Create hyperlink to categories?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I was wondering if I can create a hyperlink on a page that will take me to the results from the category. For example, on my “Portfolio” page https://wordpress.com/page/statestreetinteriors2.wordpress.com/456
    can I create a hyperlink within the body copy that says “LIVING & FAMILY:” that would take me to my category results for “Living & Family” (which is listed in the menu as a category and not a page?

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

    Hi statestreetinteriors1,

    Just to clarify you want to direct site visitors to a category link?

    If you were to link them to https://statestreetinteriors2.wordpress.com/category/in-studio/accessories-artwork/, they would then be directed to this list of posts that fall under this category.

    Let me know if you need more clarification,

    Hello,

    If you wish to do what @jameshelps has explained. Here is what you can do;

    In addition to pages you have already published, you can add several different types of menu items to your custom menu:

    Page – Adds a link to another page on your site.
    Custom Link – Adds a custom URL linking to another site.
    Category – Shows a feed of blog posts from a given category.
    Tag – Shows a feed of blog posts from a given tag.
    Post – links directly to a blog post on your site.

    To add one of these menu items:

    Within the customizer -> Menu
    Click on the + Add Items button.

    Choose a menu item type from the list. The category in your case.
    And save the menu.

    Here you have a detailed reference that can help.
