WP: WYSIWYG url issue

[Cormac]

this is happening to myself and to one of my friends....when i add a link in a post sometimes it appears as

http://cormacmoylan.com/blog/www.webaddress.com

instead of WWW.WEBADDRESS.COM

Does anyone know the reason for this?

How are you adding the link?

 

[Cormac]

i'm simply highlighting the text in question and then i click on the link button and then add in my link

The only thing I can think of is that you are missing out the http bit when you paste it in..

Yep I think that's it - leaving out the http:// makes wordpress think it is a relative rather than absolute URL. It then parses in your blog address to turn the relative into an absolute URL.
