Append Link on Copy

Description

With this Plugin you can automatically add text or html to content that is copied from your page.

If a visitor copies any kind of text from the website, a link to the page is appended, so if it is pasted elsewhere, a link to the page is maintained.

right now you can:

  • specify the Read more link text, default: Read more at:
  • how many
    tags should be inserted below the copied text and the link or copyright notice
  • specify if you want the current page title included
  • make every copy link to the main page
  • decide if you want the site title to be appended
  • see previews of HTML and text versions of the copied text and link

I plan to increase the functionality with:

  • some internationalisation
  • if somebody wants to contribute legacy IE support I’ll include that

Suggestions welcome

Best Plugin that does the protection right.

I believe this is the only or the best plugin that does the job right. Adding your post link in a copied text is the best method to get an easy back link to increased your domain authority (in SEO) without corrupt text or prevent others from spreading your blog content.

Сплошной текст

By Andrew (papex) on August 16, 2018

Скопированный текст теряет всякое форматирование. Абзацы надо было бы оставить. Пришлось отказаться от него.

That's work but not like the screenshot's

the plugin working good but the result it's only like text preview .. it's mean "page link" text only with no linked, no site link, no sample site name i wish the author can resolve that, thanks

Much better and lower overhead compared to another similar plugin

Doesn't currently work if pasting from IE or Opera, but this is probably not too important:
Most intelligent blog owners will not be using IE anyway, and most have not yet realized how good Opera is.

I don't currently use pagination, so cannot say if this plugin messes with that or not.

Great job

I am having no problems on using this. I heard about this plugin over on the WordPress Plugins A to Z podcast and was something i was looking for. A little surprised of the rating but with only three that is kind of understandable. but no problems works great in Chrome and Firefox
