Automatically add hyperlinks to comments WordPress
- SOLVED
I'd like to automatically add hyperlinks to comments that people leave on my posts. For example: http://interactiveblend.com/blog/creative/rebound-and-win-a-dribbble-invite
Is there a setting to turn of or something I can add to functions.php?

i don't understand what you want...
Louis Gubitosi comments:
for example, someone added text : http://cl.ly/0A2M1v3T163o3A0S4709 but it is not linking. Instead of having to copy the text into my broswer, can I make this an active link?
Sébastien | French WordpressDesigner comments:
it's automatic
Louis Gubitosi comments:
not on my site...
Sébastien | French WordpressDesigner comments:
if you type http://toto.com in the textarea of comment, you have an active link in the publish comment
Sébastien | French WordpressDesigner comments:
that's your site : http://interactiveblend.com/blog/creative/rebound-and-win-a-dribbble-invite
Sébastien | French WordpressDesigner comments:
in the code of oleg, replace
function get_comment_text($comment)
by
function get_comment_text_custom($comment)

Oleg Butuzov comments:
add_filter('get_comment_text', 'get_comment_text_custom');
function get_comment_text($comment){
if (preg_match_all("/http:\/\/(.*?) /si", $comment.' ', $matches)){
foreach($matches[0] as $k=>$i){
$comment = str_replace($i, '<a href="'.$i.'">'.$i.'</a>', $comment);
}
}
return $comment;
}
into your functions.php (simple example)
Louis Gubitosi comments:

Oleg Butuzov comments:

Louis Gubitosi comments:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_comment_text() (previously declared in /home/content/32/3864832/html/blog/wp-includes/comment-template.php:598) in /home/content/32/3864832/html/blog/wp-content/themes/minimalism/functions.php on line 29
Oleg Butuzov comments:
just rename my function from get_comment_text to get_comment_text_custom
Louis Gubitosi comments:
didnt kill the site, but new error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function my_get_avatar_filter() in /home/content/32/3864832/html/blog/wp-content/themes/minimalism/comments.php on line 36
Oleg Butuzov comments:
sorry man this isn't my function.... my_get_avatar_filter -relates to some external avatar function...
add_filter('get_comment_text', 'get_comment_text_custom');
function get_comment_text_custom($comment){
if (preg_match_all("/http:\/\/(.*?) /si", $comment.' ', $matches)){
foreach($matches[0] as $k=>$i){
$comment = str_replace($i, '<a href="'.$i.'">'.$i.'</a>', $comment);
}
}
return $comment;
}
Louis Gubitosi comments:
thanks, no error this time but the links aren't there: http://interactiveblend.com/blog/creative/rebound-and-win-a-dribbble-invite
Oleg Butuzov comments:
i did test function before post, sorry. its alreay cost 4$.
i think the comment shown without default filter. why? have no idea.. its can be also shown as $comment->comment_text; intested comment_text();...
but the function isn't working, nothing triggering it... if you want me to change the install it and chack whats wrong, increase a prize and provide access to the server.

Open your themes functions.php file and add following code inside that file at the end just before closing ?> php tag
add_filter( 'comment_text', 'make_clickable',9 );
