I am using jabref in BibTex and whatever I type into the general tab of an article entry, mainly the url, isn’t printed onto the pdf in the end. Everything else works. Any suggestions how to fix that since I really need jabref to display the url. Yes I made \usepackage{url} at the beginning of the file. I am on windows.

The standard BibTeX reference style does not support the URL field. You can use the `howpublished` field instead, as suggested [here](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/35977/how-to-add-a-url-to-a-latex-bibtex-file). Another option is to switch to biblatex or use a different reference style (like natbib).
