Otherwise it's just text.</p> <p>Can you post the code in your template that is displaying this field for you? It might just need a small modification. You will not have to do this manually for each post. We need to make a change so it happens automatically every time. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/problems-with-html-coding-and-url-field#post-35576 Sat, 17 Sep 2011 17:44:10 +0000 Westendweb 35576@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>have in my custom template integrates a URL field, but in the post the link is not actice. is not that the point of a URL field, that the link in the output is active then?<br /> I mean I'd already asked this question once, but can not even find the topic ... :)</p> <p>So at the moment I have to activate links manually. To do this, I turn to the post editor to "Visual", and suddenly some of the formatting which I have stored in the custom template disappeared. I´m missing div´s, breaks and returns, and occasionally I also have a space where I do not want to have.</p> <p>Gravity Forms forcing me to activate links manually, and if I do that, my code is destroyed. with one new post a week is not really bad, but I have bigger things before.</p> <p>Where is the magic button to fix this problem?<br /> Or have you fix it in 1.6 Version?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Westendeb </p>
