 * Did you try changing your permalink settings? Go into `setting >> permalinks`
   choose `custom structure` and type this in: `/%postname%/` .
    Maybe this will
   work for you.

 * Abinav, i just posted my full problem saying this:
    Just this morning I went 
   to create links to other sites/videos as I’ve always done. When I hilite the 
   word I want to be a hyperlink, I click on the link icon in toolbar (as always)
   and then enter the URL it should take users to. When I hit update, now a pop 
   up box opens up asking if I want to Leave the Page or Stay. If I choose Stay,
   it goes back to draft post with no link. If I choose Leave, it erases my draft
   post and gives me a new blank one. either way, I’m unable to insert any links.
   I’ve tried refreshing to no avail. Any solutions here?
 * Just checking – do same solution? (I’m not techie at all)

 * Hmm….If that’s the case,try deactivating the plugins you are using.This could
   be due to some plugin in there. Do try out the permalink settings too.

 * Thank you! I did that – deactivated all plugins, then reactivated one, went back
   to Posts & tried the linking option (it worked), then back to Plugins and added
   another one, tried linking in the post again, etc. Of course is was the very 
   last plugin: WordPress SEO by Yoast, but I deactivated it and now I can link 
   again. Many thanks! (To be fair, the plugin site does say it’s in Beta and there
   are no guarantees it’ll work)

 * for abinav:
    Thank you for your soggestions. I had the same problem, changing
   from one theme to another, and now, after changing the permalink settings, everything
   works well again. Many thanks again
