Hash Tags Should be More Website-ish

    I wonder that most of the people who use hasgtags on insta or twitter would not have this problem, but it is a problem on website. You want to use hasgtags but also want them to be readbale words. I mean like if you have to tag a phrase or 3-4 words you can’t have space between.

    Could their be a way that after adding Hashtag, it registers everything written after it as a tag, untill enter is pressed, and enter does not take you to next line it just finishes the tag.

    Also to symbolise a continued tag, it should keep getting underlined while typing till enter is pressed, so that people know what is registered as a tag

    Sorry but “readable” words are not possible on any website that uses hashtags. That’s why I will not support it with my plugin. You can always link any text manually at any time.

    To mark hashtags while typing is definitely a good idea and I have often thought about it. Currently, the analysis of the text and the processing of hashtags happens when saving a post. All this is done on the server and not in the browser, which of course has advantages for the performance. Perhaps I add this in a future version, but I’m not sure yet.

    Well that is great from your side. Thanks that you are taking marking of tags into consideration, you may make a option to choose UX(Yes Marking) or Performance (No Marking)

    Also can you make a option to add the Hashtags in Tiny MCE Text Editor, to solve my problem, or if possible help me code a way to select start and end of Hashtags.

    And their is a stupid issue from my side also, your NameTags, are awesome idea, but they don’t link to the profile on my website, they just show up @username a normal text and not link. May be this is because I use Ultimate Member Plugin, which creates it’s own user profiles. Is their anyway to have the tags linked that too, to the Ultimate member page, which is Milyin.com/user

    Thanks, and appreciate your work, kept coming back to your plugin, after trying all of plugins.

    Or if you do not want to add spaces can you add spaces internally before each capital alphabet. For example if we type #ElonMusk then the tag wouod automatically become Elon Musk. Add a space before each capital other than first. I think it is a apt and easy solution. Please look into it
