I have a directory site built at hidden link with toolset. one of the fields is a URL field which displays not the front end.

in this field if you type a URL like: "www.example.com" it will save. and if you click on this link on the front end, it will take you to "hidden link" why is this?

here is an example, look at the "Thermal Care" line on this page: hidden link

here is a one-click log in link: staging.ashrae.cloudsend.us/wp-admin/?wtlwp_token=b46b7f2a0eca0f9aa3da8dfe28d28964

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

The issue was that with your custom field "manufacturers-website" it contains http or https or no host for many URLs that is why you see this issue.

I've added the following code to "Custom Code" section offered by Toolset:
hidden link

add_shortcode( 'display_website_url', 'func_show_website_url');
function func_show_website_url($atts){
global $post;
   
  $atts['url'] = get_post_meta($atts['post_id'],'wpcf-manufacturers-website',true);
   
  
  $url = parse_url($atts['url']);
  if(!isset($url['scheme'])){
    return "//".$url['path'];
  }else{
    return  $atts['url'];
  }
 
 
}

And called the above shortcode within your view:
=> hidden link

<a href="[display_website_url post_id='[wpv-post-id]']" target='_blank' rel="noopener noreferrer"> [types field='manufacturers-website' output='raw'][/types] </a>

I can see now it works as expected. Can you please confirm.
