linking one page to another, and locating the page that is to be linked
-
Hello. I’m assuming that there’s no link pages tool that allows you to select from your list of pages to link one page on the site to another. So we need to use the Insert Link tool that is set up for linking to external pages. But this requires that we know the location and the exact name of the file (ie page) that we’re linking to. How do I find out what directories wordpress puts the pages when created? Also, my page title is a multi-word sentence, would that given title be the file name?

On the edit page of your page 8-) there’s a field called page-slug: the link to the page will have the format:
http://blogname.wordpress.com/page-slug/
If the page is a child of another page, the format will be:http://blogname.wordpress.com/parent-page-slug/child-page-slug/
Where:
“blogname.wordpress.com” is the name of your wordpress.com blog
“page-slug” or “child-page-slug” is the page slug of the page you want to link to and
“parent-page-slug” is the page slug of the parent page (if any) -
Hello Janbel. Quick fix:
1) Open the page that you want to link to
2) Select and COPY the ENTIRE url that appears in your browser.
(Ctrl + C for PC / Command + C for Mac)
3) Paste that url using the standard Insert Link tool
(Ctrl + V for PC / Command + V for Mac)
4) And Vwa La !Hope this helps
