URL link from Airtable text field

    I’m trying to get a text field that is a url in Airtable to become a url link in WordPress and am running into issues.

    The column in Airtable is called “Registration Link”.

    I’ve tried several different configurations in the wordpress template but can’t get it to work. Typically is ends up putting the existing page in the link with “/%7B%7BRegistration%20Link” after it and producing a 404.

    This is the code I’m trying to use:
    [apr field=”Registration Link”]

    The link text appears correct on the page but when you click it the actual link is not properly configured. So it is indeed reading the field in the [apr field=”Registration Link”] part, but I must have something configured wrong in the “a href” portion.

    Any idea what I’m doing wrong or how I can fix this?

    This is very time sensitive so any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Again, I apologize for the tardy reply. I wish I was able to focus exclusively on this project.

    Here’s how to output links as links:

    [apr field="Link" wrapper='<a href="%s">The Link</a>']

    Take careful note of the types of quotes. WordPress is finicky about nested quotes.

    What if there is more than one link in the same text field record? For example, I have a large text field with several comma-separated URL’s in it for each record. This method doesn’t work for that. Is there a way to break them out as separate links?
