So I have a normal loop that you can see here:

That `esc_url` function is one I haven’t seen before. Does it work if you remove it? Or use `esc_attr` instead?

I tried that and the normal and still nothing. I still have no clue and I am still going threw forums and posts with no luck.

Here is a link to a screenshot of the inspect. As you can see it shows the link there:

Perhaps it’s something in your JavaScript. Try turning JS off and see if the links work.

Does anybody know why links would not be clickable even though they show up in the source code as a link?

Try typing in the URL manually (or copy/paste from the Inspector) and make sure that works. It might just lead to the same page, which WordPress sometimes create if the link doesn’t exist.

Do you not have a link to send us to?

Are you being taken to a 404 page? If so, go to Settings > Permalinks and just hit save again. Sounds like it could be something wrong with your htaccess.

If you can’t even click it, then it sounds like something is either covering the button or you’ve got some sort of `e.PreventDefault();` or `return false` going on in your JS.

@TheDoc we’ve already established that it isn’t a JS problem – it still didn’t work with JS off.

kmullins,

Check your divs and CSS to make sure nothing is overlapping the link. You can do these easily with inspecting elements. Right-click the TITLE TWO and inspect element and see what pops up.
