Thanks for looking into this. No, I have not added “fancybox-iframe” to any of my links. I do add target=”_blank” and rel=”noreferrer noopener” If fancybox-iframe is required, then that’s the problem. … What I don’t understand is that the links worked for a month or two after I installed Firelight. Then stopped.
In case you need more info: Here’s my html for an image on my blog –> without <brackets> so it doesn’t make it an image. Each line has brackets at start and end … except that the img line is so long that it has a natural line break.
There is a caption area on the image block — choose it at the [] in the tools band. To enter a caption I choose the [], type a caption, then highlight the text and put a link on it. i.e. the <figure> has a <figcaption> for text + link.
I put links on all images that are not my own. I do not put links on Metaslider captions.
I was going to show you the HTML behind the link on the pasted image below (It is a regular old image on my blog, not Metaslider). It was automatically turned it into a real image with caption. If I had Firelight Lightbox turned on and you clicked on the caption link, you’d see the “Requested content cannot be loaded” message.
This is definitely still an issue and I’m very disappointed that 6.3.2 did not fix it. I blog ahead so I presently have 23 drafts, and am about to create 15 more. I use the date-change field to reshuffle future articles. It’s terribly time consuming to edit each one individually just to change the date.
I also cannot backup since I updated to Updraft Version:1.16.62 on 5 October for my website: https://www.birdsoutsidemywindow.org/
Updraft has failed every time with these telltale messages at/near the end:

Though it is supposed to upload to DropBox it never gets that far.
Here are two failed attempts: 2021-10-05 and 10-08: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3y9twmren61wjgq/log.434a4c81f83d_20211005_failed.txt?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/lt6b940k0hvaznb/log.1b09e4201ffe_20211008_failed.txt?dl=0

I’m putting in my vote too that I DO NOT LIKE the new inline linking for the same reason as velvetlounger described above.
I’ve used target=”_blank” since I began my blog in 2007 and am quite surprised to find that it’s a no-no. Lots of people who read my blog will tell me when they find something clunky, yet no one has ever complained about links opening in a new tab.
So I’ve learned two new things: (1) Apparently I’ve been misbehaving for 9 years. (2) My readers are either unaware of this rule or they’re too polite to tell me.
Sigh.
I posted about this problem 9 hours ago as “Can’t upload images and must use Flash 10.” I delayed loading Flash 10 until 2 weeks ago. My blog is on a TV station website that has Flash VIDEO everywhere – so I have to have it. Please, please fix this in WordPress. I simply cannot go back to Flash 9.
And by the way, the machinations I tried today to go back to Flash 9 caused Firefox to crash. I went back up to Flash 10 & Firefox is better but still flaky. It dies suddenly for no reason.
