Convert Text Link to Clickable Hyperlink

in all honesty doing it as a plugin would be a better idea. If you do it in the template it would need to do it every time the page loads, if you do it as a plugin it could be made to run the code only when you post a story.

Hi coffear

Thanks for your reply, do you know of a good plugin for it, ive been searching and came across a few but not the idea im after?

Again Thank you

James

There is a plugin here- https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/auto-hyperlink-urls/ but it doesn’t quite work with WP 2.8

There is another one. It works quite well. https://www.semiologic.com/software/autolink-uri/

The answer has always been here! https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/make_clickable

<?php make_clickable( $ret ) ?>

No need for plugins.

How do I use the <?php make_clickable( $ret ) ?>

Where do I have to place it? I want my links on my post to be clickable w/o doing much html. Thanks

yes.. how to use it in the posts?
