• I’ve not tried to post anything since scheduling a post last week, but today I was greeted with a message that WordPress now pastes in plain text. This means that all my formatting in my Scrivener file is now useless, and any URLs or links I want to paste across just aren’t working.

    Can someone point me in the direction of how to turn plain text pasting off, please?

    Many thanks.

    PS I use the Classic Editor plug in

    PPS Apologies if I’m in the wrong place again!

  • hi, first don’t worry, this is not a wordpress problem, it’s mostly coming from your editor only. in classic editor, there is a clipboard icon with “T” called paste as text. if that is enabled, whatever you paste will come as plain text, so just check that once, turn it off, and try again. also make sure you are in visual editor, not in html mode, because in html it can look like plain text. try these once, mostly it should fix it. if it’s still the same, let me know.

    Thank you so much, @saivarshith – I hadn’t even noticed that icon on the toolbar. I must have hit it by accident. Typical, something I’d done. As usual. 🙂

    haha, happens to everyone, especially when rushing 😄 glad it helped, you’re welcome and happy writing!
