Title: Posts Having Links Disabled Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Posts Having Links Disabled * Resolved [Gemma017](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gemma017/) * (@gemma017) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-having-links-disabled/) * I am manually adding my posts to my pages. * Only now that I come to update a page, I find that one post has its link disabled. * I have eight links on a page, and now I have seven on updating. * Can anybody explain to me what is going on? * I would like to have relevant posts attached to a page, only it seems I cannot have more than four, five or eight depending on which page these posts are linked from. * Can anybody help here? Thanks.

The one you find under“ Page”. * I could use a standard text editor to edit my pages of course, the problem with the links being disabled would probably persist once this code was pasted into he WordPress editor. * Thread Starter [Gemma017](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gemma017/) * (@gemma017) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-having-links-disabled/#post-3388643) * Is there any answer to this problem?

The problem is that the WordPress interface is removing them once they are published – or when I move from “visual” to “text”. Has this perhaps anything to do with “moderate any comments with more than one link” – only these aren’t comments, they’re fully blown pages. It puzzles me that this should happen, as I could post as many links as I chose when using my hand-cranked html site. * I will add that I am an active member of several forums and give advice freely– just as long as I can help. I think this needs a little understanding. * Thread Starter [Gemma017](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gemma017/) * (@gemma017) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-having-links-disabled/#post-3388685) * May I point out that the problem seems to be with the WordPress interface – or has to do with some kind of exception that I can manage should I know where the button is hidden. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-having-links-disabled/#post-3388686) * > or when I move from “visual” to “text”. * Aha! That’s the answer I needed to the question I asked earlier! Moving back & forth between Text & Visual will wipe out inserted markup. General rule of thumb: pick an editing tab for a Post and then stick to it. * And please bear in mind that I do take breaks from time to time. To eat, amongst other things. 🙂 * Moderator [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) * (@jdembowski) * Forum Moderator and Brute Squad * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-having-links-disabled/#post-3388687) * Moving back and fourth will wipe out _inserted by hand_ markup. Inserted by the TinyMCE buttons in the Visual Editor mode should be fine. 😉 Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 26 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-having-links-disabled/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-having-links-disabled/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘Posts Having Links Disabled’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [links](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/links/) * [pages](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/pages/) * [posts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/posts/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 26 replies * 8 participants * Last reply from: [haibigboy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/haibigboy/) * Last activity: [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-having-links-disabled/page/2/#post-3388923) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
