  Hi there,

  This is a weird problem. I don’t think this is from the server side. Maybe it has to do with the browser.

  I would suggest multiple things here, something might work.

  1) Try switching the browser or using incognito/private mode and see if that works.
  2) Try using the traditional admin dashboard at yoursite.wordpress.com/wp-admin

  Also a small tip on adding links –

  1) Select the text
  2) Press CMD+K or CTRL+K
  3) Paste the link
  4) Hit enter

  That is a small shortcut for adding links (it also works on every other editor on the internet like Google docs, Evernote, etc).
