How do I stop WP inserting random "http://" into the text of my post?
-
I have an example that states “ping http://www.example.com” However, worpress wants to turn this into “ping http://www.example.com” WHICH IS WRONG. How do I stop WP doing this? I have a blog that I can’t publish until this is solved. I’ve already tried putting it in
ping www.example.com
but it still changes it to http://example.com
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

OMG I can’t even post my question without it getting screwed up!!!
Please look at the SOURCE of my question to be able to read it

Hi there,
What you can do is switch to the Text Editor and add this instead:
<a href="http://www.example.com" title="example.com">www.example.com</a>This will make the link into: http://www.example.com without the http:// in front.
Cheers!

Grace – thanks for your suggestion. I did think of doing that, but then it still appears as a link. I don’t want a “href”. To illustrate, I’ll use commas instead of periods.
Your suggestion will make my text appear as:
ping www.example.com
I want it to appear (replacing commas with periods)
ping www,example,com
Is WordPress competing with Apple in the “we-know-what-you-want-better-than-you-do” stakes by FORCING me to use links when I don’t want to? I HOPE there is a way of overriding the default behaviour – I really thought that I really thought that
...
tags SHOULD have done the job.

Hi there,
There are two things you can do. You can just take out the www. so instead of http://www.example.com, just put example.com.
If you want the www. there, select the link and instead of Paragraph, change it to Pre as seen here:

ARRRGH- This forum website is even more frustrating than writing a blog post. And it has no preview, so I don’t even know if what I’m about to say will even display.
I tried to explain in my last answer that I had used the Pre tags – but the stupid parser took out my reference to the pre tags, even though I had used the correct html names for the less-than and greater-than symbols around the tags (it is hard to write about stuff that you know is going to be stripped from your post as soon as you hit submit).
Anyway – I solved the problem. Here goes – if this does NOT turn out properly, I’ll do a blog post to explain more fully. (why doesn’t this forum have a preview?)
It turns out that you have to write http://www.example.com as www.example.com

Hurray! It worked.
