Simple and to the point

Great little plugin. Works in WPBakery too, unlike a couple of competitors I've tested today. An option to display the 'Copy' button in different locations would be nice (e.g. below the code box).

I Wish I Could 5 Star It

A two-year issue still plagues this plugin. It still tacks on 'COPY' text at the end of the copied text...making it a bit useless if the copied text really isn't the copied text but a flawed version of it.

Brilliantly Simple

Brilliantly Simple. So much easier than trying to fiddle about adding my own javscript etc. Can be used straight out of the box as it is or can change the look of it with my own css to bring it in line with the website design. Thanks
