The Insert/edit link button does not work. The selected text gets converted into a link but it has a href of _wp_link_placeholder and there is no way to edit that. How to fix that Using the latest Anspress

Thanks

Just tested it and works great for me.

This issue has been there for the last 4 Anspress versions. Also there are no errors in the browser console. Any ideas what might be going wrong?

Just follow the std WP debug procedure. Enable debug to a log, switch to default theme, disable all plugins and see if that works. Then enable one by one the plugins and see any conflict.

I have to correct my self. It works for WP 4.4.

Trying to do so in WP 4.6 it doesn’t work at.

So it is a problem between WP 4.5 / 4.6 and Anspress. And if i remember correctly Rahul has suggested a plugin for that, as a temp fix.

I quote from Rahul:

“This was a bug related to WP 4.5 not AnsPress. To fix this please use Advance WP link plugin.”

I can’t find the plugin in the plugin repository. Can you provide a link?

Hello,
This issue is happening due to WP new inline link feature. For some reason inline link is not working in frontend editors. Hoping to get this solved soon.

@rahularyan any temporary fix? The plugin suggested advanced wplink doesn’t solve the problem

@rahularyan working now thanks @cagliostro
