No links on text widgets?

    3 years, 7 months ago

    I’m not sure if this is a bug because I have tested on different installations and environments with the same result, but I can’t add links to Text Widgets (Dashboard Widgets) – When I click “Insert/edit link” icon in the editor, it just close instantly.

    Even if I try to add a link manually with html, after saving, it becomes “<p></p>”

    I am doing something wrong?

    Hey there @xches

    This is an awesome plugin from these guys but also found this to be a downer. It would of course be super useful to add links in the text widgets provided so…

    MAKE-DO SOLUTION FOR NOW!

    – I just create the text I want the link attached to in another application and then copy/paste it into the text widget

    – for example I use my email program cos it creates links on text very easily for me – so I just click on ‘compose new email’ and keep this open as my work sheet for creating the word/words I need to add the link to and then copy/paste into the Branda text widget wherever I need it and HEY PRESTO there’s your linked text!

    A little of bit of extra work outside the Branda app but it solves the issue and its much quicker than waiting for these guys to get it fixed – no disrespect to them as I truly appreciate their free offerings!

    High5 and happy linking till the fix is released ??
