Thread: Issue with Links

Issue with Links

When I visit a post in CP after the images section, I have a section called sponsored Links. What is that, how do I edit it? Right now it is acting as a link back to the same page, but opening in a new window.

Also any help on how to stop the URL: from showing http// when there is no website? The http:// is also acting as a link, but it goes no where- saying invalid url.

Thanks for your help,
Jax

The ads seen at the bottom of the CP ads are able to be set up by accessing the WP admin dashboard > ClassiPress > Configure. Scroll down to "Single Post Ad Spot" to set up or disable this section.

The http:// field being added was actually included in the last release of CP, but it has been a common issue which has come up. In the changelog you can see this information which can point you in the right direction to change it if you wish:
added new function to check for http:// in new ad URL field submission. If it's missing, automatically add it. (form_process.php line 41 & functions.php line 418)

Hey Pepsi,

Thanks for your help. I fixed the ad spot.

But the URL question, I still don't get it.

I saw this on the changelog:
-added new function to check for http:// in new ad URL field submission. If it's missing, automatically add it. (form_process.php line 41 & functions.php line 418)

I'm not sure what I'm looking for as far as code is concerned, how do I know if it's missing? I open up those pages, but I'm not sure if it's missing because I don't know what it looks like. And if it is missing what do I add?

Re: Issue with Links

The text in italics is just notes from the changelog, not actual instructions you need to follow. Sorry, I should have been clearer about that. My reason for pointing it out is because it indicates which files David has modified to make it so that the http:// appears automatically, hence can give you a clue how to reverse it (if you have the coding knowledge)..

I believe there are some others who have managed to make the changes, so perhaps someone can share this information with you.

Pepsi,

Thanks for the clarification. I'm new to a lot of this stuff, but excited to learn as I build my site.

If anyone else has input to help, please share.

Thanks
Jax

Re: Issue with Links

No problem

If this thread is missed by others due to it being in the theme support thread, you may wish to start a new one in "mods and tutorials" specifically for your http:// request as that is where customization posts go and someone else who has done it may be able to share. Thanks
