Breaking pages after update Version 2.6.5

  • After I updated to Version 2.6.5 and the WordPress 5.0 the plugin is causing that pages I edit and publish only show text up until the first inserted affiliate link on the page.
    So either I disable Affiliate Links plugin and have literally hundreds of pages with useless/dead links, or I enable the Affiliate link plugin and it will break my pages.
    I remember something about having to “migrate” the plugin when I update to Version 2.6.5!? Could that have been the problem?

    There was no migration required. Not sure what’s going wrong here.
    Could you check with your webhost if there are any errors in the PHP error log?

    I have the exact same problem. Since WordPress implemented the new editor in v5.0, this plugin breaks the code of my posts.

    Took me some time to figure out what exactly is happening. In short:

    Whenever you add a regular link and you have also links further down the page that are made by using the Easy Affiliate Links (EAL) button in the WordPress editor, somehow WordPress connects the regular link and the EAL-link together. What happens is that all the code (text, images, etc.) between the regular link and the EAL-link ‘disappears’ and you see the EAL-link on the spot where you’ve added the regular link. After this, the code picks up again.

    Thank you @chrisw64 for the steps that allowed me to replicate this problem. I just released 2.6.7 that should fix this bug. Could you give it a try?
