Make static link a *hyperlink* in posts. Possible?

Uh, you’d have to look at the plugin or whatever is making the post, but wrapping it like <a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=39.5276,-119.7011&ie=UTF8&z=12&om=1">GeoTag</a> should work.

The post is being made by an automated sattelite tracking thing that is sending a plain text email to wp-mail. It won’t come with any html tags etc.

Me wondering if there is a way to identify a link and wrap it (as you suggets or similar) after-the the fact …either in wp-mail or in the blog sofware as it gets posted?

Try adding this to your theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter('the_content', 'make_clickable',9);

Otto42, you are my hero!! That worked like a dream!!

Thank you so much ..this has added a ton of functionality to my blog.

So, is there a way to have this link come up in a new windows as to not take people from the blog??

Putting it in a new window is not as simple. You need javascript to do that sort of thing properly, and anyway it’s generally not recommended and considered poor form.

re: New window

If not as simple, I’ll forget about it.
BTW …poor form is one of my strengths ??

GREAT help here, thanks! Marking “resolved” ..renojohn
