# Issue with URL’s missing http: or https:

 * When a URL is added without specifying http: or https:, (eg: //twitter.com/user),
   base URL is added before ([https://www.example.com//twitter.com/user](https://www.example.com//twitter.com/user))
   rendering it not found.
 * I think if a link starts with // then it should be ignored.

 * [@ublac](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ublac/), thanks for noting this.
   I took your suggestion and urls prefixed with // are now ignored when displaying
   content. Update is in version 1.5.3.
