Glitch List
Submit a web support ticket to Report a Bug/Issue if you find a glitch.
Byte Size Tutorial
- Invisible link error: Sometimes the Accessibility & Usability Panel will report a “link with missing or invalid href” error, but the details pane will be empty and no broken link will be visible on the front-end. Usually this happens when copy-pasting or modifying a link accidentally creates an empty link tag (
<a></a>) or link with an empty URL (<a href="">). A quick way to track down the problem tag is to select the Options menu in the WordPress editor (the button with three vertical dots in the upper right of the window) and select Code Editor. Once there, you can search (Ctrl + F) for “<a></a>“, “href=""“, or “<a” to step through the links and find the broken link. - Feature requests: If you have a suggestion for a new feature or need new functionality, open a Web Support Ticket, select General Help, and describe both the need and the suggested feature in the description field.
