    Hi

    I’m making use of the category description on my site to place a paragraph above all the links within that category, and would like to be able to put a href link within the text of that description. Is this already possible with some kind of shortcode or something?

    Thanks!

  • Hello,

    I added links inside the description of the categories. Just use the “Visual” editor in WordPress, not the “Text”.
    Text mode is useful to copy and paste words or sentences from other pages and to clear formatting from copied text.
    Visual mode is useful to create links or formatting without knowing and typing all the “https://…”, “H1, H2”, “Bold, italic…” codes.

    I also added icons from the media library of WordPress.

    With TinyMCE, it’s exactly the same options as WordPress articles or pages creation. I don’ use Gutenberg, but TinyMCE.
    If you want to use TinyMCE, install Classic Editor and Advanced Editor Tools plugins.

    Thanks very much for replying. I’m confortable with the html, etc. I’d already tried inserting a link and it hadn’t worked, but it must have contained a typo or something silly, because I’ve just tried again and it’s working fine. Duh!
