Links in a post not working.

Where is support???

I want to highlight the word, then if it’s clicked on, it will bring people to that website.

What do you mean by “highlight” the word?

I enter the URL and when I hit preview…

Does the link appear in the published post? Are you using the Link button properly?

I have never in my entire time using WordPress seen the insert-link button not work as expected…

I enter the URL and when I hit preview, there is no link.

no link at all, or is the link just not highlighted?

to add a link, are you highlighting the text section in the editor, and then click the link button?

can you point to some linked words in the content of one of the posts in your site?

the weaver forum advised me it was not a theme related issue.

to me, it seems to be theme issue, as the theme does not have any formatting for links to make them stand out from the text.

try to add somthing like this to the styles (in whatever way the theme does it):

.entry-content a { color: red; text-decoration: underline; }

to me, it seems to be theme issue, as the theme does not have any formatting for links to make them stand out from the text.

I am fairly certain that this is not a Theme issue.

To verify: switch to the default Theme (i.e. Twenty Eleven), and verify whether this issue is reproducible or not.

I am fairly certain that this is not a Theme issue.

I partly agree:
I could not find any linked texts in the posts; so there might be an user error with adding links in the first place;

where I believe it is a theme issue:
I intruduced linked passages using Firefox’ web developer addon; and they did not show highlighted within the post content.
therefore the suggestion to add some css.

I called word press and they also dont understand why I cannot set the link to work. This is what happens: (This code is copied just as I see it when I’ve hit ‘add link’.

As you can see the word HERE is not embedded in the code. I highlight the word ‘here’ (rollover it), click on the HTML underlined word ‘link’ in my post menu, the window opens for me to add the website URL (https://www.foodnetwork.com), then I clik on add link and the above comes up.

Upon preview, no link is connected to the work ‘here’.

PS: my Weaver II Pro theme admin/forum told me this was NOT a theme issue…

just realized the code didn’t come through on the previous email.

Note: I also do this in the HTML version. For some reason the visual/HTML choices are not available (I can’t see them). Everything now shows in HTML only.
