I just wanted to add a couple of things to help clarify the problem:
1. Until yesterday, I had no problemw with links.
2. All links prior to yesterday work fine.
3. I can see the characters in html but it does not recognize links as links, and they totally disappear in visual and preview.
4. I posted a link to a new page I created yesterday on FB, and it does not work. It gives an error instead of connecting to the page, even though I can access the page through my website.
5. I did NOT add any plugins, widgets, etc. No settings were changed, this just randomly happened after I logged in and approved some comments.
I really, seriously need help with this. Basically my site is useless wiithout it recognizing new links.
Thank you in advance for any thoughts or suggestions!
Any ideas on
