Solution – WordPress Image links not Saving

Gary Eckstein WordPress 0 , , ,

Is the required hyperlink/URL not saving on your WordPress Blog or Website images? I recently saw this problem for the second time and have discovered a solution.

I’ve seen a few articles that recommend that the problem of image links not being saved on a Page or Post is related to either or all of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Firefox or Internet Explorer however, where this error was occurring that I saw, all browsers were affected. This error is also a known WordPress problem.

Anyway, I don’t yet know what is causing the image hyperlinks to disappear but here is a solution that worked for me:

  1. Go to ‘Edit Page’ or ‘Edit Post’ where you have the problem.
  2. Click the image and then the ‘Edit Image’ icon
  3. Click the ‘Advanced Settings’ tab
  4. Under ‘Advanced Link Settings’ delete anything in the ‘CSS Class’ filed
  5. Click Update.
  6. Again, click the image and then the ‘Edit Image’ icon
  7. On the ‘Edit Image’ tab enter the required link URL in the ‘Link URL’ field.
  8. Click ‘Update’
  9. Click Update to save your Page or Post.
  10. Smile :)
