5.5.1

Fix: Highlight.js / code block copy formatting – Copy buttons added via Global Injector to pre and code blocks (including themes using Highlight.js, such as the setup on zanglikun.com) now preserve indentation and whitespace when copying, so Java / PHP / shell snippets paste exactly as shown instead of being flattened into a single left-aligned block. Thanks to Likun Zang for reporting the issue.
Fix: [copy] shortcode in table cells – [copy] and [copy_inline] inside table plugins (Data Tables Generator by Supsystic, wpDataTables) now work correctly. Copy script and styles load when the table shortcode is on the page, and copy buttons work with cached or dynamically rendered table content. Thanks to @jayceezay for reporting. See: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/copy-shortcode-in-table-cells-not-working-anymore/
Fix: Thrive Architect HTML block integration – Copy buttons rendered inside a Thrive Architect HTML block (for example, custom blockquotes with ctc-wrapper markup) are now reliably detected and bound by the frontend script, so clicking the button correctly copies the content even when the HTML is pre-rendered or cached.
Improvement: Shortcode copy buttons (event delegation) – Copy buttons from [copy] shortcodes now use document-level event delegation, so buttons added dynamically (e.g. by table plugins after page load) remain clickable.
Improvement: Code / pre support in Global Injector – Global Injector rules targeting pre / code elements now integrate more safely with external highlighters and pre-rendered content, ensuring the “Copy Anything to Clipboard” behavior stays consistent without breaking existing theme or page builder output.

5.5.0

New: Gutenberg block analytics (Pro) – Copy events from all Gutenberg copy blocks (Copy to Clipboard Icon, Copy Icon, and Copy Button) are now tracked as source = 'gutenberg-block' in the same analytics table. Pro Analytics dashboard shows a three-way source breakdown (Global Injector, Shortcodes, Gutenberg Blocks) and a Block by page view so you can see which pages drive the most Gutenberg block copy events.
Improvement: Gutenberg block tracking – Gutenberg copy block output includes data-ctc-analytics and data-ctc-source=\"gutenberg-block\"; frontend sends analytics to POST /ctc/v1/analytics/events after each copy (non-blocking). Block scripts and styles still load only when the relevant block is present on the page.

5.4.2

Fix: Icon block frontend scripts only load when block is present – Icon block (Copy to Clipboard) styles and copy script are now enqueued only on pages that contain the Icon block, using has_block( 'copy-the-code/icon' ). This avoids loading assets on every page and improves performance when the block is not used.

5.4.1

New: Telemetry opt-in – Anonymized usage data can be shared to help improve the plugin. Opt-in is available from the welcome notice and via Settings → Dashboard; data is sent only when enabled and is cleaned on uninstall.
Improvement: Copy-by-source analytics and telemetry summary (Pro) – Analytics now includes a breakdown by copy source and a telemetry summary for opted-in usage insights.
Improvement: Uninstall cleanup – Telemetry and related options are removed when the plugin is uninstalled.
Fix: Freemius not loading – Resolved an issue where Freemius SDK could fail to load in some environments.

5.4.0

New: Shortcode analytics + per-shortcode opt-out (Pro) – Shortcode-based copy events are now tracked as source = 'shortcode' with post and page context, alongside Global Injector events. You can disable tracking for specific shortcodes via an analytics attribute (for example, [copy analytics=\"off\"]Code[/copy] still copies but does not record analytics for that instance).
New: Source breakdown & shortcode-by-page (Pro) – The detailed Analytics endpoint now includes a Global Injector vs Shortcodes source breakdown and a shortcode-by-page view so you can see which pages and shortcodes drive the most copy events.
Improvement: Volume vs Prior card accuracy – The Volume vs Prior card now shows / N prev whenever previous-period data exists (including 0), reserving -- prev only for truly missing data, and uses clearer trend labels for trending vs lagging periods.
Improvement: Free vs Pro previews in Analytics UI – Free users see a blurred preview for Pro-only source breakdown data so the UI is no longer misleading; Pro users see real counts, percentages, and growth.
Improvement: Version consistency & cache-busting – Unified plugin version across the header, CTC_VER constant, core class, composer, and readme. Release tooling (npm run version:check / version:set) now fails on mismatches and keeps all version fields in sync, preventing stale assets and updater drift.
Fix: Coupon widget copy button label – The Elementor coupon widget now passes the correct config keys to the shared copy button helper, and the helper accepts both legacy (copy_button_text) and new (button_text) keys so the custom button text from widget settings always renders as expected.
Fix: Preserve zero-valued style settings – Global Injector rule meta now treats saved '0' values (e.g. blur, border width, padding) as valid instead of falling back to defaults, so zero-style configurations are applied consistently after saving.
Security: Safer external links – All plugin-generated links that open in a new tab (target=\"_blank\") now include rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" to guard against reverse-tabnabbing and improve cross-window isolation.
Security: Pro analytics limited to admins – Pro analytics REST endpoints now require the manage_options capability, preventing non-admin users from accessing analytics data even if they obtain a valid REST nonce.
Security: Analytics abuse protections – The public analytics event endpoint (POST /ctc/v1/analytics/events) now enforces per-IP rate limiting and strict payload validation, returning 429 on abusive bursts and 400 for invalid event data to protect the ctc_analytics table.
Improvement: Analytics timezone normalization – Analytics events and query windows now consistently use UTC for created_at and date ranges, preventing shifted 24h/7d/30d boundaries on non-UTC sites.
Improvement: Analytics retention & cleanup – Older analytics events beyond roughly 13 months are now pruned in small batches by a daily scheduled cleanup job (retention days and batch size are filterable), keeping the ctc_analytics table fast while still supporting long-range comparisons.
Fix: Emojis in code blocks now copied correctly – WordPress renders emojis as <img class=\"emoji\"> elements; the copy logic now converts these to their alt text so emojis are included in the copied content. Thanks @jayceezay

5.3.1

Fix: [copy] shortcode with formatted content – When the shortcode encloses formatted text (e.g. bold), the front end now displays the formatting and copies plain text to the clipboard. Display uses allowed HTML (filterable); copy uses plain text unless copy-as=\"html\". Thanks @jayceezay
New (developer): Filter ctc/shortcode/display_allowed_html to customize allowed HTML for shortcode display content (e.g. add custom markup support).

5.3.0

New: Analytics (Pro) – See what gets copied. Copy tracking for Global Injector rules: track copy events per rule (rule ID, timestamp, success; no content stored). Analytics dashboard at Settings → Analytics: summary cards (total copies, active rules, top rule, % change), date range filter (24h, 7d, 30d, custom), activity chart, top rules table. Export CSV (Pro).
New: Activity column in Main Rule List – Copy count and 24h % change per rule. Free: count + blurred trend + Pro CTA; Pro: real trend. Link from Activity to Analytics filtered by rule.
New: REST API for analytics – POST /ctc/v1/analytics/events (public, for frontend tracking); GET endpoints and export for authenticated Pro users.
Improvement: Global Injector – Analytics option/link in rule editor and dashboard to open Analytics page (filtered by rule when applicable).

5.2.0

New: Copy As (Clipboard Type) – Choose what gets copied per rule: Text only, HTML, Text + HTML (default), Image (Pro), JSON (Pro), SVG (Pro). Global Injector Rule Editor includes “Copy as” section; shortcode and Gutenberg blocks support copy-as attribute. Uses CTC CopyEngine with Clipboard API; fallbacks for image (HTTPS/CORS) and legacy browsers.
New: Image format for Copy As Image (Pro) – Choose PNG, JPEG, or WebP when copying as image. Pro adds Image format selector in Copy As section; free plugin provides ctc.globalInjector.copyAs.after hook for extensibility.
Improvement: Copy As extensibility – Free plugin now uses ctc.globalInjector.copyAs.after hook; Pro plugin renders Image format UI (PNG/JPEG/WebP) when Copy As is Image Blob. Follows Rank Math free/Pro pattern.
Improvement: Pro extension points – Added ctc/global_injector/rule_enum_fields, ctc/global_injector/rest_rule_data filters; ctc.globalInjector.fieldsToCompare for unsaved-changes detection. Pro adds image_format via extend_meta_mapping, extend_admin_rule_data, extend_frontend_rule_data.
New: ImageFormatSection (Pro) – Pro component for Image format selection with ButtonGroup and docs link.
Fix: Image format persistence – Image format selection now persists after save and page refresh (load_rules and REST get_rule_data include image_format when Pro is active).

5.1.0

New: Main Rule List – Custom rules UI at Settings → Global Injector (page=ctc-rules): table with Status toggle, Rule Name/Target, Visual Style, Location; row actions Edit, Duplicate, Delete; search and status filter; empty state.
New: Dashboard (Home) – Copy to Clipboard dashboard at page=ctc (Settings → Copy to Clipboard).
New: Shared admin components – AdminHeader, ConfirmModal, Footer, Icons, ProBadge used by Dashboard, Main Rule List, and Rule Editor.
Improvement: Rule Editor – Header uses shared AdminHeader with back link to Global Rules list.
Improvement: Legacy CPT redirects – “Add New” and list edit links for copy-to-clipboard redirect to Global Injector.
Developer: get_admin_rules() API for admin list data; Main Rule List and Dashboard use React + Tailwind under .ctc-admin-root.
Improvement: Global Injector CSS from PHP – Global Injector styles (Button, Icon, Cover) are now output as minified inline CSS from PHP via the new Inline_CSS class. Only the styles and positions used by active rules are included; the ctc/global_injector/inline_css filter still applies to the final CSS.
Fix: Cover style fatal error – Added missing get_global_injector_css() method to the Cover style class so inline CSS builds correctly when Cover style is used (fixes “Call to undefined method Cover::get_global_injector_css()”).
New: Admin bar quick-edit for Global Injector – When viewing a page where Global Injector rules apply, admins see a “CTC” item (with clipboard icon) in the admin bar. Sub-items list “Edit: [Rule name]” for each rule on the page and open the Global Injector settings with that rule selected.
Improvement: Global Injector URL support – The settings page now supports a ?rule=ID query parameter to open the editor with a specific rule selected (e.g. from the admin bar or bookmarks). Added get_selected_rule_id() helper.
New: Shortcode redirect attribute – The [copy] shortcode now supports a redirect attribute for copy-then-redirect flows (e.g. [copy redirect=\"https://store.com\"]CODE10[/copy]). After copying, the user is sent to the given URL. The existing link attribute remains supported for backward compatibility and has the same effect as redirect.
Fix: Shortcode display text with inner content – When both text and inner content are present (e.g. [copy text=\"Hello World\"]Copy this[/copy]), the visible label now uses the inner content (“Copy this”) and text is used only for the copy payload. Previously the label showed the text value.
Fix: Native preset CSS when using tag=”a” – Using tag=\"a\" for link-style copy buttons now correctly loads the native preset CSS so theme link styling is applied.
Fix: Shortcode link attribute redirect – The “Copy & Redirect” / “Combining Multiple Attributes” flow now works: when link=\"https://example.com\" is set, the shortcode outputs data-ctc-link and the frontend opens the URL in a new tab after a successful copy (e.g. after “Copied! Redirecting…”).
Improvement: Shortcode performance – Inline CSS for the shortcode is now output only for presets actually used on the page (inline, native, button, icon, cover), and the CSS is minified to reduce payload size.
Improvement: Global Injector rules sidebar – When opening the settings page with a specific rule (e.g. ?rule=318), the selected rule is now scrolled to the top of the rules list within the sidebar only, without scrolling the whole page or moving the admin header out of view.
Fix: Giant copy icons in tables – Added explicit width and height attributes (24×24) to all Global Injector SVG icons (Button, Icon, and Cover styles) so theme CSS cannot scale them unexpectedly inside table cells. Thanks @akashathu

5.0.1

Bug fixes and support issues (post-5.0.0) — Thanks to the users who reported these on the support forum.

Fix: 404 on ctc.js – Moved script to assets/frontend/js/lib/ctc.js (renamed from vendor/ to avoid .gitignore conflict). Global Injector and shortcode enqueue the copy engine; fallbacks remain when script is unavailable. Thanks @contemplate
Fix: Giant copy icons in tables – Copy icons inside table cells no longer scale with table font-size. Added CSS constraints for shortcode and block copy icons when inside table elements.
Fix: Square brackets in shortcode content – Legacy shortcodes using content=\"... [...] ...\" now copy the correct [ and ] characters. The content attribute is decoded from HTML entities before use.
Fix: Shortcode script loading – Shortcode frontend script no longer depends on the removed vendor script; it loads independently with Clipboard API fallbacks.

METHOD 1 – Global Injector (NEW in v5.0.0)

The Global Injector is the most powerful way to automatically add copy buttons anywhere on your website.

It allows you to target elements using CSS selectors and control exactly where the copy buttons appear.

Key Capabilities

Display Conditions – Show copy buttons only on specific pages, posts, categories, or custom conditions.
Multiple Style Presets – Choose from Button, Icon, or Cover styles with live preview.
Advanced Targeting – Precisely target elements using CSS selectors such as pre, code, blockquote, and more.
Performance Optimized – Plugin assets load only on pages where copy buttons are used.

How to Use Global Injector

Go to Copy to Clipboard → Global Injector in your WordPress dashboard.
Click Add New Injector.
Enter the CSS selector you want to target (for example: pre, code, or blockquote).
Select a style preset – Button, Icon, or Cover.
(Optional) Configure Display Conditions to control where the copy button appears.
Click Save and preview the changes on your site.

METHOD 2 – Automatically with “CSS Selector”

This is the quickest and most commonly used method. It automatically adds copy buttons to all elements that match a specific CSS selector.

Use this method when you want copy buttons to appear automatically across your entire website without manually adding them to each element.

Examples

Example 1 – Code Snippets

If your posts contain code snippets inside the

tag, simply set the selector to:

pre\n

The plugin will automatically add a copy button to every

element, allowing visitors to copy code snippets with one click.

Example 2 – Blockquotes

If you want users to copy quotes from your blog posts, set the selector to:

blockquote\n

A copy button will automatically appear for all blockquote elements on your site.

You can target any HTML element or custom class using CSS selectors such as:

pre, `code`, `blockquote`, `.coupon-code`, `.email-address`, or `.copy-this`How to Use with CSS Selector
\n

1. Go to Copy to Clipboard in your WordPress dashboard.
\n2. Click the Add New button.
\n3. Enter the CSS selector you want to target (for example: pre or blockquote).
\n4. Click Create to save the selector.
\n5. Visit your page and you will see the copy button automatically added to the targeted elements.

METHOD 3 – Manually with “Shortcodes”

Use this method when you want to add a copy button only to specific content instead of applying it automatically across the entire site.

The plugin provides two shortcodes:

[copy] – Wrap content inside the shortcode
[copy_inline] – Copy inline text using attributes

Example – Wrapping Content

`\n

The Zoom meeting is scheduled on [copy]15 November 2022[/copy]. Please note it down.

`\n

This will add a copy button that allows users to copy “15 November 2022” with one click.

Example – Inline Content

You can use [copy_inline] to copy inline values such as emails, phone numbers, or links.

`\n

Email: [copy_inline text=”contact@clipboard.agency“]
Phone: [copy_inline text=”+91 1234567890″]
Address: [copy_inline text=”123, Street, City, State, Country”]
Website: [copy_inline text=”https://clipboard.agency/“]
\n
Facebook: [copy_inline text=”https://www.facebook.com/clipboard.agency/“]
\n
Example – Coupon Code
\n

Use coupon code [copy_inline text=”COUPONCODE”] to get 10% discount.

`Example – Deal Link
\n`\n

Get the deal: [copy_inline text=”https://clipboard.agency/deal/“]

`Example – Username and Password
\n`\n

Username: [copy_inline text=”username”]
\nPassword: [copy_inline text=”password” display=”********”]

`\n

This allows users to copy sensitive values while displaying masked text.
\n `

METHOD 4 – Manually with “Elementor Widgets”

The plugin includes multiple Elementor widgets that allow you to easily add copy buttons to specific content on your page.

Simply drag and drop a widget and configure the content you want visitors to copy.

These widgets are useful for many types of content including:

Emails
ChatGPT / AI prompts
Coupon codes
Deals and affiliate links
Inspirational quotes
Contact information
Addresses
Social media posts
Commands and technical code
Passwords and secure values
Notes, reminders, and checklists
