Want an easier way to add links to Twitter user pages? Here’s a quick solution.
Add the following code to your functions.php file within your theme folder…
add_filter('the_content', 'link_to_twitter'); function link_to_twitter($content) { $start=strpos($content,"[@"); while ($start!=0) { $code=substr($content,$start+2,strpos($content,"]",$start)-$start-2); $content=str_replace("[@".$code."]",'<a href="http://twitter.com/'.$code.'" target="_blank">@'.$code.'</a>',$content); $start=strpos($content,"[@",$end); } return $content; }
Now, you simply need to simply specify a Twitter username within square brackets and it will be replaced with the same username, but now with a link to Twitter.
For example, add [@dartiss] to your post and it will display as @dartiss.
