Creating or editing a link

Everywhere in the CMS you create a link in the same way: in the text of a page, on a button, and in the description of a post, product or other item.

Creating a link

  1. Select the text that should become a link.
  2. Click the link icon in the toolbar (or press Ctrl+K, on a Mac Cmd+K).
  3. Next to Link, choose where the link goes, and then the destination after it (see below).
  4. Under Link target, choose Internal (opens in the same window) or External (opens in a new tab).
  5. Click Save or press Enter. Press Esc to stop without changing anything.

Quick web address? Copy the address, select the text and paste. The text becomes a link straight away that opens in a new tab.

Where can a link go?

  • Page: a page of your website. Under Section you can choose a part of that page, so the visitor jumps straight to it.
  • Collection (overview): the overview of, for example, all your posts or products.
  • Collection item: one post, product, project, photo album, vacancy or event from the calendar. Choose the collection and search for the item. If you choose a download, the link opens the file, in the language of the page (see Downloads on your website). If you choose a review, the link goes to that review on your reviews page.
  • URL: another website, for example www.example.com.
  • Video link: a video on YouTube or Vimeo.
  • File: a document from the File manager, for example a PDF. A file always opens in a new tab.
  • Email address: the visitor emails you directly.
  • Phone number: on a phone, the visitor calls you directly. Just type the number the way you are used to; we make sure it also works from abroad.

Editing, removing or opening a link

Click a link. A small bar appears showing where the link goes, with the buttons Edit, Remove (the text stays) and Open. For a button, this is also how you change where the button goes.

Will my link keep working?

Yes. A link to a page, overview, item or file on your own website keeps working, even if you later change the name or address of that page, and in every language of your website.

Do you remove something, or make it hidden? Then the link on your website becomes plain text, so visitors don't end up on an error page. When you publish, you see at the top which links these are, with a pencil to fix them straight away. In the page editor they have a red dotted line.
