Add Links to Posts, Pages, and Widgets

There are a couple of ways to add links to posts, pages, widgets, and anywhere else that you normally edit text.

Method One: The Link Button

Copy the URL you want to use to your computer's clipboard.
- You can do this by highlighting a URL, then right-clicking it and choosing Copy, or by using a keyboard shortcut like CTRL + C (PC) or CMD + C (Mac).
In your page or post, highlight the text you want to link.
Click the link icon that appears in the block toolbar.
Paste the URL into the window that appears, then hit enter to save the link.

You can also search for a post or page on your site in the link search field by starting to type the title of the page or post. You can then click on that page or post to insert that link:
