Link issues

  • Unknown's avatar

    I am trying to insert a hyperlink on my page to a post I’ve made. I have the same type of links on this page (and the other page I am having the same issue with) which have all worked fine, until recently. When I attempt to add a link, the text I am left with (after entering the link title and the URL) is the URL and it is actually a non-functioning link: it doesn’t do anything. I have tried everything I can think of, I’ve had a computer tech look at it, and he has said it is not my computer but the website. I have another issue, I have added a page for my menu bar, it is not appearing on my web page, yet is listed in the list of pages when I look at them from the administrator page. Please help.

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

    Hey HummingbirdPages,

    I think I found the page you are referencing. As well, I can see why you are frustrated. So, if we have a look at some of the links that work on your Writing page they look like this…

    <a href="https://hummingbirdpages.wordpress.com/2016/12/15/bitter-but-kind/">Bitter, but kind.</a>

    This is what one of broken links looks like…

    <a href="http://Llamacorns bitches">https://hummingbirdpages.wordpress.com/2017/01/08/llamacorns-bitches/</a>

    Why the broken links looks like this I am not sure. If you go into your Writing page, and instead of being in the visual editor for the page, go over to the text editor and copy the following to replace the bad link for the Llamacorns bitches:

    <a href="https://hummingbirdpages.wordpress.com/2017/01/08/llamacorns-bitches/">Llamacorns Bitches</a>">Bitter, but kind.</a>

    If you make the other two broken links look like this you will be back in business.

    As a side note once you fix the broken links you will want to flip back to the visual editor and make some of the links bold to match the others. Assuming you want them bold like the others.

    I hope this helps.
