    When I click on a hyperlink and click on the edit pencil, all it does is give me the apply the link to the anchor text. The advance editor to tell it to open in a new link or no follow or any of those options are gone. How do I get this back as I really need it to work.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    All of my websites that use AIOSEO have lost the advance editor

    Hi @rdpshop ,

    Sorry about the trouble here. This is a known problem in our 5.0.1 update: some files that power the advanced link editor were accidentally left out of the release, so the options to open a link in a new tab, set nofollow, and so on stopped showing up. Our team is already working on a fix, and it will ship in the next update.

    If you need those options back right away, there’s a safe temporary workaround. Install the free WPCode plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-headers-and-footers/), go to Code Snippets > Add Snippet, choose “Add Your Custom Code“, pick PHP Snippet as the type, and paste this line:

    add_filter( 'aioseo_disable_link_format', '__return_true' );

    Save and activate the snippet. That switches WordPress back to its own built-in link editor, so the new tab and nofollow options work again. Once you update AIOSEO to the patched version, you can delete the snippet.

    Thanks!

    Hey @rdpshop,

    I just released a new version of the plugin where this is patched. It may take a few hours to appear. In the meanwhile, you can download the new version here if you like – https://a.supportally.com/f/Qa1Ulj

    I already had WPCode but I tried the snippet and it didn’t work. I am currently just going into the HTML side to apply attributes. It makes doing a post with a few links kind of annoying and slow. Any idea when the update to fix this will be out?

    Hi @rdpshop ,

    Are you still seeing this after updating? As @arnaudbroes confirmed above, the fix is already released in AIOSEO 5.0.1.1, so the advanced link editor should be back once you’re on that version.

    If you haven’t updated yet, please do that first, either from your Plugins or Dashboard > Updates screen (it can take a few hours to show up there) or using the download link Arnaud shared above. After updating, you can also delete the WPCode snippet since it’s no longer needed.

    Let us know if the issue persists after the update and we’d be happy to investigate further.

    Thanks!
