Link Not Inserting Post Title

Hey Thane, when you talk about inserting a link to an existing post are you talking about on your website or on the forums here?

If you’re talking about your website, having more information would help troubleshooting. Are you using the built-in Gutenberg block editor?

@plantprogrammer thanks for the reply, yes I’m referring to the blocks editor in WP. When you’re in a paragraph block and click the link icon, then a popout box with link options and an input field “search or type url” comes up, usually we’ll start writing the title of a post there and the popout box will populate with different posts that match the query. After selecting one of the posts that populates in the list, the editor then plops the url to that post as hyperlinked text. It used to hyperlink the post title of whichever post was selected, but now just places the url to that post and links that text – the text/url (not post name/title).

Hey Thane, I just confirmed that linking to an existing post using the method described does just link to that item without inserting the post title.

There’s probably something that can be done programmatically to allow you to have the prior functionality, but I’m unsure.
