Hi,  
I’m trying to add a link field to a custom module like this: [URL and Link fields now available in Custom Modules](https://designers.hubspot.com/blog/url-and-link-fields-now-available-in-custom-modules)  
When I do this and click the “read more” link it just takes me back to the same page the module is on.  
I have made a link field HubL variable called “link\_field”

```auto
<div class="uilink" {{module.link_field.href}} >
{% set href = module.link_field.url.href %}
{% if module.link_field.url.type is equalto "EMAIL_ADDRESS" %}
{% set href = "mailto:" + href %}
{% endif %}
<a href="{{ href }}"
{% if module.link_field.open_in_new_tab %}target="_blank"{% endif %}
{% if module.link_field.no_follow %}rel="nofollow"{% endif %}>
Read more</a>
</div>

```

Not sure what I’m doing wrong here?  
Thanks!

Hi @BenMIN,

Are you linking to an external site? If so, did you indicate the correct external link?

On my end, I set up a custom module to add link field like this:

 ![Screen Shot 2019-11-07 at 12.41.43 PM.jpg](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/6/2/629e49e37d4b23ced258c4304fc80d2352dd9f80.jpeg)

Add the module on my page: [https://info.wendyggx.com/landing-page/fuji-yoga](https://info.wendyggx.com/landing-page/fuji-yoga) \> When I click on the ‘Read More’ link \> I was directed to [google.com](http://google.com) just fine.

Do our set up match? Let me know if I’m missing anything here.

Hi Wendy,

Thanks for your help! I realised I had a typo in the field. I’ve got it working now.

Thanks!
