Links In Accordions

[White Masquerade]

Hello. When a link is placed within an accordion, it works. After the post is edited again, the link does not work and appears broken. Is there a workaround or any way to fix this?

That's my name now. I guess.




Alright. Here we go! Another of my dumb-ass stuff!


So, as @White Masquerade said, links are a little bit buggy when it comes to accordions. I don't know why, but they are. Anyways, to fixing them!


First of all, we open the editor (I'm pretty sure we all know how to do that), and edit the accordion slide with the link. Double clicking is the way, if some of you did not know.





As you can see here, the code for links are no longer the old [ url ], but rather the html ones < a href >. Highlighted above is what is causing the strange bug. Apparently, if links are copied onto the accordion slide, it ends up this way. All the hrefs have the same link address, and this is confusing the code. (I have no idea what I'm saying here.)


So, to make the link work again, like old times, we replace the new html code < a href >, with the old one [ url ]. You might say it won't work 'cause its bbcode, but it will be auto-translated, so don't worry.





Now that we've changed that, we can save the edit, and the link will now work in the accordion!





Now, if you're wondering what in the world just happened, let me show you.





The old [ url ] code we used was translated in to the current coding system < a href >, and has no errors! The repetitions of the link on the hrefs are gone, so the code is no longer confused. (I guess. Still no idea.)


I hope this solved the problem, and helped you in any way!

Oh my. I still don't get it, but thank you so much.
