Glad to help.
Where or how exactly are you getting hyperlinked URLs? On the front-end post? Is it via the Auto-Display settings? Or some other method, like in email alerts? Please be descriptive and help me to understand the context, so I can try to provide accurate information asap, thank you.
Front end user posts something and includes a website address, on the post itself it has a hyperlinked “URL” rather than the actual website address the user submitted. Example link below
So the linked URL is displayed via the plugin’s Auto-Display URL setting, correct?
Thanks.
So currently the plugin provides three placeholder variables for the URL setting:
%%url%%
%%author%%
%%title%%The url variable displays the submitted URL, the author variable displays the author, and title displays the post title. There is not a variable that displays the site name, mainly because there is not a field for it, so how would the plugin know which name to use.
As a workaround, something generic like “visit site” or similar could be used as the anchor text, for example in the Auto-Display plugin setting:
<p><a href="https://projectdmc.org/support/topic/how-to-make-url-the-actual-website-text/%%url%%">Visit site</a></p>I hope this helps, let me know if I can provide any further information.
