? Added to Links in Widget

  • I am working on a widget that has some links in a bullet point.

    The site is https://hailey.saltlakewebcentral.com

    The widget is at the bottom.

    I am using the code: <a href="https://hailey.saltlakewebcentral.com/salt-lake-debt-relief?">Mortgage Relief SLC</a>

    This is pretty basic stuff…just standard html that i pasted in from notepad to make sure nothing else came with it.

    I understand that the %E2%80%8E stands for the quote mark.

    How can i fix this problem?

    Quite honestly this should never happen and makes no sense at all to me.

    Ive even tried using…

    <a href=https://hailey.saltlakewebcentral.com/salt-lake-debt-relief>Mortgage Relief SLC</a>

    …with no quotes around the address and to my astonishment it still makes a link out of the code but keeps the %E2%80%8E

    Why is WordPress having such a hard time with such basic HTML?

    Blows my mind, in 10 years of development I’ve never seen this happen!!!

    <h2>
<a href="/?page_id=6">Mortgage Relief</a>
</h2>

    This isnt the area im referring to…its not even finished yet and has wrong links in it from my old link structure.

    Yep. Since three of use don’t seem to be be able to see this problem, it sounds like it just might be specific to your browser. Have you tried viewing the site using another browser?

    It comes OK with the trailing / in Chrome. But on FF as you described and on IE returns not found. You may check the page and edit its URL.

    Sorry, no, but still no garbled code here:

    <li>
<a href="https://hailey.saltlakewebcentral.com/salt-lake-debt-relief/">Mortgage Relief SLC</a>
</li>

    It’s working fine (at my end) on latest Chrome, FF11 nad IE8. Using Win7.

    @krishna Yup i tried all browsers and it works fine on all of them except FF (just tried IE and its working for me with trailing / maybe its your cache?)

    @esmi Yes tried FF, IE, Chrome and Safari…it only breaks on FF

    I wonder if a FF plugin would do this…also im on Win 7 using latest FF

    WOW Very strange…just tried it on my other computer using FF and it works fine lol

    Try disabling all add-ons in the original browser. Perhaps one of them is causing the problem?

    Works fine for me on FF, IE and Chrome.

    @media X – Well in my defense it shouldn’t have happened in the first place and WordPress is notorious for this very issue.

    do a search for %E2%80%8E WordPress and you will see a lot of people had this problem.

    Anyway best of luck thanks for help!
