• So I recently updated my blog from wordpress.com to a .com. I transferred all of my data over and all of those HTML and links still work. But now any type of links I post from flat out simple link (which I’ve resorted to in the hopes of it working) to an HTML code won’t work- they are unclickable if links and HTML simply display the entire code. I’ve contacted my host and disabled plugins and at this point have no clue what to do.

    The only example of this so far is here: https://www.tiffanylovesbooks.com/2013/07/01/one-year-blogiversary-celebration/ the link is at the very end of the post.

    Please help me!

  • Is this how you are making links?

    Type the text you want to make into a link
    Highlight that text
    Click the link button
    Type or paste the URL for the link-to page in the pop-up box
    Click add link on the pop-up

    Well I usually type it in myself < a href=”https://www.apple.com”>I love Apple (I hope I disabled it with the space in the beginning for you to see how I do it). But when that didn’t work I did try using the link helper and when that didn’t work I simply pasted the URL into my post and it is still unclickable. At this point I have no clue what to do

    That’s not valid HTML for a link – you need a closing a tag

    <a href="https://www.apple.com">I love Apple</a>

    Also, if you are using the visual editor and/or switching between visual and text editors, the code may be getting stripped out.

    Yes. I know… Messed up up there huh? Well I usually do include that. I’ve come to know HTML codes pretty well in my year on wordpress.

    However, how can I fix the fact that no new links or HTML codes work on my .com?

    I usually stick to one. But in my trying to get it to work I switched to the text editor to try and tackle it myself. It didn’t work. I even tried redoing the post in only text mode but that didn’t work either

    Can we see a page that shows these non-working links?

    If you examine the source markup for that page, you’ll see that there’s absolutely no link markup associated with the url at the end of the post. Was this one of the links where you added the markup in the Text tab and then switch backed to the Visual tab? If so, that switch back will have stripped the link markup out immediately.

    Ok. I see what you mean now. I just retried it and it works perfectly. Thank you both very much!
