I decided to do a proper root cause analysis. My WP installation was so modified over the years, I stood up an empty AWS server and built a LAMP. Installed WP fresh, applied the plug in and it works fine. Must have been something conflicting with my old installation. Thanks for the help. -sh
I have tried the shortcodes above. In this case, the insert link does not work, on both a post and a regular page. Clicking insert takes no action. I have tried both codes with trouble shooting on, to deactivate all other plugins with the same result. Is there a setting I’m missing? I wrote a custom php app with the same database for crud operations and it works fine. So I don’t think it is a database issue. I’ve dumped my WP server setup to a PDF, not sure how to attach a file to the thread if it would help.
