I copy and paste a news article which has links written in the news article but when I post it, every link doesn't work and is surrounded by BB Code. Then I have to go and individually delete and re-write the words to the link. I do not want to make all my users do this. How do I fix this?
Links not working in copy and paste.

Which article you tried? I tried copying and pasting a wikipedia article into a post and links seem to work fine (based on the Preview). -
I tried the following article.
Burj Khalifa (Arabic: برج خليفة, "Khalifa tower"), known as Burj Dubai prior to its inauguration, is a skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and is the tallest man-made structure in the world, at 829.8 m (2,722 ft).[3][8]
Construction began on 21 September 2004, with the exterior of the structure completed on 1 October 2009. The building officially opened on 4 January 2010,[1][9] and is part of the new 2 km2 (490 acres) development called Downtown Dubai at the 'First Interchange' along Sheikh Zayed Road, near Dubai's main business district. The tower's architecture and engineering were performed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill of Chicago, with Adrian Smith as chief architect, and Bill Baker as chief structural engineer.[10][11] The primary contractor was Samsung C&T of South Korea.[12]
In March 2009, Mohamed Ali Alabbar, chairman of the project's developer, Emaar Properties, said office space pricing at Burj Khalifa reached US$4,000 per sq ft (over US$43,000 per m²) and the Armani Residences, also in Burj Khalifa, sold for US$3,500 per sq ft (over US$37,500 per m²).[13] He estimated the total cost for the project to be about US$1.5 billion.[2]
The project's completion coincided with the global financial crisis of 20072012, and with vast overbuilding in the country; this led to high vacancies and foreclosures.[14] With Dubai mired in debt from its huge ambitions, the government was forced to seek multibillion dollar bailouts from its oil-rich neighbor Abu Dhabi. Subsequently, in a surprise move at its opening ceremony, the tower was renamed Burj Khalifa, said to honour the UAE President Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan for his crucial support.[8][15]
Because of the slumping demand in Dubai's property market, the rents in the Burj Khalifa plummeted 40% some ten months after its opening. Out of 900 apartments in the tower, 825 were still empty at that time.[16][17] However, over the next two and a half years, overseas investors steadily began to purchase the available apartments and office space in Burj Khalifa.[18] By October 2012, Emaar reported that around 80% of the apartments were occupied.[19]
Edit: OK, so it's working on here but it is not working on my site my site shows bb code and not the links.Comment

Please upgrade your site to 5.0.4. You stated in another thread that you're using 5.0.1 and there have been hundreds of bug fixes (more than 1000 actually) since then.Translations provided by Google.
