Title: Insert/Edit Link Not Working Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Insert/Edit Link Not Working * [ayepal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ayepal/) * (@ayepal) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insertedit-link-not-working/) * When i am giving a source on one of my posts i like to give the name of the source and then add a link to the name so readers can just click the name. But lately, when i try to add a link to a word and then click update on the inset link bit it just redirects me to my posts page and doesn’t insert the link. Why is it doing this?

I have tried emptying my cache and switching from Safari to Firefox but so far, nothing seems to be working. I am highlighting the text I wish to link, clicking on the link button where the insert/edit link box pops up to enter the URL. I enter it, click “add link”, and then it brings me back to the Post page, and does not add the required URL.
