    If I post in twitter and past a URL, it auto shortens it and makes it clickable.

    How can I do this in my WP?

    You could write a content_save_pre filter to find and modify the URL. Probably not a super easy job, though.

    Thanks for the reply, I kind of thought it would be quite involved.

    However I did find a plugin to turn text URLs in to HREFs.

    So that’s a solution to one part of my problem.

    Thanks for the tip. If you can give me a couple examples of how you need the url shortened, it might be possible to tweak the code in the plugin to do that also.
