Suddenly hyperlinks don't work
-
I always include a hyperlink in my posts because I review recipes from other blogs. (Naturally, they need credit!) I’ve never had a problem until Friday, and I still can’t get the hyperlink feature to work.
Here’s what I do (and it used to work): I go to the html feature when writing the post. I highlight the word I want to use as the hyperlink, press the “link”button, put in the other site’s url, then click “add link.” It all seems like it’s going fine….but then it doesn’t take. It’s as if I never went through that little process.
Help, please. :)
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

P.S. I see ab active link in your most recent post Caramelized Onion Tart with Gorgonzola and Brie. Did you use the HTML editor or the Visual editor to create it?

You’ve been a huge help! Updating my browser per your suggestion seemed to be the magic formula. Thank you so much!

My links dont work, and when I switch from HTML to Visual in the Post editor, it deletes the hyperlink in my post altogether. My Browser settings have nothing to do with it.
How can I insert a hyperlink in a post, and have it work when I publish?
By the way, there is no Settings -> Permalink option for me.

1. How are you connecting to the internet and to WordPress.com? The way you connect to the internet (mobile, satellite, DSL, dial-up) and to your blog, and how many proxy server jumps etc. it takes to connect can cause problems. There maybe be problems with your ISP and/or with the proxy servers. Can you access any of these directly?

Well, I still don’t know what the problem was, but I was finally able to insert working hyperlinks into my Posts: I just had to use the Visual editor instead of the HTML editor.

No, I think it was a typo. Timethief’s been having some vision problems lately. She wasn’t being sarcastic at all. ;)
-
I think she meant to say, “Well thank you very much for returning and letting us know this is now resolved for you.”

Thank you shoreacres. Exactly! I wasn’t being sarcastic, jasteele. I meant to type “now” and made a mistake. But the fact you can’t use the HTML editor is worrisome.

Ah, that’s probably your problem. Please try disabling the ad blocking add-ons. Some have been known to interfere with the Dashboard.
If that doesn’t fix it, try disabling all of your add-ons.
If either fixes it, re-enable each one individually until you find the cause.
