Paste As Plain Text By Default

Beskriuwing

Enable paste as text by default with one click in editors like Classic Editor, Divi, Elementor, Beaver Builder, WPBakery and WPUF (but not in Gutenberg).

No more unwanted formatting issues or junk code when copying and pasting text into your WordPress editor. Paste content from pdf documents, emails or other websites without importing colors and font stylings that don’t match your overall design.

Consistent Design

No risk of importing mismatching colors, fonts or other styles when copying & pasting content.

Clean Code

Avoid unnecessary code on your website that could slow down your loading time and break the design.

Fast Editing

No need for custom hacks with keyboard shortcuts, cleaning your text in Notepad or repeatedly clicking the T icon.

Compatibility

This plugin supports the following page builders / editors:

  • Classic Editor
  • Divi Builder
  • Elementor
  • Beaver Builder
  • WPBakery

  • … and more!

This plugin does not affect the Gutenberg Block Editor, Brizy Builder or Visual Composer.

FAQ

Can I override the paste as text setting in a specific element?

Sure, just click the Paste as text icon (T) in your editor to deactivate the setting for that specific element. However, the next time you edit the element, paste as plain text will be active again by default.

Do I have to install the Classic Editor plugin?

No, it will work with Divi Visual Builder, Elementor, Beaver Builder and WPBakery without using the Classic Editor plugin.

Does it work with Gutenberg Block Editor?

The plugin has no effect on the Gutenberg Block Editor but there are no known conflicts either. So if you use a page builder like Divi Builder on your pages and Gutenberg on your posts, you will have plain text by default on your pages but not on your posts.

Could you add support for more page builders / editors?

We have no plans to add support for Gutenberg but we could add support for other WordPress page builders and editors in the future. Feel free to send a feature request on the WordPress Plugin Support Page.

Absolutely great plugin. Started using it the other day, will install it on all my Divi sites. Very simple, very effective. I always use plain text for pasting, and having to click the plain text icon (and removing the very annoying Divi message about… using plain text mode!) definitely makes you smile. Should be WP default function.

I had to do so much clean up after my writers pasting gmail and word docs. This is a great find! thanks for making it!

This is such an excellent addition to the plugin library. I lose count of the number of times users forget to paste unformatted text. With this plugin the ability this plugin provides, to switch off the unformatted text is vital. For those occasions when you need to copy between WordPress posts for example.
