 * Hi Team,
 * Since the recent updates, the Add Link option has not worked correctly. I have
   tried troubleshooting, which included deactivating plugins, to no avail.
 * When I add a link after highlighting the text and clicking the “Open in a new
   page” option it corrupts the HTML by adding two URL’s instead of one. Also, it
   automatically makes it a “do not follow” link without me choosing that option.
 * I have tried all options to fix it without success.
 * Your feedback will be greatly appreciated!
 * Thanks

 * This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins,
   and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable
   them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.
 * If you can install plugins, install and activate “Health Check”: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
   
   It will add some additional features under the menu item under Tools > Site Health.
   On its troubleshooting tab, you can Enable Troubleshooting Mode. This will disable
   all plugins, switch to a standard WordPress theme (if available), allow you to
   turn your plugins on and off and switch between themes, **without affecting normal
   visitors to your site**. This allows you to test for various compatibility issues.
   There’s a more detailed description about how to use the Health Check plugin 
   and its Troubleshooting Mode at [https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/appendix/troubleshooting-using-the-health-check/](https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/appendix/troubleshooting-using-the-health-check/)
