  Why is my url link in my actual blog post not showing as a link? I can’t get it to work – Don’t understand why code for linking a url is refusing to work.

  I want people to be able to click on the url in my post & go straight to the site. Why can’t I get this to work?

  Are you using the visual editor or the Code editor? Are you actually putting in the code to make it a link, or are you just pasting it in and expecting it to be live? That works here in the forum, but not on the blog.

  ‘What to say here‘
  Example in code:
  ‘My blog‘
  =
  My blog

  Oops that was not a backtic I guess:
  anyway put this in code:
  <a href="url here">What to say</a>
  Example:
  <a href="http://orbvab.wordpress.com">My blog</a>
  =
  My blog

  The Code editor. I was putting in the code to make it a link. It just won’t show up as a link. As for Visual Editor – the only 2 things that it won’t let me click on are the link buttons – so I can’t even use Visual Editor to add links.

  In the Visual Editor you need to highlight the text you wish to use for the link and then click the icon.

  In the Code Tab, you need to use the link button or the <a href coding as outlined above.
