Import Breaking Links

    Hi Tobias! Thanks for such a great plugin!

    I’m importing a table I made in LibreOffice that has lots of links.

    The links are in the following format when I save the spreadsheet:

    <a href=”https://urlgoeshere.com” target=”_blank”>Link Text</a>

    I save the spreadsheet (tried both .csv and .xslx) and when it shows up in WordPress all the links have become:

    <a href=\""//urlgoeshere.com”\"" target=\""”_blank”\"" rel=\""noopener noreferrer\"">Link Text</a>"

    Any idea on what’s happening? I have other spreadsheets that I’ve uploaded that have turned out fine.

    Thanks again for all your work,
    Colin

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    That’s because your original code somehow has the wrong quotation marks (“curly” ones ” instead of of regular upright ones "). In HTML code, you must use upright ones, i.e.

    <a href="https://urlgoeshere.com" target="_blank">Link Text</a>

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Worked perfectly and what a great catch. I didn’t notice that at all!
