Linking to internal pages in WordPress is a great way to help visitors navigate your website and keep them engaged. Internal links provide users with an easy way to move from one page to another and can help search engines crawl and index your content.
Here’s how to link to internal pages in WordPress.
1. Use the WordPress menu system
The WordPress menu system is the most efficient way to link to internal pages in WordPress. To create a menu, go to “Appearance > Menus” in the WordPress dashboard and select “Create a new menu.” Then, add the pages you want to link to by selecting “Add to Menu” next to each page. You can also use the drag-and-drop feature to rearrange the order of the pages.
2. Use the insert/edit link tool
The Insert/Edit Link tool is a great way to link to internal pages in WordPress. To use it, simply highlight the text you want to link and then click the Insert/Edit Link button. From there, you can search for the page you want to link to and insert the link.
3. Manually link in the text editor
To set a link manually you’ll need to use the Text Editor instead of the Visual Editor. Click the Text tab at the top right of the screen to switch to the Text Editor. To create a link, you’ll need to use HTML code. Type in the HTML code for the link, which will look like this:
<a href=”https://example.com/page-name/”>Link Text</a>
Replace “example.com” with your own website URL, and replace “page-name” with the slug of the page you want to link to.
Replace “Link Text” with the text you want to display for the link. Once you’ve created the link, click the Preview button at the top right of the page to make sure it works. If you’re happy with the link, click the Publish button to make it live on your website.
Linking to internal pages in WordPress is a great way to improve the navigation of your website and help visitors find the content they’re looking for. With a few simple steps, you can easily create a link to any page or post on your site.
