Hi,

To make the URL clickable, you just need to add it to the attribute href of a <a> tag.

<a href="{{ field }}">{{ field }}</a>

you are answering half of what I wrote...

When I want to include the url, I have the followinng appearing, how am I supposed to make it work?

{% set field = attribute( post, 'publisher-url' ) %}
{{ field }}

if I put
{% set field = attribute( post, 'publisher-url' ) %}
{{ post.publisher-url }} tried also {{ publisher-url }}

it returns 0...

It seems it caused bby the fact that I renamed the field and the ID, it lost all the data, is this normal? (used to have just url bbut was conflicting everytime I wanted the 'post-url' function...)
