posting hyperlinks
-
I have had several frustrating experiences with trying to post hyperlinks. I click the hyperlink button while my text is highlighted, fill out the form, and hit continue. Then, the page either redirects or asks me if I want to navigate away from the page.
What is causing this?The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

What browser and browser version are you using?
Try this: log out of wordpress, clear your browser cache and cookies, restart your browser and then try again.
-
Which browser and version of it are your using please?
- You could have a browser issue so try changing your browser settings, refreshing the page, or clearing the browser cache and cookies – instructions for specific browsers.
- Note that when you make adjustments to your browser settings — changing privacy settings, deleting cookies or increasing security — you will need to close your window and restart the browser before those new settings become effective.
- You could try upgrading your browser.
- You could try using another browser.

The bulk of my links are not showing up as blue. They come up as underlined, and you are able to link to them, but I want them to come up as blue. One could be causing that?

What’s causing the color change is people clicking the links. In the Coraline theme the links are blue. The hover color is red. When clicked the links change. That’s the way the theme is coded. The only way to change it is by purchasing a CSS editing upgrade and doing the work yourself.If you have CSS editing experience, you can get the paid custom CSS upgrade and renew it annually. It will allow you to stylize the appearance of themes you find here > Appearance > Themes, but it does not allow you to change the functionality, by editing the underlying template. Also note that CSS is theme specific, so you cannot use the CSS stylesheets from other themes with the themes here at wordpress.COM.
Since there is no official Staff support for the CSS upgrade, and precious little Volunteer support, I recommend that you don’t buy the upgrade unless you have at least moderate understanding of HTML and CSS because you must be prepared to do the work on your own.
If you are considering purchasing the upgrade, you can go to Appearance > Edit CSS. There wordpress has provided a preview function where you can try before you buy.

Thank you. I have little understanding of all this in general as I am just starting out. I just had the impression from the instructions from creating links that they would show up in your post as blue an underlined. You are saying it is normal for them to show up as gray and underlined, correct? They will still work properly? For instance, I have links to about 5 things in my post, and one shows up as blue but the others show up as gray. Thoughts?

Will you please post the URL for the post in question so we can examine what’s happening?

I clicked into that post. Every link was blue in color and the hover color was read. When I clicked the link it changed to dark gray and was underlined. As I said above this is normal behavior for the theme you are using. The theme is coded to display links exactly the way they are operating now.
