  I was following this tutorial, , and successfully added an image and made it link to another page. I ran into an issue when I added an image with a caption, added the link, and previewed. The image link was not available.

  Here is the code generated in the HTML editor. Not sure why this isn’t working. Looks like the caption tag is preventing the link.
  [caption id="attachment_714" align="alignnone" width="207"]<a href="http://blog.seachangemn.com/insight/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-714" src="https://blogseachangemn.files.wordpress.com/2017/03/seachange_blogpost.jpg" alt="seachange_blogpost" width="207" height="125" /></a> Welcome Blog[/caption]

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

  If I put the link code surrounding the caption, it works. But if I make any changes, the html editor removes the link. It seems I have to add it and never edit the page again.
