How to use non-http link in Circle Icon Widget?

Hello,

I am attempting to use ts3server://addresshere in the Circle Widget, but when I use that uri it reverts to an HTTP link to the page the widget is located on. I have added ts3server to the WordPress protocols:

In functions.php:
$protocols = array( 'http', 'https', 'ftp', 'ftps', 'mailto', 'news', 'irc', 'gopher', 'nntp', 'feed', 'telnet', 'mms', 'rtsp', 'svn', 'tel', 'fax', 'xmpp', 'ts3server');

but it still doesn’t seem to work. Could you please advise as soon as possible?

Thank you,

    Hi Derek

    We’re using the built in esc_url function to handle escaping URLs in the circle icon widget. By default, this does strip out a lot of protocols.

    Here’s a guide on how to add skype as a valid protocol. You can quite easily apply this idea to adding ts3server though.

    Hope that helps :)
