When I try to post  hyperlink to a word, for example 'ARCHIVE'

it displays like this 

https://www.mysite.com/questions-asked/  ‎" target="true">Click HERE

Any ideas please?

 

ps. I have cleared the cache.

The strange thing is, this only seems to happen in the Q&A forum.

I can post a text link fine in my other forums.

Also I have no idea why my post above is now displaying in a strange box. I have tried to remove the link using remove link tool above editor  here but it fails to break the hyperlink.

I have just found that if the text that I choose to hyperlink in exactly the same as the destination URL, the display of the link is messed up.

Also, foro is adding a full stop in between the https/./ as soon as the link address is hyperlinked to the exact same destination url.

However, if my written link is change to epic.uk.com and hyperlinked to the full destination URL ( https://www.epic.uk.com/) the link displays correctly.

So to recap, if I want to hyperlink  https://www.epic.uk.com/ I cannot set the destination URL to exactly this same address. If I do, the result is as per the attachment below.

Please explain the issue in one post to allow me follow you. I'm sorry but I didn't understand what the problem. wpForo don't add extra dot in URLs.
