Hi,

I’m having an issue with Simple:Press not making clickable url automatically on all URLs.

For example:

http://placehold.it

some text http://placehold.it

 http://placehold.it

 

If there’s any character or text in front of the URL it’s not changing in to a clickable URL automatically. Is this something that can be fixed? This is causing some usability issues on our forum, certainly on mobile where you have to select the whole url, open a new tab and paste it instead of just clicking the link.

Hey,

There is an issue with the tinyMCE editor which has a ticket raised for them to investigate and hopefully fix soon. Basically using Chrome, a space before a typed URL is showing up as a non-breaking space, and breaking the link. Just out of interest – which browser are you using? have you tried in other browsers?

And of course, are you fully up to date i.e – WP, SP, plugins?
