  I used to be able to start typing a link, and WordPress would automatically suggest previous links I’ve used. That function no longer seems to be working. Any thoughts?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Yep — still having trouble, after trying all the steps above. I’m using Chrome (latest version — just downloaded it). THANKS

  Just so we can rule-out a browser-specific issue, would you please try Firefox?

  Well, the drop-down works in Firefox. However, even after doing the 4 steps above, Chrome (latest version) does NOT work!

  Ok, something must be off in your Chrome installation. I’m having no trouble with Chrome myself.

  Do you have JavaScript enabled?

  Would you mind reinstalling Chrome?

  I think I’ll pass — it would take too long to redo all my settings, etc. It’s not a huge deal to not have the autofill for past links — I can live with that. Thanks for your time and effort with this — it is greatly appreciated!
