Absolute URLs changed to relative URLs automatically

This has been frustrating me for a while. I create a V2 text element and type in the HTML panel in the left-hand side, inserting absolute URLs for various links. Everything works fine.

I go back in and make an edit to the text somewhere in that element, but edit directly inside the element rather than in the editor on the left-hand side, and it changes ALL of my links to relative URLs which breaks many of them because I’m working on a page that is a sub-page and it adds in that sub page TWICE by making it relative. For example, I would add in a URL that is example.com/sub/hello put that in there as an absolute URL. When it goes to RELATIVE URLS, it leave in the subpage for the relative URL (ie …/sub/hello) so the full URL is now example.com/sub/sub/hello which of course breaks.

Why does it do that? Can’t it leave alone what I’ve put in there? This has caused me problems many times because I don’t always remember it does that and I end up with broken links all over the sites.

Hello @geekgoddess,

Thanks for writing in! I can confirmed that this is a bug in the latest release of the theme. Our developers is already made aware of this and will be fixing this text element bug. It shall be updated and rolled out in our next release update cycle. Please bear with us.

For the meantime, please do make edits in the left panel, in the text element settings.

Best Regards.

Awesome! (Well, not awesome there is a bug, but awesome that it’s already being worked on!)

Thanks for the quick update!

You are most welcome!
