I haven't used word press in a year or so, but recently began updating my website: (www.mikemcenroe.com)
There were several functional problems all of which evaporated when I updated to the latest Word press and/or shut off all plug-ins except one: The damned link button won't work.
What I've done so far:
1. I updated to the latest version and restarted browser and computer.
2. tried different browsers (Firefox, Explorer, and Chrome)
3. I deactivated all plugins - this did not help.
4. I used a different theme: my link button works just fine with "Twenty Eleven" whether or not my plugins are active, but becomes inoperative again once I switch back to the Dandelion theme (thanks to the 'auto-save feature' I was able to correct all the dead links in a different theme without resorting to html - which I very slow with).
Even though the fixes were made there are a number of things I would like to change and add over the next few weeks and I would love to have the link button back. I've read all the forums on the subject that I could find, but need a guru's guidance. Any help I can get would be most appreciated.
