I posted a youtube video and two copies of the video appeared in the post.  I thought that somewhat odd and I went to the post and the entire post was hyperlinked to that video.  In other words if you tried to click the delete button you went to the video, if you tried to click any part of the post you went to the video.  The entire post was acting like one big hyperlink.  So I tried re-loading that post and when it was reloaded nothing was hyperlinked.  All of the links to moderate or edit or delete etc were simply text and not hyperlinked.  I logged out and logged back in but that didn't make any difference. I checked and my admin account continues to function properly on other posts and is able to edit, delete etc.  Just this one post.

 

Any suggestions on my next steps?  Does it need to be dumped via the database? Is this a common occurrence?  Would really appreciate some help with this.

 

Thanks!

 

Tom

Hi @tom-golden,

Something went wrong with HTML. Please try to find and delete the post from the Dashboard > Forums > Moderation > Published tab.

Oh thank you!  I didn't know that mod area was there.  Just what I needed.  All taken care of and hopefully it was a blip on the screen.  From looking at the code it appeared that it was trying to embed?  Is that what the app does?  Takes the url and then creates embed code?  Must be since I know I only pasted in the link.  

 

Thanks for your help with this!

 

Tom

@tom-golden,

Probably there was only one additional symbol or a tag that mess the HTML structure. I don't think there is a global issue.
