Hi Brad – i wasn’t able to find the problem. I’ve removed all the extra plugins, it’s mystery. i’m going to re-upload the wordpress core, maybe something was corrupted in the upload.
@swansonphotos – that’s the problem – even if i try and do completely legitimate html it will do this:
<a href="https://google.com">google.com</a>
becomes:
<a href=\"https://google.com\">google.com</a>
and if i click again it becomes:
<a href=\\\"https://google.com\\\">google.com</a>
and when i view the front end – that link tries to go to:
https://%22http//google.com///%22
unless i find an answer soon i’m going to have to give up and hard code the theme to make these blocks, but that will be an awful awful development, because it severely limits the client’s editing abilities in the sidebar!
@brad – can I give you access to the site so you can look and see if i’ve missed something obvious? We can do that via email?
