Change: if ( strpos( $value, ‘://’ ) !== false ) {
to: if ( strpos( $value, ‘:’ ) !== false ) {
Legit just take the two // out, and it works. It was like this for years, and then they updated it causing several of my themes to crash as they were built with ACF Pro + Elementor Pro + Dynamic.ooo
If that could be reprogrammed into the base code for the plugin that would be greeeeeaaaat.
I just looked back in old versions of ACF, the URL field was introduced in version 5. The ACF validation code has always been ‘://’.
At any rate, if you want to suggest this change to the developers then you need to contact them or open a ticket in your account.
The developers do not monitor this forum.
