 * Hi.
 * When writing or editing posts or pages, I cannot use links. The link icon in 
   the editor is greyed out or inactive.
 * I can’t work out how to turn it back on.
 * Please help.

 * Hi,
 * YOu can apply the link to the post just write the contents and select that contents
   on which you need to apply the link..
 * once you select the contents that link option will be turned on automatically.
 * Thanks,
