Event website links not working

[jschwartz]

When I enter a URL in the website field, the URL is displayed as text, but it’s not a link. http://www.dawnfarm.org/event/psychiatric-disorders-chemically-dependent-individuals-diagnostic-treatment-considerations

Sorry, I just wanted to ask to make sure it wasn’t a known bug before disabling plugins and changing themes.

Hi Jason, thanks for getting in touch! I’m guessing that you’ve created a new Additional Field there for the website URL (set up via Events > Settings > Additional Fields)?

Events Calendar PRO doesn’t actually know that this is a URL – it only knows that this is some additional text you have provided, so I wouldn’t really agree that this is a bug.

Give me a moment and I’ll see if I can think up a snippet of code to help you out here.

That would explain it. Thanks!

You could try adding this snippet in your theme’s functions.php file: http://pastebin.com/Z60AYYkM … I did a quick test and it seems to do the job, it does assume that the URLs all begin http:// or https:// though.

Thanks!
