Turn raw url into clickable links

Question

I have a custom field that contains a bunch of urls in it. I want them to be clickable links in that custom field only. How can I do this? I could just manually convert them to html links but that's too time consuming for 100+ links

Answer 1

Use the function make_clickable():

$text = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'my_key', TRUE );
echo make_clickable( $text );
