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

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.
