  Hi

  Is there anyway to prevent http link from actually turning into links. I want it to remain as plain text. I want this for the following post:

  http://wp.me/p4la8z-3t

  If you look at my code samples, the text values have been converted to links. I don’t want this to happen.

  Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The “Pre” tags will break the code text

  Hi there,

  We have a function which will allow you to post source code on WordPress.com. You can read about it and its various operators right here:

  Let me know if you have any questions!

  Thank you for your response.

  Yes I know about that function. But is there a way to prevent the text from converting to links in my current posts?

  Oh, I see! I apologize for re-treading a path you’ve already taken.

  We do not have the ability to turn off the built-in functionality which automatically converts URLs in to hyperlinks. You could always leave out the “http://”, however if you are including these URLs in code I cannot imagine that this would be a functional solution.

  I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more help!
