A while back, I wrote about this amazing WordPress function that auto-links content in custom fields.
Up until today, I never had a reason to use it on regular, old WordPress content (i.e. the_content).
It turns out that you need to filter the_content function rather than wrap it in the make_clickable() function like we did with custom fields.
So, the solution is to add the following to your theme’s functions.php file:
// Make hyperlinks clickable even if the user doesn't add the html markup
add_filter( 'the_content', 'make_clickable', 12 );
We use the priority of “12” so that it runs after shortcodes and other formatting stuff that naturally happens on the_content.
Pretty cool, eh?
Thanks to BetterWP.net for this solution.

How to style FacetWP checkbox hierarchy results using jQuery
I recently invested many hours trying to target and style a FacetWP taxonomy facet that uses hierarchy for display. It should be noted that you can use straight up CSS for some styling (and should use css wherever possible), but sometimes you need javascript to target parent elements and such. I thought I’d document the…
How to fix SpinupWP ballooning disk space issue
A site we host on Digital Ocean recently went down. It took me a lot of troubleshooting and digging before realizing that the issue was that our disk space was maxed out on Digital Ocean. The site in question needs ~20gb of space, so our 50gb server should be plenty. But alas, there it was…
