Hello,
I apologize for the issue you are facing with the Link Controls in the Gutenberg editor. The absence of the Sponsored link option may be due to the theme you are using or the specific settings in your WordPress installation.
To ensure that you have access to all link control features, please check if your theme supports this functionality. You can refer to the official documentation for more details on theme support for link controls.
If you continue to experience issues, please reply to this ticket with your site URL, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that this issue might have caused.
Assuming you are using the latest version of all the plugins and the themes (please update if not yet), it could be caused by a conflict with one of your plugins/theme.
To determine that, please follow this troubleshooting guide:

Only the site admin would know and your users won’t be affected by this troubleshooting.
Let us know how this goes.
Thank you.

Hello,
We might need to take a closer look at your website to investigate this further. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.
It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the plugin below to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/
You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

We really look forward to helping you.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
I created a sandbox area (using WP Engine as host). The sandbox begins with the “Genesis Block Theme” as the active theme. I go into the “Hello World!”) post, add a button and when editing the button link, under advanced I have “Open in a new Tab” and “Mark as nofollow”.
I then install and active Rank Math. I go back into the “Hello World!” post and the button link still only has those two options under advanced. I create a second button and no change. I then change my active theme to “Twenty Twenty-Five”, go back into the “Hello World!” post and there is no change.
So with a fresh WordPress install, this isn’t working for me. Any suggestions?
Hello,
Thank you for your patience.
Though the temporary login URL you shared has expired, we can replicate the issue as you described on our end and have informed the developers. We will let you know once the issue is fixed.
Once we have an update about this, we will inform you here as well.
We really appreciate your patience in the meantime.
Looking forward to helping you.
Hello,
The RankMath link attributes options works for links but does not, for the button blocks. We might consider making this improvement in the future.
We apologize for the inconveniences that might have been caused as a result of this.
Thank you.
