ok. that’s a shame. i understand, but it’s still a shame. stuff like sharing/download is such an intrinsically critical feature to have blocked.

regarding the URL code fragment: you stated that you need to recreate a post if you ever wish to change the URL for the video displayed on your instruction manual because WordPress doesn’t let the URL get refreshed.

but, when you delete the old URL, you’d usually be in either the backend editor or visual editor. that makes sense.

but, once you’ve deleted that old URL, there is a fragment of code left, that you can only see – and then delete – in the text editor. this fragment code actually contains the old URL. so you renew the URL, but there is code, higher up the page (so to speak) that still contains the old URL)

so, in effect, you delete the old URL you can see, but the old URL is still there – it’s just hidden unless you check via the text editor

create a post with a URL. delete the URL. then look in the text editor – you’ll see what I mean

Hiya Andrea,

Many thanks for coming back to me.

The issue is the same whether by Jetpack or a 3rd party plugin: if posting a URL direct, it isn’t an issue

i like wp bakery and don’t intend to not use it for posts – it’s much easier to work with than the classic mode; i’ll more likely just delete out tumblr account as i don’t want the extra work of having to delete the html for posts that do get sent over to tumblr automatically from wordpress

thanks anwyay
