 * Hello. First of all, thanks for this great plugin.
 * I have a question. I am using a custom field to get a website address. So, in
   the meta I set this:
 * <?php
 * $url = get_field(‘site’);
 * ?>
    <p>Website: <?php if( $url ): ?>“><?php endif; ?> <?php the_field(‘site’)?
   > <?php if( $url ): ?>
   <?php endif; ?></p>
 * The problem is that when the link appears, repeats the root url of my own website:
 * **[http://localhost/wordpress/](http://localhost/wordpress/)**site_url/
 * What I am doing wrong? Or is my wp config?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi Fransisco, I’m having the same issue with the external link. Could you let
   me know how you fixed it?
 * Thanks,
