How to add a 'Read More' link to copied text in WordPress

You may have noticed how some popular websites (such as eHow, etc.) attach a "Read More" link to any text copied from their website. This is a great way to get new users. People usually copy and paste text from websites into emails. Some people use it to save information for future use, while others just share it with their friends, family and colleagues. In this article, we will show you how to easily add the Read More link to any text copied in your WordPress blog for extra traffic.

Note: To see the actual effect, copy everything in this article and paste it into your email or notepad.

The first thing you need to do is copy the following code into the theme's functions.php file or site-specific plugin:

 functionadd_copyright_text() { if(is_single()) { ?><script type="'text/javascript'">functionaddLink() { if(window.getSelection().containsNode(document.getElementsByClassName(&#39;entry-content&#39;)[0], true)) { varbody_element = document.getElementsByTagName(&#39;body&#39;)[0]; varselection; selection = window.getSelection(); varoldselection = selection varpagelink = "<br /><br /> Read more at WPBeginner: <?php the_title(); ?> <a href=&#39;<?php echo wp_get_shortlink(get_the_ID()); ?>&#39;><?php echo wp_get_shortlink(get_the_ID()); ?>"; //Change this if you like varcopy_text = selection pagelink; varnew_div = document.createElement(&#39;div&#39;); new_div.style.left=&#39;-99999px&#39;; new_div.style.position=&#39;absolute&#39;; body_element.appendChild(new_div ); new_div.innerHTML = copy_text ; selection.selectAllChildren(new_div ); window.setTimeout(function() { body_element.removeChild(new_div ); },0);}}document.oncopy = addLink;</script><?php }}add_action( &#39;wp_head&#39;, &#39;add_copyright_text&#39;);

Use it with one click in WordPress

Now, whenever someone visits your website and tries to copy your content, there is a "Read More" link. Don't forget to change the copyright text and add your own website title to it.

Edit: Initially we were crawling the window URL, but as one of our users pointed out, this makes the URL look clumsy. We have updated the code to display it only on a single post page and use wp_shortlink. So it will use something like this: yoursite.com/?p=23. If you use a custom short link like ours: wpbeg.in, then it will display the brand short link.
