 * Having an issue with the copy anything plugin.
 * I has been working great for ages but now has stopped letting me use [] within[]
   
   Example:I used to use
 * [copy tag=”a” text=”Location” content=”/wp & #91;Planet Cyrene, 137913, 79415,
   173, High Desert Wave& #93;”]
 * to get
   /wp [Planet, 137913, 79415, 173, Wave]
 * After the latest update this has stopped working and I now get:
   /wp & #91;Planet,
   137913, 79415, 173, Wave& #93;
 * This would be find if i only had to edit a couple to fix it but i have hundreds
   of these on my site.
 * Is there a way to set this back to working how it used to?
