## Kuvaus

🚀 **Move Elementor designs between sites in seconds — copy to clipboard or download
as a file.**

This plugin puts a sleek action panel right on your live pages. Hover any Elementor
section or container and crisp icon buttons appear: **Copy** sends the design to
your clipboard, **Download** saves it as a portable `.json` file. Paste it into 
any other Elementor site with the native ”Paste from other site” feature, or import
the file later — no exports, no FTP, no headaches.

Built for people who build a lot of sites: agencies, freelancers, and teams who 
reuse layouts across projects, domains, and staging environments.

#### ⚡ What makes it different

 * **Copy _and_ Download** – Grab a section to the clipboard, or download it as 
   JSON to build your own reusable library.
 * **Beautiful frontend panel** – Clean SVG icons, rounded corner styling, and hover
   tooltips. No clutter for your visitors.
 * **Built-in analytics** – A native dashboard shows which pages and sections get
   copied and downloaded most, so you know which designs actually work.
 * **Role-based access** – Show the buttons to everyone, logged-in users only, or
   editors and admins only.
 * **Cache-safe & secure** – Nonce-protected requests that keep working even on 
   fully cached pages.

#### 🎯 Core Features

**📋 Copy to Clipboard**
 * Hover-to-reveal copy button on every section and container*
Preserves styling, animations, custom CSS, and widget settings * Works with both
flexbox containers and classic sections * Reliable on deeply nested containers and
inner sections

**📥 Download as JSON**
 * Save any section as a clean `.json` file with one click*
Import it on any Elementor site whenever you’re ready * Perfect for building a personal,
reusable design library * Great fallback when clipboard access is restricted

**📊 Native Reporting Dashboard**
 * Total copies and downloads at a glance * Top
copied pages — with clickable links straight to each page * Top copied sections —
see which blocks perform * Daily activity chart (copies vs downloads), always the
last 30 days * Filter totals by 7 / 30 / 90 days or all time * Page ID, page slug,
and page title recorded for every action

**⚙️ Modern Settings Panel**
 * Clean React-powered admin UI under **Settings  Live
Copy** * Toggle the copy button and download button independently * Choose button
visibility by role * Disable on mobile with one switch * Add a ”How it works” help/
video link for the info icon

**🔒 Security First**
 * Every request is CSRF-protected with a nonce * Automatically
refreshes the security token on cached pages so actions never silently fail * Private
pages require a logged-in user * Read-only — never modifies your content

#### 🌟 Perfect For

 * **Agencies** – keep design consistent across many client sites
 * **Freelancers** – reuse proven sections and ship faster
 * **Developers** – move layouts between staging, dev, and production
 * **Template builders** – assemble and distribute section libraries

### Privacy

This plugin stores a usage log in your own database (a custom table) to power the
analytics dashboard. Each copy/download record includes the page ID, page slug, 
page title, section ID, the acting user ID where available, the visitor’s IP address,
and a timestamp. The IP is anonymized by default (configurable: full, anonymized,
or not stored). No data is sent to any third party. Records are pruned automatically
after 180 days and can be exported to CSV. Your data is kept even when the plugin
is deleted — it is only removed on uninstall if you opt in with `define( 'LIVE_COPY_ALLOW_CLEAR',
true );` in wp-config.php.

## Asennus

#### First-Time Setup

## UKK

### Which page builder is supported?

Elementor. The plugin reads Elementor’s native data structure, so copied sections
paste back into Elementor with full fidelity.

### How does copying between sites work?

On the source site you click **Live Copy** — the section’s full Elementor data is
placed on your clipboard. On the target site, right-click in the Elementor editor
and choose **Paste from other site**. The design appears with its styling intact.
Both sites should have a compatible Elementor version (and any third-party widgets
the design uses).

### What is the Download button for?

It saves the section as a `.json` file. Use it to keep a design for later, share
it with a teammate, or build a reusable library. You can re-import the JSON on any
Elementor site.

### Can I control who sees the buttons?

Yes. Under **Settings  Live Copy** you can show the buttons to everyone, to logged-
in users only, or to editors and admins only. You can also enable the Copy and Download
buttons independently, and disable them on mobile.

### What does the analytics dashboard track?

Each copy and download is recorded so the Reports tab can show totals, top pages(
with quick links), top sections, and a daily activity chart. For each action it 
stores the page ID, page slug, page title, the section ID, the user ID (if logged
in), the visitor IP address, and a timestamp. By default the IP is **anonymized**(
you can switch to full or off in settings). Records older than 180 days are automatically
deleted, and you can export the full log to CSV from the Reports tab.

### How do I clear or reset the analytics data?

Clearing is intentionally locked down so it can’t be wiped by accident. Add `define('
LIVE_COPY_ALLOW_CLEAR', true );` to your `wp-config.php`, then a **Clear data** 
button appears on the Reports tab. Without that constant the button stays disabled(
and the action is blocked on the server too). Exporting to CSV is always available.

### Do the buttons work on mobile?

By default they are hidden on mobile for a clean experience and to prevent accidental
taps. You can change this in settings. They work great on desktop and tablet.

### Will it work with full-page caching?

Yes. The plugin verifies a security token (nonce) on every request. If a cached 
page serves an expired token, the script silently fetches a fresh one and retries,
so copy and download keep working.

### Does it slow down my site?

No. Assets load only on the frontend, only for users allowed to see the buttons,
and not at all on mobile when disabled. Nothing loads in the WordPress admin area
for visitors.

### Is it translation ready?

Yes. All strings are internationalized and a `.pot` file is included.
