Can’t add links in blog post

  • I am unable to select a word in my blog post and create a link out of it. When I click the link button, the insert link box appears, but the screen goes gray and I am unable to select anything or type anything. Ultimately, I have to hit the back button and reload the post. 2.7.1 is installed. Any solutions??

  • The screen is supposed to turn grey but you should see the page behind it. You can’t key in a link? Have you disabled you plugins? Have you tried a different browser. Have you tried the default theme?

    Have you tried just viewing your blog in HTML? Maybe that’ll just be easier.

    The screen goes gray, I see the page behind it, but there is no way to type in anything at all. Are you suggesting that I disable all plugins and try it again? I’ll try Firefox, as I am currently using Safari. I don’t use the default theme, I use a prophoto blog template. Thanks for the suggestions.

    Ok, so I tried it in Firefox and it works! Is there a solution for getting it to work in Safari? It used to work with Safari, but suddenly doesn’t. Thanks!

    Welcome to the wild wonderful world of browsers! As for your question, I don’t know. Is there a Safari user’s forum.

    I have never been able to select all when in a text widget for deleting using IE7 and 8 and going back to WP 2.5 (?). I have to use back spacing. But it works fine in FF. Go figure.

    Switching to the default theme, just for a test, would rule out the problem being with the theme.

    I’m having the exact same problem. Haven’t found a solution yet.
