Great plugin until WP4.4
By 
This plugin has been a wonderful timesaver which I've used on many sites. However, it hasn't been updated for six years and seems to have come to its lifetime's end: in WordPress 4.4, it causes some picture captions to be replaced with code. It would be great if the developer tweaked it!
Changelog
1.1
- Added option to set the link target attribute.
1.0
- Initial version. Uses make_clickable function from bbPress 0.9.
