WordPress Automatic Links plugin

2009-03-04 10:58pm by Ann

Here’s a super simple WordPress plugin that automatically adds HTML anchor tags to plain text links and email addresses embedded in the content of posts and pages (WordPress already does this by default for comments). It also gives you the option to set the nofollow attribute value on all automatically generated hyperlinks.

Download this plugin at WordPress.org.

    Love the plug-in, many thanks for making it available, Ann. Am a WordPress and website-building newby and your plug in saved me a lot of headache.

    One question: it worked really well – all email addresses and URLs were linked and underlined – and now they are all still linked, but appear in white and bold. I cannot figure out what happened? Could it be that installing the latest WordPress version caused this? What can I do to change to underlined style? At the moment it is not apparent on my site that the info is linked. http://www.cavalletticommunications.com

    Can you help at all? Many thanks!!!

    Theres one problem with this plugin, when you already have al link it makes a link of it to. If you for an example have a image with a lik around, it will remove that link and make a text link of the url iafter href=” so the image no more is a ink.

    EDIT:

    I found a solution for the problem. The problem only affect absolue links with www ore ftp in the beginning. Relative links is ok!
