Clean out HTML from copying, but allow bold

Hi!
When our users copy emails into the forum all the HTML table code shows up in the published post (it’s fine in the editor itself though). I found this filter which I suppose cleans out all HTML when copying
```
//clean html when copy and paste into forum
function bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text( $plugins = array() ) {
    $plugins[] = 'paste';
    return $plugins;

}
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_tiny_mce_plugins’, ‘bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text’ );
```
I’m wondering if there’s a filter that would still allow bold to remain, but remove everything else?
Thank you in advance!

from this article

https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/plugins/opensource/paste/

try this, otherwise I don’t have a further solution
```
//clean html when copy and paste into forum
function bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text( $plugins = array() ) {
    $plugins[] = 'paste';
$paste_word_valid_elements[] = 'b,strong';
    return $plugins;

}
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_tiny_mce_plugins’, ‘bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text’ );
```

Thank you Robin. I appreciate it. Unfortunately it did not work. I can’t get the snippet I posted to work either in fact, all HTML is still there.

This a little funny, but a solution I had never noticed before is that if I right click in the editor or do ctrl + shift + V there’s an option to paste as plain text. It doesn’t make bold etc carry over, but at least there’s no need to paste into a text editor first.
