About CopyPasta:
Noun: copypasta - A block of text which has been copied and pasted from somewhere else.
Etymology: Blend of copy + paste, likely also with a suffix like -a, from -er.
CopyPasta is a forked version of the Paste addon by oscarucb who has been missing in action since the 7.1 patch. Many people have attempted to reach out to the original author but there has been no response. We hope all is well with him. Due to the usefulness and popularity of his addon, it was necessary to fork his project and make it compatible with 8.x. CopyPasta is essentially identical to paste but with its libraries updated for use with Battle for Azeroth. This addon will be discontinued should oscarucb return from his hiatus to update paste.
Important Usage Note:
This addon is a drop-in replacement for paste, which is to say it works exactly like it, with all of its commands and help text. You must disable paste for this one to function properly.
Regarding licensing:
With the exception of the ace libraries, the code from the original addon is "licensed" as "All Rights Reserved," a term made obsolete in 2000, and his code includes no definitions of usage or licensing document. Having said that, my interpretation of his intentions is that he doesn't want someone else to steal and take credit for his work and I will honor this. Because "All Rights Reserved" is not a license agreement, should I make any minor, yet necessary changes to the core of the addon, only said changes will be licensed under MIT license and this will be reflected in the license field for CopyPasta. Everything else in the core of the addon will be licensed in the manner the original author intended but never technically defined, which is to say, use best moral judgement.
Regarding other languages:
Localizations have been migrated from paste to the copypasta project. There are some incomplete and some still needing review. Please help complete paste and copypasta by updating localizations for both addons.
Bug reporting and chat addon compatiblity:
Because no compatibility issues have been reported with other chat addons for paste, it is assumed to also be true in copypasta. Please report bugs using the issues section of this project. Bugs reported in comments will likely go unnoticed. No feature requests will be implemented in copypasta. All crippling bugs determined to be originating from the core addon will be resolved to the best of my ability. Bugs originating from the ace libraries will be resolved in subsequent versions of those libraries as soon as the Ace team hears of the bugs and fixes them.
Description from the original author's addon page:
If you've ever tried to paste a paragraph of text or a list of slash commands into WoW you've probably noticed that newlines are stripped and anything over 255 characters is silently truncated. The Paste addon solves this problem.
Usage:
- Open the Paste window via minimap icon, keybind, LDB or /paste show
- Paste your clipboard text into the box with control-v / command-v
- Press the "Paste" button and the entire contents will be sent to your selected channel, one message per line, with long lines automatically split.
- The "Default" channel can be used to execute a list of slash commands (eg TomTom /way commands)
- Options are available via "/paste config"
Fully compatible with WoW 8.x and all chat addons.
[Paste was] Featured on Hearthcast Podcast #177!!

Just set the TOC in the .TOC file and be done with it ... its otherwise still a fully working addon , at least for me in DragonFlight 10.00.02 it is...
Interface # to 100002
There is a new addon replacement
I wanted to take over some out of date addons, just to make it them to date and maybe fix a problem or two. I found a way to find replacement addons.
Basically search curse for part of the addon's name.
Search for Paste: find "Paste NG"
still seems to work fine, but would love if the toc could get updated ;p
any chance to get newer version ?

Unfortunately the author is MIA.
Update the first line of CopyPasta.toc to
## Interface: 90001
and it seems to work without error (at least on one simple copy/paste)
Any plans on updating this for 9.0.1, or any way to configure it to work?
In reply to dei_X_ide:
The original author of this fork has been inactive for quite some time, I've pushed an updated version of the addon to Tukui here https://www.tukui.org/addons.php?id=186 you can find it on WoWUp and things now also.
In reply to Forge_User_61594893:
Any plans to drop it in CurseForge as well?
In reply to doctorshades24:
Sorry I'm not interested in hosting it here, it is already an effort to support on Tukui.
In reply to Forge_User_61594893:
I am not interested in using WoWUp.
We are here on CurseForge and also Twitch/Overwolf is our tool of choice!
In reply to scaver:
Absolutely not a problem, keep using Twitch/Overwolf if they are what you enjoy using. I'll be keeping my updated version only on Tukui and Github though.
Is this on Twitch? I cant seen to find it or download it
This addon is probably not compatible with ElvUI.- ElvUI (Buff) + CopyPasta Disabled:

- ElvUI (Buff) + CopyPasta Enabled :
https://ibb.co/PDkWcyL
I don't know why it removes the texture from the bar
Edit: The problem is LibStrataFix, this library has not been updated since 2015
To fix the problem go to Interface\AddOns\CopyPasta open embeds.xml with text editor and delete the line:
Does this work on Classic? If not, can a Classic compatible version be generated, please?
In reply to bsmorgan:
Seams it is, just tested it in Classic.
Any chance of an update to 8.2? I am not getting any errors. Just a TOC update I would assume. Trying to clean up addons.
Hi, I used the addon "Paste" until I noticed today that most butons in the actual window had disappeared. so I googled and saw that this addon here is the followup-addon of Paste. I installed this addon, but also here all the buttons (but the Close) button are not showing up anymore!?
I put a screenshot up here https://imgur.com/a/426YEwT
