 * Hi all,
 * my WP works fine except one thing (since a few weeks): whenever I add a URL to
   my text (even, when the URL is NOT linked), I am unable to save the article. 
   If I delete the URL, I can hit “publish”, when I add the URL, I cannot.
 * Any ideas?

 * 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 “Health Check”: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
   On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and
   change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, **without affecting normal
   visitors to your site**.

 * This problem appears only in the Guttenberg editor, if I try it in the Classic
   editor, it works as expected.

 * This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Try installing the “Health Check” plugin:
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
 * On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and
   change to a default theme for you, while you’re still logged in, **without affecting
   normal visitors to your site**.
 * If the problem goes away (you’re able to publish posts and pages that include
   a URL), from the Plugins page, click “Enable while troubleshooting” to start 
   enabling plugins one by one to identify the conflict.

 * I recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gutenberg](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gutenberg)
   so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.
