'Paste URL or Type To Search' Box Has Disappeared From Button Editing
7 replies · Started by Alec on July 2, 2022
Usually when i click into buttons, a white box titled 'Paste URL or Type To Search' appears next to it which allows me to quickly paste in an affiliate link. Now when i click into buttons, nothing appears. It has the 'change link' icon in the top toolbar yes but editing with that is no where near as efficient. How can i get this box to appear again so i can quicky paste links into buttons. I would send a screenshot if there was an option. I have updated to the newest generatepress and generateblocks pro if that caused change.
Thanks,
Alec
Hi there,
you can share a screenshot by saving it a cloud drive, your WP Media Library or some other online sharing service, and then just provide the URL to it.
Ok, please see link to images in private information

Hi David,
Thanks Yes i can see that option but it's far less efficient and quick than the pop up white box. With the pop up white box, you just need to click into the button and you immediately see what hyperlink is in the button. With the link button in the toolbar, we now have to first click into the button which shows nothing and then click the toolbar link icon. It doubles the steps needed to edit which seems small but not when you have hundreds of buttons.
Has the white box been removed so or we request to get it back?? Seems like a strange backwards step in terms of efficiency if its gone.
Thanks,
Alec
We changed it to match the same behaviour as the core blocks, it now users a lot of cores code. Aside from reducing GBs code it improved stability as we had to maintain our code everytime WP updated theres.
Ok thanks for explaining
Thanks for understanding !
