Hi @claritylc,

No problem for the reply. For some reason I woke up early here in Australia. 2a.m.

Maybe it was to help you a little? Who knows? Haha.

I would contact Bluehost support for this problem. They are always very helpful.

It sounds like you might have a real hodgepodge going on there, with new users added and passwords etc.

They will be able to look at it from inside your account to see what’s going on whereas I don’t have that advantage.

But rest assured, I’m sure it will get resolved.

Catch you later.

Take care.

Hi @claritylc,

No I didn’t have to wait any time at all.

I noticed you were talking about WordPress. “COM”

This solution is only for accessing your WordPress. “ORG” dashboard for your website.

Bluehost websites use www.remarpro.com

Just google the difference between www.remarpro.com and WordPress.com and there will be some videos and articles that explain the difference between the two.

Keep working through the problem.

Try not to get TOO frustrated. That’s very difficult! I know! Hahaha!

Google and a whole lot of persistence are always your friends.

Keep persisting and good luck.

All the best.

You’re very welcome. I’m glad it helped you out. All the best.

Way “TOO” complicated for me. I HATE making spelling mistakes like that. It’s one of those things that drives me crazy when I read other people who have done it and now I’ve done it! Grrrrrrr!

My apologies.

UPDATE 17 HOURS LATER:

Yeah thanks erecinella but I have to update again! I used the method I explained above today and it didn’t work! ARRRRGGH! So today I wrote in black, added the link, highlighted the linked text again, did everything as above…….and it didn’t change the linked text colour. It was still black.

So I removed the link and, lo and behold, the text changed to blue. I then added the link again and the text stayed blue. Sacre Bleu!!!

Basically, it’s a God damn hot mess and everyone will just have to play around with it.

The good thing is: It can be done! There is hope!

UPDATE 18 MINS LATER: @erecinella’s work around did work and didn’t. My comment below was not entirely correct. You do not have to move the cursor one more space as I originally wrote below. Then….I found The Way…..The following steps are all while in the editor of course. Just adding that for even newer newbies than me.

STEP 1. Highlight the text and add your link. (the text colour will change. My text was blue. When I did this step, it turned black with an underline signifying the text is linked.)

STEP 2. Click on the new link once. It will highlight the linked text in light blue.

STEP 3. Now click AGAIN and drag your cursor to highlight the text within the already highlighted box.

STEP 4. Go to the text colour drop down menu and select the colour that you want the link text to be.

STEP 5. Big sigh of relief!

PREVIOUS COMMENT 18 MINS EARLIER:

@erecinella @haoconnor At first erecinella’s fix didn’t work for me either but then I did it again and found that I had to move the cursor one more position with the arrow key while holding the shift key and it worked.

I have no idea how you would possibly even think to do that in the first place @erecinella but I am SO grateful you did!!!

I have been at my wits end trying to put links in today. Wasted a whole Saturday trying to figure it out! It used to be so simple…….”Back in My Day.” Like, a couple of months ago.

Talk about exasperating!!!!
