Im importing tweets into a channel in my site. By looking at the entries (in the admin interface) I can see they come in as plain text. They have links in them, but not the mark up to make them into clickable links.

An example would be:
This is my first tweet. Come to mysite.com for more!

Im printing these in a template with:

{exp:channel:entries channel="twitter" limit="10" orderby="date" sort="desc" status="open" dynamic="no"}
{field_name}

{/exp:channel:entries}

I want the text to be plain text but currently the links are turned into actual clickable links. How can I stop this happening?

Thanks

If these are coming in as a channel entry there is a configuration in your channel/posting preferences that says “Automatically turn URLs and email addresses into links?”

Try setting that to no.

Fixed! Thanks
