[Plugin: Simple Tags] Autolink not working

I’m having the same problem – anyone found a solution to this yet?

I found the fix!!!!

in simple-tags/inc/client.php

look for this code:

function autoLinkTags( $content = '' ) {
		// Get currents tags if no exists
		if ( $this->link_tags == 'null' ) {
			$this->prepareAutoLinkTags();
		}

and add in the following line of code right after:

$link_tags = $this->link_tags;

Same problem here after update to 1.7.4.4.

@sammyb,

Ohmigosh. Thanks so much for that fix!

SammyB you rock, plugin Author is a joke trying to get a hold of!

Awesome! Thanks for the fix.

Thanks For THe fix

Autolinking is working now, but it links every instance of a tag in a post. Is there a way to limit the autolinking to the first instance? Or can this feature be added to Simple Tags?

I don’t think this fix works at all, nor does it make sense, because $link_tags isn’t being used anywhere else in the function.

I get a different result every time I refresh a post page. The maximum number of links seems to be affected by changing the setting, but after refreshing the page, I get different links and there are often more of them than I’ve configured. Also, valid links are not created.

This has been going on since about 2 versions ago and I’m now on 1.8 (WP 3.0).

I’ve found the author on Twitter and sent him a message. I think for a great free plugin, we really shouldn’t be complaining about him too much.
