Since wordpress 7.0, the internal linking is broken. Any idea? <?php /** * Plugin Name: Fix SmartCrawl LinkControl WP7 */ add_filter( 'script_loader_tag', function( $tag, $handle, $src ) { if ( strpos( $src, 'wds-link-format-button' ) !== false ) { return ''; } return $tag; }, 10, 3 ); This MU helps until official fix Hello @justmark1319 Thanks for the information. Our development team is aware of this issue, where links in the default Page Editor (Gutenberg) can’t be properly edited while SmartCrawl is active. They have worked on a fix and we are looking to release a new version of the plugin soon. Kind regards, Jair. Hello @justmark1319 , Thank you for sharing the temporary solution. The issue should be fixed in future versions, and and update will be posted in the changelog after the release. I’ll be marking this thread as resolved. Please feel free to reopen it, in case you have any questions. Best Regards, Dmytro
