When the body of a comment linked to a Wordpress post has a @mention, #place, or image. The resulting links are relative and that breaks links in the comment. This causes crawlers to choke and other issues. Is there a way to fix this? Example: <div class="comment-content"><p>Hi <a class="mention" …

Relative URLs in images and mentions are supposed to be converted to absolute URLs by the plugin, but there are issues with the way it’s doing it. Mention URLs are being converted to absolute URLs with javascript - this isn’t going to work for crawlers, Image URLs are being converted to absolute URL…

It works, no more regular expressions! The fix depends on the php-xml extension being loaded on the server. Generally it is, but if not, the plugin will fall back to it’s old method. I’ll let you know when it gets pushed to the WordPress repo. It will be sometime tomorrow.
