After I migrated to WordPress, I opened a post and was unable to create a hyperlink. When I tried, I selected some text and clicked the Insert/edit Link button and instead of getting the insert/edit link screen, I was presented with a download dialog. For some reason, the form would not display in the window that was so clearly defined for it.

Add link failure in WordPress blog post

Whenever I try to edit an image, I also receive the same treatment.

This same failure occurs on different browsers, however in IE I don’t get a file download, just a blank, white area like you see in the image above.

This failure also occurs on different computers, which leads me to believe that there is something wrong with my install of WordPress, or perhaps one of the plugins I’m using is causing this problem.

So while I’m continuing to work on this problem, I thought it would be interesting to see if anyone who frequents my blog knows how to resolve this issue.

I’ll give $10 to the first person that can tell me exactly how to fix this. Leave a response below if you think you know why this happens. If that leads to me fixing the issue, I’ll give you $10. Simple. Ask anything you need to.

UPDATE!

I made a video to show the issue in better detail
