<\/div>\n<\/div>\nGet a Link Back from Copy & Pasted Text<\/h2>\n
Have you ever copied a piece of text from a website into an email, a file, a forum, or even onto your own site, and suddenly you notice that appended to the end of the text was a link back to the page where it came from?<\/p>\n
Pretty cool, right? And when you think about it, pretty good for SEO purposes too. Well, that\u2019s what this little piece of code below will let you achieve for your own site.<\/p>\n
If you paste this in as is, it will show a link back to the page with the following style. Let\u2019s say your post is titled \u201cLittle Orange Squares\u201d and your site is mysite.com.<\/p>\n
Read more: Little Orange Squares http:\/\/mysite.com\/little-orange-squares\/<\/pre>\nYou can change this to say something like \u201cRead more at MySite\u201d by just adding what you\u2019d like at the end of the \u201cRead more\u201d text.<\/p>\n
Paste the following into your functions.php file (Appearance > Editor > Theme Functions \u2013 functions.php).<\/em><\/p>\n
function add_copyright_text() {\r\nif (is_single()) { ?>\r\n\r\n<script type='text\/javascript'>\r\nfunction addLink() {\r\nif (\r\nwindow.getSelection().containsNode(\r\ndocument.getElementsByClassName('entry-content')[0], true)) {\r\nvar body_element = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];\r\nvar selection;\r\nselection = window.getSelection();\r\nvar oldselection = selection\r\nvar pagelink = \"<br \/><br \/> Read more at YourSiteName: <?php the_title(); ?> <a href='<?php echo wp_get_shortlink(get_the_ID()); ?>'><?php echo wp_get_shortlink(get_the_ID()); ?><\/a>\"; \/\/Change this if you like\r\nvar copy_text = selection + pagelink;\r\nvar new_div = document.createElement('div');\r\nnew_div.style.left='-99999px';\r\nnew_div.style.position='absolute';\r\n\r\nbody_element.appendChild(new_div );\r\nnew_div.innerHTML = copy_text ;\r\nselection.selectAllChildren(new_div );\r\nwindow.setTimeout(function() {\r\nbody_element.removeChild(new_div );\r\n},0);\r\n}\r\n}\r\n\r\n\r\ndocument.oncopy = addLink;\r\n<\/script>\r\n\r\n<?php\r\n}\r\n}\r\n\r\nadd_action( 'wp_head', 'add_copyright_text');<\/pre>\nIf you are using a link shortening service, then you can use the code above with it, but replace get_permalink<\/strong> with wp_get_shortlink<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
