Links not working as expected

    I’m learning, but Links are not working in the way the tutorial describes.
    I create a Paragraph Block and enter some text.
    I highlight the text and click the “Link” icon.
    I search for the desired link and click return.

    The link shows up, but instead of the selected text being highlighted in blue, it puts the URL next to the text. That looks bad to me.

    I also tried pasting the URL on to the selected text (my tutorial said this was a quick way to create links), but it just overwrote the text with the URL?

    Thanks for your help!

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

    This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins, and switch to the default Twenty Nineteen theme. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of the problem.

    If you can install plugins, install 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.

    Thanks for your input James. I did as you suggested and installed the Health Check Plugin and put it in the “Troubleshooting” mode. With everything off, the problem persists. My Links still look like this.

    Thanks James! You lead me down the right path. It turned out to be a Safari Extension called “Stop the Madness”. It was a bit tedious finding it through elimination, but it’s gone now.

    Thanks again.

    That’s a nicely ironic name there, Stop The Madness was causing madness. 🙂

    I’m glad it’s all working now!
