    Hello,

    Users get a warning saying they need to enter full web url including http:// this is quite annoying.

    Is there a way we can get around this? Either already adding http:// as default or removing that from being required?

    Screen shot attached.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello,

    in this case users must enter a full URL so it can be used as a link on the front end.

    There is not a way to disable it, but if you don’t need an active URL you could make the field inactive and add a text field instead.

    Okay, I need the url to link unfortunately but just need a way for the input box to start with http:// as default and then they type the rest in as usual, is there no way of doing this then? even with customisation?

    Like even when I am testing i get annoyed having to go to the website to copy the full url and im just testing so can imagine it would be annoying for our users

    No that is not possible, because there is no way of knowing who wants HTTPS:// and who wants HTTP://
    Just using one of the two always will create a lot of bad links.

    Thanks
