   The website in question: http://fcssc.org/

   The issue is that the page that I've made the static front page has links to external website, yet when the page is loaded it adds the domain name in front of it. So, for example, http://www.cycleconway.com http://fcssc.org/cycleconway.com. This is not what the HTML view in the editor says.

   I should add that at one point, I had installed a plugin that would automatically make text URLs into hyperlinks. This plugin is no longer installed, and I can't imagine how it would still be affecting the page.

   Any ideas?

   you will have to look at the posts and edit them and correct the links - and dont use such plugins in future.

   i.e. correct the links manually in absense of the plugin - which prob did something which made the site work before - but without it - you need to reconfigure your links

   I've looked in the editor, HTML not visual, and the links look just fine. It's somewhere between the database and the displaying of the page that the links become changed. As I mentioned, the plugin is gone.

   My problem sounds exactly like this problem: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/209064?replies=3

   Maybe something is up with the newest WordPress version?

   Solved it. Also, I don't think it's the same as that other post I linked to any longer. The problem was that links without http:// were having the domain name substituted in front of them. Adding http:// before a http://www.whatever.com link solves that problem.
