## Katrangan

Enable paste as text by default with one click in editors like Classic Editor, Divi(
Divi 5 included), Elementor, Beaver Builder, WPBakery and WPUF (but not in Gutenberg).

No more unwanted formatting issues or junk code when copying and pasting text into
your WordPress editor. Paste content from pdf documents, emails or other websites
without importing colors and font stylings that don’t match your overall design.

#### Consistent Design

No risk of importing mismatching colors, fonts or other styles when copying & pasting
content.

#### Clean Code

Avoid unnecessary code on your website that could slow down your loading time and
break the design.

#### Fast Editing

No need for custom hacks with keyboard shortcuts, cleaning your text in Notepad 
or repeatedly clicking the T icon.

#### Compatibility

This plugin supports the following page builders / editors:

 * Classic Editor
 * Divi Builder (Divi 5 included)
 * Elementor
 * Beaver Builder
 * WPBakery
 * WPUF (WP User Frontend)
 * … and more!

This plugin does not affect the Gutenberg Block Editor, Brizy Builder or Visual 
Composer.

## Pemasangan

The plugin is simple to install:

 1. Download `paste-as-plain-text-by-default.zip`
 2. Unzip
 3. Upload the `paste-as-plain-text` directory to your `/wp-content/plugins` directory
 4. Go to the plugin management page and enable the plugin
 5. That’s it! There are no further settings needed.

You can find full details of installing a plugin on the [plugin page](https://victorduse.com/recommended-tools-and-services/paste-as-plain-text/).

## FAQ

### Can I override the paste as text setting in a specific element?

Sure, just click the Paste as text icon (T) in your editor to deactivate the setting
for that specific element. However, the next time you edit the element, paste as
plain text will be active again by default.

### Do I have to install the Classic Editor plugin?

No, it will work with Divi Visual Builder, Elementor, Beaver Builder and WPBakery
without using the Classic Editor plugin.

### Does it work with Gutenberg Block Editor?

The plugin has no effect on the Gutenberg Block Editor but there are no known conflicts
either. So if you use a page builder like Divi Builder on your pages and Gutenberg
on your posts, you will have plain text by default on your pages but not on your
posts.

### Could you add support for more page builders / editors?

We have no plans to add support for Gutenberg but we could add support for other
WordPress page builders and editors in the future. Feel free to send a feature request
on the WordPress Plugin Support Page.

Exactly what I needed. Easy install and setup. It allowed me to have plain text 
paste by default so my client won’t get messy code from pasting pre-formatted content.
Especially from vendor’s PDF files it can break your theme/design and your page 
HTML code. A Must have wordpress plugin!

Absolutely great plugin. Started using it the other day, will install it on all 
my Divi sites. Very simple, very effective. I always use plain text for pasting,
and having to click the plain text icon (and removing the very annoying Divi message
about… using plain text mode!) definitely makes you smile. Should be WP default 
function.
