[Plugin: WYSIWYG Widgets] Link Button Not Working

For the add link button to light up, you need to highlight the text you want linked.

Yes, I am selecting text, the button lights up, but when I click on it, nothing happens. It works perfectly fine in a regular page or post, just not in the Wysiwyg Widgets editor…

Have you updated to the latest plugin version?

Yes, just today. That’s when the button quit working. Prior to today, I was using an earlier version that worked fine.

Hi Codiller,

What version of WordPress are you running? Also, are you running WYSIWYG Widgets 1.0.5 or 1.0.6? I committed v1.0.6 just a few minutes after 1.0.5..

@kmessinger, Thanks for your help! Takes some pressure off my shoulders. ??

Danny,

I’m running WordPress 3.2 and have WYSIWYG Widgets 1.0.6 installed. I also just moved the local site onto a remote server and am still having the same issues.

Additionally, I have a bunch of permalinks in the WYSIWYG Widgets and upon moving my site am having to go into each one to update the permalinks.

I tried doing a Find/Replace on the MySQL export file, however, after doing that and then uploading the tables into the new MySQL database, all of the WYSIWYG Widgets disappeared. The other widgets remained and were fixed.

Any thoughts on these issues?

Codiller, regarding your last issue, I heard it’s because of serialized data but don’t really understand why WP’s default widgets remain upon moving..

I’ll look into both the issues, thanks for reporting. If you open the page in Internet Explorer and hit the yellow warning sign in the bottom left corner (if there is one), what does it say?

Thanks for the update Danny. Too bad about the widgets disappearing. It makes it difficult to use any widgets that disappear when you upload a site from the localhost. I guess I’ll be developing on the live site from now on until this gets fixed…

I think I can confirm that this isn’t working with 3.2 and 1.0.6, for the same reason as you updated your post about using TinyMCE in Wysiwyg with, so i’m pretty sure you know the solution.

Same problem here with the 1.0.6 and WP 3.1.3
Links not working

For those saying the link isn’t working – what browser/version are you guys using?

Chrome 12

Thanks for confirming MadtownLems and thedarkmist, i’m looking into a possible fix (thank you Lems!) and will push an update ASAP.

I find it kinda strange that you experience the problem in Chrome though. Seems kinda random for who it’s working and for who not, although random does not exist… For anyone who stumbles across this topic with the slightest idea on what might be causing it, let me know!
