I pushed an update a few hours ago, but it doesn’t seem to be visible yet. Will check again in the morning. * Thread Starter [kfriesth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kfriesth/) * (@kfriesth) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-is-broken-with-newest-wordpress/#post-13755607) * I checked make the entire title bar clickable and rel=”nofollow”, if you don’t put anything in the bottom title link and only put info in the title and text, the output is not linked its just plain text, if however you also put a value in the Title Link it then breaks the Title and outputs < A HREF=”[http://TITLELINK”>TITLE](http://TITLELINK”>TITLE) > as the title and not the url I entered.

From your screenshots there are two sets of link fields in the widget interface which suggests you have another plugin that makes a similar modification. This may be the cause of the conflict. * The first set of Title Link fields is not this plugin. The second set is. You should check what other widget modification plugins are installed, and may need to uninstall Simple Widget Title Links if another is already providing that functionality. 🙂 * Thread Starter [kfriesth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kfriesth/) * (@kfriesth) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-is-broken-with-newest-wordpress/#post-13757533) * ugh yea I left another active. The above problem is still there though where the linked title actually prints the outputs as < A HREF=”[http://WWW.GOOGLE.COM”>CR5-A](http://WWW.GOOGLE.COM”>CR5-A) ROBOT rather than the linked title - This reply was modified 5 years, 7 months ago by [kfriesth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kfriesth/). - This reply was modified 5 years, 7 months ago by [kfriesth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kfriesth/). - This reply was modified 5 years, 7 months ago by [kfriesth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kfriesth/). * Plugin Author [tourbillonlabs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tourbillonlabs/) * (@tourbillonlabs) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-is-broken-with-newest-wordpress/#post-13759449) * I can’t reproduce this, unfortunately.

All it does is add an anchor for the link. * Regarding the checkbox state, are you using the 1.0.1 version of the plugin or the 1.0.0 still? * Thread Starter [kfriesth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kfriesth/) * (@kfriesth) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-is-broken-with-newest-wordpress/#post-13772879) * I am using 1.01 * Thread Starter [kfriesth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kfriesth/) * (@kfriesth) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-is-broken-with-newest-wordpress/#post-13773091) * I deactivated max mega menu to test, your plugin and max mega menu as does with a few other mega menu plugins conflict hmmm sort of at a loss * Plugin Author [tourbillonlabs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tourbillonlabs/) * (@tourbillonlabs) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-is-broken-with-newest-wordpress/#post-13777057) * So the plugin works when max mega menu isn’t enabled?
