Cannot add a link to posts

  • I’ve been using WordPress on this site for over a year and suddenly I cannot add a hyperlink to text. It will only me to add it when I switch to text view. When I highlight text and hit the insert link button it does nothing.

    I’ve updated all of the plugins and WP itself. And prior to two weeks ago I had no issues. Any ideas?

  • What theme are you using?
    Have you added any new plugins recently?

    If this happened after updating to 4.5.2 the link creation tool is a little different. After you highlite the text and enter the link into the field input and then you have to click the blue arrow button in the popup box.

    I had the same issue and I was hitting “Return” to enter in the link but it wasn’t creating the link. You have to click the blue button.

    If that’s not the issue, it may be a theme/plugin conflict like allisonplus asked about.

    I’m running a Genesis child theme. I just deactivated all plugins and the problem is still existing.
    I don’t even get a pop-up when I click on the add link button.

    Hmm…. Switch out of that into the 2016 Theme. Then go in and try to add the link.

    If that fixes it, then I would say the conflict is in Genesis.

    Why can I no longer add hyperlinks to my blog? I could do so yesterday. I have made no WordPress updates. Any suggestions on what I can try? I rebooted and that didn’t help. Thanks.
