possible?Or is it possible after all?

I’m experiencing an issue with an instance swap property in Figma. I have a Card component with Auto-layout (width: fixed, and height: hug). It wraps an instance of a component associated with an instance swap property (width: fill and height: hug). When I create an instance of Card and change the inner instance through the instance property it works fine the first time. From there, if I change it again, Figma sets the height of the inner instance to fixed. This crops the content. Does anyone knows why this happens and how to fix it? Is it a bug in Figma?

Hi, i usually exported a full page to a presentation deck so i can discuss it with my client, until yesterday they notice and thought that i designed an awkward outline, and then i realize, most of the figma export if i zoom in carefully have this kind of outline, i think it is a bug, if not do you guys have a solution besides exporting it in SVG? (look at the left side of thebook + bottom side of the calendar) 

Need way to use same component library across projects with different color schemesDescription:I’ve built a component library file in Figma that includes buttons, inputs, cards, labels, etc. This library will be used in multiple upcoming projects.The goal is simple:Use the same components from the shared library in all projects, but apply a different color scheme (branding) for each project — e.g., Project A → Red theme Project B → Green theme Project C → Blue theme ...and so on. I built the entire component library using variables (for colors) and published it. However, when I add the library to another project file, the variables are not accessible or tweakable there.Note: I’m not talking about variable modes, since I’ll have 10+ projects with completely different brand colors.What I need:A workflow that lets me: Use the same published components from the library in every project. Change their colors (branding) per project easily. Keep the link to the main library so future u

Hi, I connected Figma with ChatGPT and vice versa. However when ChatGPT try to call to Figma it got this error “Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'result')” Anyone encounter this issue?

Once having a multiple selection I used to drag select from outside to deselect the items I did not want in my selection. This was specifically useful for me and now that it’s gone I spend much more time clicking individual items to deselect, and in some cases that’s not actually doable to do having too many items involved. This decision is making the tool worse than it was. Is this a bug or a permanent decision?

I just updated Figma today, and for some reason. in some frames that I work in I cant Drag select the objects anymore. None of them are locked and I can still click select them one by one.in other frames I can sometimes still drag select.If I rebuild the ‘broke frame’ in a new frame it becomes broken aswell. here is a video of the issue*Edit*There is a Huge Section just above these frames, when I zoom out more, I can select again.when the frame is too close to the section and zoomed in very close. issue happens againWhen moving the Fram further away from the frame everything works again  

Hi, I was previously using the Figma Education Plan. After Figma updated its verification process, I noticed that China is no longer listed as an available location. I’m an international student currently studying in China — could someone please help me resolve this issue?

I would like to ask if the monthly payment for the Professional plan is on a rolling basis and can be cancelled at any time ? Or is it an annual plan locking user to pay for the entire year? 

Dear Figma Edu Team,Thank you again for your earlier reply regarding our Figma for Education bootcamp verification for Digital Hollywood.

We would be sincerely grateful for your support so they can continue using Figma smoothly.Thank you for your continued support.Sincerely,Ryuzo YamamotoDigital Hollywood(redacted by the moderator due to PII)

Hello,  since the last update, one of the most valuable feature in my opinion making Figma a real real tools especially these days where vibe coding has only the focus on the generative ui, Figma makes both (more fourth stage) which in my opinion one of the pillar tool that understood the current evolution of product design, and in a honest and decent pricing.While Figma Make have the whole attention of users it seems, it’s in fact in my opinion, the wrong usage of Figma Make.The golden workflow were as is : 1.Figma Design2.Figma Sites3. In Figma Site > Pasting Figma Design 3. In Figma Site > Creating components/code layout using Make in Figma Site (even using 21stdev for example) , animation etc 4. In Figma Site > Have a supercharged full blown “storybook” style library but in a insanely modular/flexible and with great affordance for dev and non dev5. In Figma Site > Composing the interface with the code components generated 6. End result : A perfect alliance between desig

 literally a component that would be an 'input', when I use the 'extended' part where the selection opens, I configure it with the information I need, but in the prototype it remains as it was at the beginning.Exemple:Imagine that you have 3 options, flex 1, 2 and 3, but when I go to the prototype, or if I close Figma, it goes back to the component default. If anyone can help me, I'd be grateful!

TBH quite disappointing. I purchased a Pro plan solely because of the integrated MCP server, only for it to not work on Cursor (even with all the recommended solutions) and me having to implement alternatives that would have worked on the Free plan. [This post was split from the original thread titled “Figma MCP not working” and retitled “Question: How to set up Figma MCP Server on Cursor?” on Oct 8, 2025.]

Hello,I am a full-time faculty member at one of the global campuses of a well-known U.S.-based university. Our campus is registered as a local higher education institution in my country and is listed as such in the verification process. I am listed as a faculty member both on the local campus page and on the U.S. university’s website.However, after submitting the required documentation to SheerID, I received a message that my document was in a foreign language and would require additional processing time (from half an hour up to two days). This timeframe has passed, yet I have not received any feedback from SheerID, and I still appear as unverified inside Figma. When I try to re-submit, I encounter a limit reached notification. A colleague of mine completed the verification process without any issues.I am already well into the semester, teaching two courses that rely heavily on Figma, so maintaining uninterrupted access is crucial. Needless to say, the user experience of this re-verifi

Hey! I created transparent frame with glass effect applied but it disapears during an export. I tried different export plugins and formats but still glass effect is not presented as is on the exported file. If background is solid everything works perfectly. Is there any way to export it with transparency? The frame    

Hello, i created i section in my figjam. I shared it via link but the flipcards a placed in the section do not interact. If I open the content within my own browser under my account I can flipp them and the open cards are showing for others who got the link, but they are unable to flip the cards. 

When are Figma going to add variables for custom cubic-bezier and durations? We have a design system with a custom library and it’s a real pain adding these to prototypes manually and leads to a bunch of inconsistencies.
