Inserting Links Into WordPress Pages and Posts
Links to webpages and files are a basic part of the web. In fact, without them it wouldn’t be much of a ‘web’. The WordPress content editor makes it easy to insert new links and edit existing ones. There are three types of links that will commonly be inserted:
- Internal pages or posts – These are links to pages or posts within your own WordPress site. WordPress makes it really easy to choose which existing page or post to link to.
- External websites or files – Anything that is outside of your WordPress site is an an external link. WordPress allows you to specify a URL for any external content.
- Internal files – The WordPress content editor makes it really easy to upload a file and link to it, all in one simple interface.

How to Disable Comments in WordPress
One of the most frequently asked questions about using WordPress for managing a website is:
How do I disable the comments on a page or post?
While the comment system in WordPress works really well and can be a great way to get feedback, there are many instances when comments from site visitors are not necessary or appropriate. By default, the option for a site visitor to leave a comment is on. It is not obvious how to turn comments off when creating or editing a page because the option is initially hidden.
The following short video shows how to disable comments on a page or post and how to change the default setting so that comments are off when creating new content.
