 * Good Morning Albert,
 * What you could try doing is inserting the following code into the editor part
   of the post/page. Please follow the following steps
 * Open the editor for the page/post that you wish to edit
    Once on that page please
   click the box that says text ( this is the one next to the box saying visual )
   Then copy and paste the following code making sure you edit the two parts that
   say ” your URL here” and ” URL Title here”
 * `<a href="Your URL Here">URL Title Here</a>`
 * Then click update/publish to save your page and the link should now show.
 * If you have any issues i am happy to try and assist better

 * Yes thanks
    I have done that, but I’m really after a permanent solution to the
   problem I am not the only editor and they dont under stand the html to insert
   a link that way Should i dissable each plugin one by one and test if one is causing
   this problem?

 * Albert,
 * Yes that would be a great start as some plugins may not be compatible with your
   wordpress version or they could be corrupt

 * Try:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
