Comment:
Hey, I tried reproducing this on a fresh WP 7.0 install but couldn't. A
few questions to help narrow it down:
- Is it Block Editor or Classic Editor?
- Does the pop-up not open at all, or does it open but not save?
- Are you typing the URL with `https://`, or just pasting something like
`example.com`?
A screenshot or quick screencast (Loom is handy for this) would go a long
way.
Also, could you try the same steps on https://playground.wordpress.net/?
It's a clean WP 7.0 environment in your browser, no setup needed. If it
works there, the issue is likely a plugin or theme conflict on your site
rather than a core bug.
