WordPress Link

The WordPress, you can create links in your posts, pages, and other content to direct users to external websites or other pages or posts within your own website. Creating links in WordPress is straightforward, and there are a few ways to do it. Here’s how:

1. Adding Links Using the Block Editor:

If you’re using the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg), follow these steps:

  1. Edit the post or page where you want to add a link.
  2. Select the text or image that you want to turn into a link.
  3. In the block toolbar that appears above the selected content, click the “Link” icon (looks like a chain link).
  4. A pop-up box will appear. You can enter the URL you want to link to in the “URL” field.
  5. You can also use the “Link options” to configure how the link opens. For example, you can choose to open the link in a new tab or window.
  6. Click the “Apply” button to create the link.

2. Adding Links Using the Classic Editor:

If you’re using the classic editor, follow these steps:

  1. Edit the post or page where you want to add a link.
  2. Highlight the text or image you want to link.
  3. Click the “Insert/edit link” button in the toolbar. It looks like a chain link.
  4. A pop-up box will appear where you can enter the URL you want to link to.
  5. You can also specify the target attribute, such as opening the link in a new tab.
  6. Click the “Add Link” button to create the link.

3. Adding Links in the Text Editor:

If you prefer to work directly in the HTML text editor, you can manually create links using HTML anchor tags. Here’s an example:

HTML
<a href="https://www.example.com">Visit Example Website</a>

In this example, replace "https://www.example.com" with the URL you want to link to and "Visit Example Website" with the anchor text you want to display.

After adding a link, be sure to save or update your post or page to apply the changes.

Creating links is a fundamental skill when working with WordPress, as it allows you to connect your content to other web resources or internal pages, enhancing the user experience and providing valuable navigation for your readers.
