Copy Anything to Clipboard for WordPress – Copy Button, Copy Text & Copy Code

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 54% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   The Copy Anything to Clipboard plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 4.0.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Hopefully this can be fixed soon!

   The plugin does what it says. It allows you to chose text to be copied in a variety of scenarios and for many use cases. However,.. I do not condone the design choises being made. Loading scripts, regardless of use, on all pages is a no-go. Certainly given the page-speed impact they have High page-speed impact compared to a manual js implementation of a “copy to clipboard” functionality Loading back-end JS files even with the plugin not being used anywhere is a no-go (eg. block-editor.min.js, editor.min.js, etc.) I had to remove the plugin from all client websites. That being said, the support team seems open to feedback for improvement & recognized these issues. So I might give it some time and come back in the future.
