  Hi!

  I 1st asked my question to the french forum, and they told me to try here…

  When I add a link using the icon “add a link”, it seems to me there is no more a way to add directly a title to the link.

  Take a look at that page, line “AC Ajaccio” : the 1st two links (added several weeks ago) have titles and the 3rd (recently added) doesn’t :

  Adversaires

  Why did you remove the “title” field in the “add a link” box? Is there a way to have it back?

  Thanks,

  Loïc

  Hi Loïc,

  That title field was removed from the open source WordPress software that’s used at WordPress.com. When the open source software is changed, WordPress.com automatically gets those changes.

  You can read the full discussion on why this was removed from WordPress here: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/32095

  If you’d like a workaround to add a title to your link, I’d recommend using the HTML code recommend in this forum post:

  OK, thanks, Rachel.

  Sad news, anyway.
