I thought i got the solution but it's still not working. esc_url only displays the http:// on the authorpage. But the link is still referring to http://www.mywebsite.com/www.twitter.com/myname ;-(

What if someone does not include the "http://" in the url they submit (with their twitter or facebook url).

I'll get something like this -> http://www.mywebsite.com/www.twitter.com/myname when i click their url on the authorpage.

Is there an option to automatically include the "http://" ?

This is awesome, thanks so much for sharing.

I use this in conjunction with:

To extend my user info, and I show it on whatever pages I want by using conditional statements in my sidebar.

Thanks again!

Fantastic article, I have been searching for a few days on how to do this.

Now, I am using this combined with "Members List" to show users details.

Thanks!
