Inserting Links and using Images as links in WordPress Posts and Pages
Most Word processing applications such as Microsoft Word will automatically transform URL’s into a Hyperlink.
In WordPress it’s a little more work than that … but ‘Inserting a link’ into your post is quick and easy when you know how.
1. Select the text or image that you want to be a link then Click on the ‘Insert / Edit link button’
Click on an image for a larger view
2. In the Window that Opens.
Enter the URL of the web site or web page you want to link to into the Link URL text box (see image below)
3. In the Target textbox you can set whether you want the link to open in a new browser window or the same window.
4. The Title text box is a description of the link and is used by some browsers as Alt text
5. You can also change the Class (formatting) of the link
Don’t worry about this unless you know what you’re doing
6. Click on the ‘Insert’ Button …
You’re done! You can now Save and preview and test the link or publish your Post.
