Links don't display

  • On one of my pages I list links to other pages that are subordinate to it. Editing the page in Text view in WP, I have something that looks like the following. I entered the links through WP’s automated link feature, so they’ve got to be correct. So why does the ordered list show up empty when the page is displayed? Thanks.

  • The ‘title=’ bit only produces a tooltip – ie some text when you hover over the words. You still need to put text between the > and the </a> whatever you want it to say. Most people don’t bother with “title”

    so your code should read

    I have left the “title” in the first one so that you can see what it looks like when you hover over it – up to you whether you put it for each or not !

    Not sure why WP “automated bit” didn’t do it
