Adding and Removing Links

Add a link

There will be times when adding a link is required:

• To connect to a page within the website
• To connect to a page outside of the website
• To connect to a file
• To connect an email address

Process

1. Navigate to the Post or Page that you want to edit
2. Make sure you are in the Visual tab
3. Select the text that you want linked, then press the Insert/edit link button or Ctrl-K, which will open a dialogue box.

   

4. In the Paste URL or type to search field, do one of the following:
   • Type the name of the Page or Post within your website, then select from the options displayed
   • Type or paste in a URL for a page from an outside website
   • Type or paste in an email address in this format, e.g., mailto:john.smith@uth.tmc.edu
5. Press the Link options button

   

6. A new dialogue box appears giving the options to edit or remove the link. Also, a recently-added Title field must have content added to make the link accessible.

   

7. Select the Update button, or click anywhere else in the page to escape the dialogue box
