Custom image URLs not working on posts

  • I have been using square image links for most of my internal linking by using a custom URL. You can see an example at the bottom of the the linked post. These worked great until recently when it appears that every single one on every post quit working. I don’t know when or why they stopped working, but I doubt it’s been much more than a month. That’s about the last time I went in and used some of them.

    While none of them seem to work anymore on POSTS new or old, they seem to work fine on all PAGES.

    I can’t even imagine what is causing this. Any suggestions? This is a big deal on my site, so I really need to figure out what is going on.

    My WordPress is up-to-date, but my theme hasn’t been updated for a long time. I use the classic editor.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Oops. My husband just found some PAGES where the links none of the links work on mobile – like Africa, but where SOME do work on desktop!!!! https://explorationvacation.net/africa-and-middle-east-page/

    But other pages like Europe and my home page, seem to still work perfectly fine on both.

    But neither of us can find a POST where the links work.

    I’m so confused.

    In the example in your first post, do you mean the “California” image? That is linked, but the link is not clickable because of the social icons next to it. Solution would be the following addition to the CSS which removes the floating of the adjacent images and the social icons element is not above it:

    #dpsp-content-bottom {
  overflow: hidden;
}

    After that the images are clickable which are also linked. However, the large image at the position is not linked at all.

    If that doesn’t solve your problem now, the question for me would be how you deposit these in the Classic Editor? A screenshot would be helpful.

    THANK YOU! You saved me hours and hours of troubleshooting.

    Grow Social did an update very recently and that must have caused the problem. As soon as I disabled it, everything worked again.

    (No, the large image isn’t supposed to be clickable. And I’m just adding the images like any other image and then going into the text editor and adding vspace=”10″ to keep them separated. A very non-technical solution that worked until now!)

    I don’t know where/how to add the CSS code you suggest, so I’ll go to Grow with the problem.

    Thank you again.

    You should add the css in Appeareance > Customizer > Additional CSS.
