Are you looking for a way to enable 3 new buttons within the TinyMCE editor including cut, copy, and paste? While there’s probably a plugin for this, we have created a quick code snippet that you can use to add cut, copy, and paste buttins to the TinyMCE editor in WordPress.
Instructions:
All you have to do is add this code to your theme’s functions.php file or in a site-specific plugin:
function enable_more_buttons($buttons) {
$buttons[] = 'copy';
$buttons[] = 'cut';
$buttons[] = 'paste';
return $buttons;
}
add_filter("mce_buttons_2", "enable_more_buttons");
You can also use this snippet to get the required results.
function enable_more_buttons($buttons) {
$buttons[] = 'copy,cut,paste';
return $buttons;
}
add_filter("mce_buttons_2", "enable_more_buttons");
Note: If this is your first time adding code snippets in WordPress, then please refer to our guide on how to properly copy / paste code snippets in WordPress, so you don’t accidentally break your site.

Thanks for sharing this information, I have added this code to my theme’s functions.php file but personally I feel the functionality of the buttons are not working properly. It worked for the first time and stopped working after a few minutes. I don’t know this is happening with me only.
Now I am using the PasteItCleaned plugin and it’s affordable and helped me to add the data from my excel sheets.
