Hi Faith,
thanks for your post.
Well, from what I can see, you didn’t enter a link text when creating the link. Did you use the “Insert Link” button on the table’s “Edit” screen? Then you’ll have to enter the Link text there in the dialog. That’s the text that will be used for the actual link.
It seems that you instead entered that text before the link HTML code. For the links that you have created already, you can fix that, by simply moving the text from before the <a href...> part to right before the </a> part of the link HTML code in the cell.

Thank you so much. That worked. I am totally new to your plugin and tables on WordPress. Tried some imports and didn’t have luck with the hyperlink coming through the import. What is your best suggestion on what program to create a table and imports as is easily with your plugin. I think just creating somewhere that works well with your plugin would be easiest for me and less work than enter it through wordpress.
Thanks so much for your help again!
Hi,
good to hear that this fixed it!
The problem with hyperlinks and importing them is that they need to be part of the file that TablePress imports. Unfortunately, this is not something the plugin can influence, obviously.
So, if your data is mainly numbers, a spreadsheet application like Excel is probably the best. You can export to CSV from there and import that into TablePress. Now, unfortunately, once you add links (in Excel), those will not be exported by Excel in HTML format, so that there’s no change for TablePress to import them.
Other such applications behave the same way, so that your best choice is the TablePress interface here, from my experience.

Tobias
