Missing https from attachment after inserted into post

[LDDG]

Does anyone know why when I double-click on an attachment link after inserting it into a post, the URL does not have the http: or https: attached to it?

 

In my case, it is missing the https:

This makes it tedious for my members to simply be able to copy and paste this URL into my HTML5 editor which requires the full URL to be entered. I know members will start complaining about this.

Thanks for any help!

Possible outdated template in your theme.
Check the default theme.

The very website we are on right now (invisionpower.com) does the same thing. So it's not my theme at fault. Thanks for the response though!

For me, no problem

I did try with the stock, untouched theme and it still showed the attachment without https:

I even tried it here at this website a second time and same issue. I wonder if it's just a setting that needs to be enabled or disabled.

If only pointed attached with your mouse - what link you see below in the browser tab?

If you are referring to hovering over the link AFTER the post has been posted, yes, it will show the complete URL in the bottom corner of the browser. The issue is displaying the whole URL when you double click the link while preparing the post.

Just cleared cookies, cache and history on latest versions of Google Chrome and Firefox and still the same issue. This is extremely weird. I really do appreciate your help, my friend. I will just open up a ticket with IPS.

It’s called protocol-relative URL. https://www.paulirish.com/2010/the-protocol-relative-url/

Why do you need to copy and paste those URLs? I didn’t get that part.

I installed a CKEditor plugin called HTML5Audio that allows me to embed an audio file with an audio player. When I click the button to embed the file, it needs the entire URL. Pasting //www.website.com/xxxxxx will not work. It needs the http://www.website.com/xxxxxx URL

I see the problem. I don’t see a simple solution keeping the existing workflow. 

But I found: if you open that link window and then click the “insert” button, the next time you open the window, it will be a full URL.

Yea, I eas able to reproduce what you said. Even though it works, it only brings up the http: version of it and not the https: one.

I opened a ticket and Marc is already looking into the issue. Hopefully he can help solve it. Thanks for your help as well, my friend.
