Naked URLs to live links

Description

Naked URLs to live links Plugin contains:

  • The plugin’s fuctionality is enabled by adding a filter to the content
  • The plugin does damage if the post(page) content has embeded code or Javascript
  • For this reason, the plugin checks for two words – ‘iframe’ and ‘text/javascript’. If the post contains any of them, the plugin functionality won’t be applied to this post(page).
  • Supported characters in the URL addresses: */.?_^%$*#!~+-
  • The comments in the plugin contains detailed explanation how the code works. That makes adding additional functionality easy for the webmasters.

Known issues:

  • If any of the naked URL address is a link to a video, this will disable the plugin for this post(page).
    Examples: Ted videos, YouTube, Vimeo clips
  • If you have embedded code for YouTube & Vimeo clips(via iframe or via a media embedding WordPress plugin), that won’t affect Naked URLs to live links plugin.

Screenshots

  • The plugin turns list of naked URL addresses into list with live links
