Hi!
Is there a way to disable the the auto-linking of URLs in comments? I found out, that every link within a comment automatically gets the class "wpforo-auto-embeded-link" which seems to being set by the function "wpforo_content_filter" and there this specific code within the functions.php:
if( apply_filters( 'wpforo_auto_embed_link', true, $post ) ) {
$content = preg_replace(
'#([^\'\"]|^)(https?://[^\s\'\"<>\[\]]+)([^\'\"]|$)#iu',
'$1 <a class="wpforo-auto-embeded-link" href="$2" target="_blank">$2</a> $3',
(string) $content
);
}
I couldn't find an option to disable this functionality but would really like to do so.
Does anyony have any hints on this to me?
Kind regards
Olli
Hi,
You can use the hook-code below:
add_filter( 'wpforo_auto_embed_link', '__return_false' );
