    In the previous versions, the [copy] shortcode was working correctly, when it encloses a formatted text, like below where the character © is bolded:

    [copy]©[/copy]

    On the user-facing front-end, what is seen is © and when you click on it, the the plain unformatted character © is copied. Which is the correct behavior.

    However, this broke with the latest version. when the [copy] shortcode encloses a formatted text, like below where the character © is bolded:

    [copy]©[/copy]

    On the user-facing front-end, what is seen is:
    <strong>©</strong>

    And what is copied is also:
    <strong>©</strong>

    Hi @jayceezay,

    Thanks for reporting this. The issue with the [copy] shortcode showing and copying raw HTML (e.g. <strong>©</strong>) instead of the rendered character (e.g. ©) when the content is formatted has been fixed in the latest version.

    Please update to the newest release and test again. You should now see the formatted character on the front end and only the plain character (e.g. ©) copied to the clipboard when you click.

    If anything still doesn’t work as expected, reply here and we’ll look into it.

    If Copy Anything to Clipboard is working well for you, we’d really appreciate a quick review.

    It might take 2–5 minutes, but it helps us a lot—it makes the plugin easier for others to find and encourages us to keep improving it: Leave a review →

    Thanks for using Copy Anything to Clipboard.

    Regards,
    Support Team
