 * Hey guys,
 * maybe i’m missing something here but i couldn’t find any setting.
 * When I use the “www” field for people to add their website you have to always
   type in the url with a http:// wich is pretty awkward for somebody who doesn’t
   have much to do with the internet.
 * Is there a setting i have missed or is this an issue that i can maybe fix somehow?
 * Thx in advance,
    Phil

 * Hi Phil.
 * I tool a peek at MailChimp’s documentation regarding field types, and I can’t
   find any information on validating and autoformtting the “website” field.
 * Here is their article: [http://kb.mailchimp.com/lists/managing-subscribers/manage-list-and-signup-form-fields](http://kb.mailchimp.com/lists/managing-subscribers/manage-list-and-signup-form-fields)
 * It just says:
 * > **Website**
   >  Subscribers provide a full URL. This field type generates the 
   > HTML code for a link.
 * You may want to ask their support if there is any auto formatting that happens
   when people enter a URL into this field or if it is just plain text.
 * I hope this is helpful.
 * Thank you!

 * Hi Phil,
 * This is actually a check put into place by the HTML5 input field when the type
   parameter is set to URL.
 * [http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/input.url.html](http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/input.url.html)
 * I am working on a new release which will have a fix in place for this. Ideally,
   when a user entered a URL to a site that doesn’t contain [http://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-with-website-field/?output_format=md),
   the plugin will now append http:// to the beginning of the URL so that the form
   can be submit properly.
 * Keep an eye out for the update at some point this week.
 * Evan

 * Hi Phil,
 * I’m closing out this ticket, because we’ve added the fix for this to the next
   update of the plugin that is coming out soon.
 * Thank you for bringing this to out attention!
