Disable automatic content hyperlinking

Question

How can I prevent WordPress from converting links in my page content into hyperlinks?

For example if I write http://www.test.com I don't want it converted to a link.

Answer 1

WordPress does not automatically convert URLs to hyperlinks.

Answer 2

It's the Editor TinyMCE's embed plugin to disable it you will also need to disable all other embeds (twitter, images, youtube, etc)

If you still want to proceed, then enter this code in your theme's functions.php

function disable_embeds_code_init() {
wp_deregister_script('wp-embed');
 add_filter( 'tiny_mce_plugins', 'disable_embeds_tiny_mce_plugin' );
}
add_action( 'init', 'disable_embeds_code_init', 11 );
