# Title link not rendering properly

 * Hi,
 * Not sure what’s happened but the title links are not rendering properly…
    The
   thumbnail hyperlink is ok and so is the one that includes the website address
   as the text. But the hyperlink for the actual title (website name) has an extra
   http:// at the beginning, so it doesn’t work.

 * Any ideas?

 * Hi Mark,
 * Sorry but WordPress doesn’t notify us of new posts here so just now saw it. It
   looks like you fixed the issue. Since we haven’t seen that before, would you 
   care to share your solution for the benefit of others?
 * Thank you!

 * Hi,
 * The issue was me not reading instructions properly! If you don’t add the “[http://&#8221](http://&#8221);
   to the start of the web address in the Website URL box, it causes the error as
   shown above – two links work fine but the third doesn’t.
 * There doesn’t seem to be a function that catches this user mistake (i.e. if someone
   forgets to put it in and just adds something like ‘www.example.com’) so you have
   to rely on people following the instructions as shown.

 * Hi Mark,
 * Thanks for posting your update. It might help others as well. We’ll see about
   getting a function added to catch that mistake in any case.
