I’ve edited the title of your topic to something useful. Just naming the topic “Posts -” isn’t very effective. ð

Also if you are going use HTML code here then please use the code button.
I have a Post and when I add an <a href> around a few words for example
Which words?
I have some wording that I want to wrap/surround with an a href with but when I add it nothing appears on the web page. The wording is there if I remove the a href. Once I add the a href the wording disappears and there’s no hyperlink there. Can this not be done?

Unless I’m completely misunderstanding you (which is always possible with me) I think you should try this:
When you create a post in WordPress highlight the word in the visual editor and just click the link button (the one that looks like a chain link). That will popup a dialog box where you can paste the link for that word or words.
Yes, I know how to use the Link and I did that but what I’m saying is that when I add the link code to the words it disappears.
Since there’s no way to attach screen shots here let me try it this way.
Without the a href code this is what shows.
IEEE Spectrum â Features 1790âēs unique Patent Scorecard Analysis
Patent Power 2012 Scorecard Article
California Green Innovation Index
1790 provides patent analysis for high profile green innovation index.
When I add the a href code to the second and third lines this is what shows.
IEEE Spectrum â Features 1790âēs unique Patent Scorecard Analysis
1790 provides patent analysis for high profile green innovation index.
The 2nd and 3rd lines just disappear, nothing zero, gone.
Is the preceding </a> there for a reason or did it just slip in while you were posting?
<a href="url">words</a>
</a><a href="url">words</a>
Lee, ignore that. The question is can you have an a href in a Post? Because when I wrap some words with an a href as my prior message says it disappears.
Please go to this page as you’ll see what I mean –

As you see the first 4 lines are plain text. Then just below those first four lines of plain text I put them again but the 2nd and 3rd lines are not there because once I add the a href around the words in the 2nd and 3rd lines they disappear.
once I add the a href around the words in the 2nd and 3rd lines they disappear.
Are you trying to put two lines of text in like this…
<a href="url">Patent Power 2012 Scorecard Article
California Green Innovation Index</a>
??
If so, I will give that a try and see what happens, but I have never had trouble adding a link anywhere.
This works ð
IEEE Spectrum â Features 1790âēs unique Patent Scorecard Analysis
<a href="http://www.wordpress.org" target="_blank">Patent Power 2012 Scorecard Article</a>
<a href="http://wordpress.org/plugins/" target="_blank">California Green Innovation Index</a>
1790 provides patent analysis for high profile green innovation index.
So does this:
IEEE Spectrum â Features 1790âēs unique Patent Scorecard Analysis
<a href="http://www.wordpress.org" target="_blank">Patent Power 2012 Scorecard Article
California Green Innovation Index</a>
1790 provides patent analysis for high profile green innovation index.
No, TWO separate lines (sentences).
Line 1 with a hyperlink.
Line 2 with a hyperlink.
Line 1 – Patent Power 2012 Scorecard Article
Line 2 – California Green Innovation Index
I’ve done this
words
As I’ve said when I add the a href to surround the words I want it all goes away. Please look again at the web page I sent you.

This is a Post, not a Page.
Why isn’t the a href being accepted?
Two separate lines is exactly what my first post was. I don’t know what to tell you as that code works perfectly fine in a POST. ð
This CSS is “hiding” those links:
ul.lcp_catlist a {
display: none;
}
Line 73 of style.css
