Adding a link

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello,
    I tried to link to one of my own posts. I put in the URL link and title of the post, and then clicked Add Link. Everything looked fine, but when I came back and click on the highlighted text, the link does not work. Can anyone point me to the right direction? Where did I do wrong? Is there a step that I missed? Many thanks for your help!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    I did that. I followed every step, and it still doesn’t work. The instruction there is pretty straightforward. URL, title, and add link, right? Anything I missed?

    When you say “the link does not work” can you explain what happens? What does it look like? Give us a link to the post that contains the link.

    In the sentence “click this link to learn more”, I highlighted “this link”. After the URL and title boxes are filled, I clicked on “add link”, then I clicked “this link”, which had changed color and is underlined, nothing happened. The link does not bring me to the text.

    Hope this explains. Thanks for your time!

    Hello again,
    Every post title is a permalink. Give us the title link to the post that contains “click this link to learn more”.

    Do you mean the title of my post? It’s Salt Mania. That’s an older post I would want to put it in my new post “Repatriation”.

    Sorry if i get it wrong, i am very new to wordpress, and this is my very first time adding a link!

    I appreciate your help!

    Did you try to click on it while you were still in the editor? That won’t do anything. Either preview the post and click the new link or right-click the link in your editor and choose to open it in a new tab. Or simply post it & test then! :-) (And we’re all new to something sometime, and learning new stuff is fun! So don’t worry about asking questions!)

    Wow, it works now. You said it, I did click on it in the editor only. After your reply, I went out of the editor and to the actual post, it worked! I have been working on this the whole morning and now I did it, with your help! I am so grateful! Thanks so much! Sorry too many exclamation marks!

    It is fun to learn new stuff.
