    Hello team,

    The Website field that should accept a valid URL raises an error if the URL doesn’t start with the scheme (http, https).

    Can you please update your validation rules to accept such URLs?
    Like: facebook.com, https://www.facebook.com

    Best Regards,

    Hello @abazeed

    I hope you’re well today!

    Strictly speaking, a valid URL has to contain “scheme” or, at least, be “protocol-relative” (but that makes it impossible to know whether it actually is a website URL or e.g. FTP URL).

    You can, however, disable validation and that will let visitors use addresses without scheme.

    Kind regards,
    Adam

    Hello @wpmudev-support8,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I do agree with you, but instead of disabling the validation, we can have an option to bypass the scheme.

    I tried to disable the validation but still need to use the full URL! Is it a bug?

    Hello there @abazeed

    I just tested that and the Website validation doesn’t return any error if I use
    https://example.com
    or
    example.com

    I tried to disable the validation but still need to use the full URL! Is it a bug?

    Can you please let me know how you test this? As I wasn’t able to replicate.

    Warm regards,
    Dimitris
