 * The plugin did the job.
 * **BUT…**
 * When you create a link that goes to an external site there is a major issue.
 * **EXAMPLE:**
 * 1st – Creating a link like on the backend …
 * [https://google.com/](https://google.com/)
 * 2nd – After it is saved, it gets stripped within the BACKEND to look like…
 * //search.google.com
 * 3rd – Which then causes the link on the FRONT-END to execute as…
 * [https://mywebsitename.com/https://search.google.com](https://mywebsitename.com/https://search.google.com)
 * **Which will cause a 404 error.**
 * Look forward to your reply.
