How Do I Make an External Link in WordPress?

An external link is a link to a website other than the one you are currently viewing. In order to create an external link in WordPress, you first need to find the URL of the website you want to link to.

Once you have the URL, you can use the WordPress link editor to create the link.

To create a link in the WordPress link editor, first find the post or page you want to link to. Next, click the “Link” button to the right of the post or page title. In the “Link” window that pops up, enter the URL of the website you want to link to.

(Note: You can also enter a custom link if you want.) Finally, click the “OK” button to save the link.

WordPress will automatically generate a “Href” attribute for the link, which you can use to specify the URL of the link in your blog posts and WordPress posts. (Note: The “Href” attribute is only visible when you view the post in the “Editor” mode.)

If you want to make the link permanent, you can also add the “301 Moved Permanently” HTTP response code to the link. (Note: The “301 Moved Permanently” HTTP response code is only visible when you view the post in the “Editor” mode.)

If you want to disable the link editor from generating links, you can set the “Link Editor” option to “Disable” in the “General” menu of the WordPress admin area.

In conclusion, creating an external link in WordPress is easy and can be done in just a few steps.
