How to make all links in a post clickable

Posted in: Newspaper

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to make all links in a post clickable without having to make each one a link with the link icon in the editor. Similar to the function make_clickable ( string $text ).

Is there a setting in the theme for this? Or do I need to update/modify the loop-single.php file in a child theme or something similar?

Thanks,
Jeff

Well, normally in a post you would wrap anchor links on words or visible URLs in HTML links as per normal writing with HTML … meaning typing normal My Cool Link

However, if you are not comfortable actually writing HTML …
there are some plugins on WordPress.org —

a) one of them makes all visible links into live links without having to do them manually —

Auto-hyperlink URLs

b) the other one makes all external links into “rel=nofollow” which we need for some sites where we have press releases but not original text (meaning, we make the press releases, but google requires all press release text to be rel=nofollow)

WP External Links

///they are on wordpress.org if you do a search.
