Help with creating a link
-
I don’t know how to make a link click-able in my text widget. I’m using the Modern News by Studio Press theme if that makes a difference. I’ve included a link for reference. On the left, under “Water Facts” I want people to be able to click on the link. Created the text directly in the “‘text” widget, not the new post box so I didn’t see a way to do this.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Make the link in the Post editor in visual mode (use junk post or Temp Post)
Then switch editor to Text Mode and copy the html code you find – paste into Text Widget – and done

Picking up where auxclass left off using a draft post is the way to go.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/This is the general link model:
<a href="URL HERE">Highlighted anchor text here</a>
This is the visual result but as it’s just an example it’s not actually linked to a page:
Highlighted anchor text hereEnter the anchor text you want to link to first.
Then use your mouse to highlight that anchor text.
Next click the chain icon in the Visual editor and proceed to create the link.
Once you have done that then you switch to the Text (HTML) editor and copy the code. http://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/#switching-editors
Paste that code your copied into a text widget.
Lastly, delete the draft post. -
Thank you both so much! It worked! That was driving me absolutely nuts because I couldn’t figure out what to do. I will keep the link model handy for future reference so that I don’t have to seek support for this same issue again. :)
