  Hi Guys,i’m facing a little problem here,and i need your assistance from anyone that knows how to do it..thanks,
  please how can i Post a link as text without ‘http://’ showing on that text, because i intend posting archive files with password protected as my blog url(www.owninfo.wordpress.com) . but now when ever i type that in a post, when viewing the site it shows
  ‘http://’ alongside the link which gives a wrong password to my viewers..i’ve tried the ‘remove link’ function but not working..thanks

  Can you show me a specific example post or page where this is happening? That would make it easier for me to look into the problem.

  So, instead of just pasting the URL in there, you need to be a bit more specific with how you make your links.

  These instructions should help:

  Take a look through that page and let me know if you have any further questions. I’ll be happy to help.

  thats the issue,sir. i dont paste them, i simply type the password as a text,but on my site it displays with ‘http://’ tried all i could to remove the ‘http://’ from the password displayed on the site but to no avail..
  i type a password but the system includes ‘http://’ making it a wrong password.

  So the password you are typing is a URL?

  Is there any chance you could use a password that is not a URL? Like bluecar1234 or something along those lines? I can see how you’d be frustrated that this keeps turning into an http link, but in 99 other times out of 100, when people write a URL they want it to be a link.

  A stopgap solution is to surround that line with the [code] tag as I have done in your example. However, this may not be the optimum solution as it doesn't match with your site's general colors.

  I will see if I can come up with any other solutions.
