Installer Anchor links bug, on plain text and So Text editor widget
I recently noticed that my anchor links, which were are all set to open in a new tab have been removed.
When I go to look at the problem, I find the Check removed. It’s happening on both blog post in WP plain text editor, as well on pages with Siteorigin Text Editor.
I’m assuming the problem is not related to PB widget plugin. Otherwise, it wouldn’t happen on WP plain text editor too.
Maybe caused by latest WP updates I believe, because this is, in fact, happened just recently, never had such bug before.

5Forgot to mention, sometimes the tab to fill the “link title” don0t show up.
And here the link of the site affected
While awaiting the reply, I went to look on some page I recently updated as this one
Just as above, for some unknown reasons the tags target=”_blank” have been removed from anchor links.
What I also noticed, is that PB buttons are not affected by this bug, just hypertext links.
Btw, I can’t find edit post button on forum, so I’m forced to add a new one.
This is instead a blog post edited 2 weeks ago which is affected by same problem
Found the origin of the problem.
I’m currently using a proofreader / spellchecker software, and it open a new tab dragging the text to highlight the errors and add corrections. Once you apply the changes, this software removes the checks on “open into a new tab” the anchor links.
For the record, in case someone have the same problem, the live editor is Grammarly.
Hi Andrea
I’ve actually had problems with the Grammarly plugin too. It seems to modify some HTML elements and add its own styling which breaks a few admin interfaces. I’ve since stopped using it for this very reason.
