 * Hi,
 * I’m new to wordpress.
    I am using custom fields in front end editor to make posts.
   Whenever i enter a link with https protocol it automatically adds http protocol
   before https and “[https://www.facebook.com&#8221](https://www.facebook.com&#8221);
   BECOMES “[http://https://www.facebook.com&#8221](http://https://www.facebook.com&#8221);
   in post.
 * Custom field code in front end editor:
 *     ```
       <input type="text" name="website" id="website" class="textfield" value="<?php echo esc_attr(stripslashes($website)); ?>" size="25"  />
       ```
   
 * $website is custom field
 * code for retrieving custom field value in post:
 * `<a href="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID,'website',true);?>" target="_blank"
   >Some Text</a>`
