Error message displaying ‘link’ post type in ALB post element

Hello @Ismael.

No, I did not replace the file. I re-uploaded the file from the source and the error continues to appear if the post type is set to link.
I’ve tested further and the error only occurs with link type posts. Any other post format is fine.

The content of the post is:

<a href="https://www.merchsmerch.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Online Merch from Lowest of the Low!</a>

Mugs? <strong>Check!</strong>

T-shirts? <strong>Check!</strong>

Keychains, hoodies, posters, pins, hats, toques, and more!

Hello. I’m not permitted to give you s/ftp access to the site (I don’t own access to the server).

However, I tried an experiment on another Enfold site I manage:

• created a post with link format. used THE EXACT SAME POST CONTENT as I shared above (I copy and pasted from the text tab of the standard WP post editor)
• created a test page, enabled ALB
• added a Blog Posts element from ALB to test page
• published and viewed

Result
I get the same error message on this site.

So, I played around a bit more. The issue seems to be with the link itself:

Online Merch from Lowest of the Low!

If this link is the first line in the post, then it produces the error message.
If any non-space character precedes the link, (I tried an   entity), then the error doesn’t happen. So, if I wrap the link in a <p> element it’s fine.

I think your regex musn’t be happy with the starting < character it encounters as the first line of the string.

If I get a chance I’ll try this on a clean install, but perhaps you could test at your end?

Yes, that’s consistent with what I saw. In fact, the reason I changed the link text was because of the behaviour you describe. I didn’t want the URL to be the title of the post in the ALB blog list.

For the time being, I’ve thrown in a non breaking space entity to prevent the error from appearing.
