How to disable formatting

Question

Everytime I copy something, Wordpress will format the content like it was in that text. For example if I copy a link from Wikipedia, Wordpress will format that word to be bold, blue and with underline. This is tilting me so hard.

I have tried the following from Disable TinyMCE autoformatting and I didn't noticed anything

remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' );
remove_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'wpautop' );

I have also tried this plugin, it doesn't work and it generates errors https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/ps-disable-auto-formatting

How to disable formating so that the copied link words will be only regular words? There is a button "remove formatting" but it doesn't do a thing in this case.

Answer 1

Please use this code in your functions.php

function tinymce_paste_as_text( $init ) {
      $init['paste_as_text'] = true;
      return $init;
    }

    add_filter('tiny_mce_before_init', 'tinymce_paste_as_text');

This will paste copied text in plain format
