Links not working

    I purchased the Pro version earlier today to take advantage of custom fields.

    All seems to work well except two where I am using a custom field to insert a link. The link is shown as including the custom fields name.

    I am using;

    Source: [scf-post-field name=”Source name”]

    Could it be because I am using ” ” around the shortcode?

    Many thanks

    Sorry, I should make it clear that the code that I am having difficulty with is

    Source: <a href="[scf-post-field name="Source link"]">[scf-post-field name="Source name"]</a>

    In particular the Source link shortcode. The Source name is displayed correctly but the link is to a non-existent page on my own site which ends with the shortcode name.

    Thanks

    Yes, probably you should not use the “same” quotes within the quotes. For example, double quotes within double quotes, or single quotes within single quotes.

    You should use it like:

    
Source: <a href="[scf-post-field name='Source link']">[scf-post-field name="Source name"]</a>

    Notice the single quotes used to wrap shortcode attribute, in href tag. The other one is fine, since it is not wrapped in any outer quotes.
