Adding hard coded links to footer or header with content area

Support
#1

Hello.
Adding a link in this form works on header and footer
<a href='http://google.fr'>Test</a> with Content Area.
When double quotes are used, the content disappear and there is no way to edit the header or the footer anymore.
The issue was addressed many months ago but still no suitable answer from devs.
Steps to reproduce:

  1. create a header
  2. create a bar
  3. create container
  4. create Content area block.
  5. Put a link with href=’ (single quote), the link stays and it works
  6. Now change single quote with double quotes.
    7.Try to find your content.

Hi There,

Thanks again for asking.
I tested adding double quote in my setup and its working fine. not sure what is happening in your side. You can test for a plugin or a script conflict.

Thanks

Hey @RivmanBx,

I tested in different servers and the issue does not happen on my end also. See https://youtu.be/J6oaDwjILcE.

Looks like there’s something in your system / configuration either in WordPress and / or your server that rejects the double quotes. This usually is related to database character sets. See this article from WordPress for more details.

Try switching to a new web host and try starting from auto-install WordPress to avoid mistakes and configuration and also ensuring you’re using a standard setup.

Thanks.
