[Plugin: Business Directory] Version 0.8.3 Beta and Website URL Validation (Possible Fix)

The current implementation only allows very basic website URLs.
Unfortunately not everyone has a top-level domain

For example these URLs are not allowed in the latest version (0.8.3 Beta):

https://www.somesite.com/
https://www.somesite.com/some-url-path/
https://www.somesite.com/some_url_path/index.html

A quick fix for this is to find this string in “functions.php”

/^http{1}s?:{1}\/\/{1}[A-z0-9]+[A-z0-9\-\.]*\.{1}[A-z]{2,4}$/

and replace it with

/^http{1}s?:{1}\/\/{1}[A-z0-9]+[A-z0-9\-\.]*\.{1}[A-z]{2,4}(\/([a-zA-Z0-9\.\-_])+)*(\/){0,1}$/

This will support the URLs above
