   I've searched for this, but didn't see any kind of direct answer.

   I user creates a profile, the system automatically assign http:// to the author url. I can't get it to delete. Any comment they then leave has the "visis [author]" alt text appear and tries to link to the http:///.

   Any idea why the system forces the http: when the user leaves it blank?
   Any work around?

   Thanks!

   Discovered that this is a documented bug in the system.

   I just went into the mysql wp_users table and deleted the http://. It'll stay removed until you update the options in the WP Admin. Not the best solution, of course, but it works. ;)

   Maybe a suggestion, but why not create an about the author page on your blog and point the author url to it?

   Hi,

   This is a followup to this post, is there some static variable to test for this? Like, <?php if($the_author_url) : ?> or some such?

   Thanks,
