  I have tried inserting links for url’s in both visual and text editing. Neither seems to work. I have existing links that are working correctly, but can’t seem to add new ones using the text editor. Manually added links show the url address which I don’t want. I have used multiple wordpress user guides for text and widgets and still no luck. I must be doing something wrong, but can’t figure it out.

  Thanks for any help you can offer.

  This is the guide for creating links in posts and pages: http://en.support.wordpress.com/links/

  This is the general link model:
  <a href="URL HERE">Highlighted anchor text here</a>
  This is the visual result – it’s not actually linked here in the forum.
  Highlighted anchor text here

  1. Enter the relevant descriptive anchor text you want to link to first. Note that “here” is not a good choice.
  2. Then use your mouse to highlight that anchor text. (If you don’t highlight the anchor text the chain icon will remain grayed out and not be useable.)
  3. Next click the chain icon in the editor and proceed to create the link.
