Copying text on my site adds this –> See more at: URL/#sthash.3H02zndT.dpuf

    Hi,

    When I copy text on my web site to a document I am now seeing a whole bunch of stuff that gets added to the text and I don’t want any of it. I only noticed this issue today. I’m not sure if this is due to a change in WordPress or one of my plugins. Can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance. ??

    Example of the issue:
    I go here: https://georgeorwellnovels.com/journalism/through-a-glass-rosily/

    I highlight and copy the first few words of the article and I get this: The recent article by Tribune’s Vienna correspondent – See more at: https://georgeorwellnovels.com/journalism/through-a-glass-rosily/#sthash.FuaM8jIJ.dpuf

    I don’t want the: “See more at:” and the “#sthash.FuaM8jIJ.dpuf” and don’t even know why it is appearing. It doesn’t seem to happen every time I do a CTRL-C but it will happen about 50% of the time.

    Add new plugin called “Tweak Option”. Install and activate.

    Then, go to Tools -> Tweak Option.

    Search for the ‘st_widget’ option entry.

    Click the “edit” button for this option… copy the small bit of code.. and post it here for me to see.

    That was fast! ??

    That’s how I roll ??

    Okay… Add this back into that option:

    <script charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript">var switchTo5x=false;</script><script charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript" src="https://w.sharethis.com/button/buttons.js"></script><script type="text/javascript">stLight.options({publisher:"wp.9f6f5912-233c-4981-b684-b6aacf0ac048", doNotHash:true, doNotCopy:true, hashAddressBar:false});</script>

    … and click “save”.

    Now… watch as I sprinkle a little magic php dust over internet-land… and BAM!
    Where’d it go??

    Ah … ummm … You fixed the interwebs on my Orwell site! YOU ARE A GENIUS.

    Thank you so much Josh.

    I’m saving a link to your plugins site. ShareThis never got back to me but you jumped in and really helped. Amazing!

    ?? My absolute pleasure. I always appreciate a good challenge ??

    All I ask is you mark the thread as resolved ??

    Sleep well, my friend.

    Marking it “resolved” now.

    I am your friend. Sleep well. ??

    Version 6.0 of the ShareThis plugin seems to fix this problem. In the old settings, it didn’t matter whether you checked the feature ON or OFF — it still appended the hash. Now if you check the feature OFF, the copied text is clean. Just update your ShareThis plugin.

    Info on how to disable it can be found here:
