Cant add http to my custom links

Thanks for a great plugin.

In the Prepend URL Text, in the custom links section of the plugin, I seem unable to add http:// to the text field. When I do this I’m redirected to a ‘nothing found page’.

I have a lot of plugins installed, so if this is not a reported problem, I would rather not have to disable all the plugins. Is there a text file or place in the SQL where I can manually add the http://

Heres a link. If you scroll down to the user profile, the social link to amazon or book don’t work.

The bizarre thing is I have used a prepend of ‘www.’ whilst trying to sort this out. This actually works on my author pages

Luke,

I’m not sure exactly what you mean by not being able to put in http:// What happens when you do so?

When I look at the link you have for Amazon it is:

http://micropoetry.com/amazon.co.uk/Individualist-Style-Volume-1-ebook/dp/B005MSOIJO

Try putting http://amazon.co.uk/ as the prepend and have the user put in Individualist-Style-Volume-1-ebook/dp/B005MSOIJO in their profile for Amazon.

Let me know if that works for you.

Sorry that doesn’t work 🙁

When I type the phrase ‘http://’ to the custom links and press submit, I am taken to a nothing found page. I don’t see the message saying ‘options save’.

I imagine that there is a conflict with another plugin, but as I have many plugins, I wanted to know if there was another way to add the http? Via ftp or editing a file.

I can send you seperate email in case you want to look at the backend of the website.

Regards

Luke

If you scroll to the very bottom of the Custom Links page you will see a save changes button. Have you filled out the fields for a custom link and then clicked save?

If so, can you send me a link to a screen shot showing the custom link fields?

Send me an email with credentials to connect to the backend and I’ll take a look.

This has been resolved. Was not able to determine root cause, I think it had to be another interfering plugin. Was able to use // instead of http:// and all worked fine.
