# WordPress link issue

 * It happened for a while.
 * Whenever I place a link in a post, if the url link to other site is also running
   wordpress, the link automatically transfer into a box with a description.
 * example:
 * [http://dailycaller.com/2016/09/06/obstruction-of-justice-chaffetz-requests-independent-review-of-fbi-evidence/](http://dailycaller.com/2016/09/06/obstruction-of-justice-chaffetz-requests-independent-review-of-fbi-evidence/)
 * It will automatically transfer into this a box with a short description. It clickable
   tho. but I don’t like it. I had to hyperlink it so I will remain the same as 
   the url. non wordpress site link is fine.
 * What the hell was that, and how can I disable this function. It happened in a
   major upgrade in wordpress, I forgot which version.

 * Hi, [@davikk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davikk/). What you’re describing
   sounds like the [embeds feature added in 4.4](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/10/28/new-embeds-feature-in-wordpress-4-4/).
 * If you don’t like this feature, you could use the [Disable Embeds plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-embeds/).
