WordPress adding site url to external link... (2 posts)

    I have an external link in the format "blahblah.com/blah" in wordpress I add the link to the page by typing <a href="blahblah.com/blah">blah</a> But when I publish, the link comes out "http://www.mysite.com/blahblah.com/blah". Why is WordPress adding the site url? Is there any way to get it so it won't do that? I realize I should add "http://www" to the link, but for some unknown reason, the external site only works the other way. Thanks for any help!

    Try adding http:// to the link (no www). Some sites don't work with the www.
