  I am trying to insert a link to a caption under a photo. I highlighted the text, inserted the link when prompted, checked to open in new window then clicked add link. Text is highlighted and looks good, then I click “Save draft” and the link disappears. What am I doing wrong??
  Thanks.

  Hi. According to this, you cannot use any HTML tags in an image caption, hence no links once the post is published.

  However, on this thread, you may find some workarounds:

  Thanks. I thought I had done it before but when I went back the text looks like a hyperlink but doesn’t link. So at least it is consistent! I will put the credit at the bottom of the post – thanks again for steering me to the right posts.
