Title: Cannot add a link Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Cannot add a link * [Euan01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/euan01/) * (@euan01) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-add-a-link/) * my website is [http://www.gibsonglobalsearch.com](http://www.gibsonglobalsearch.com) on the Contact page I have my three office addresses listed on the right hand side of the page. I would like to add a simple ‘view map’ link below each address which will be a link to a google map opening a separate page. This is probably simple to do but I cannot work out how to do it! Any advice greatly appreciated. My WordPress skills are (very) average!!

I think you should be able to add the links below each location from that page. As to the footer, if you would like to add a link there, you would have to edit the footer widget. * Thread Starter [Euan01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/euan01/) * (@euan01) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-add-a-link/#post-4786265) * Hi Saravanan, Thanks for your response. I can get to the page to edit the info no problem. I just cant add a link? It doesn’t seem to let me do it. My info is input as e.g. * [heading]UK South Address[/heading] [contact_address]Gibson Global Search Ltd 1 Book Mews Flitcroft Street London WC2H 8DJ [/contact_address] * I want to add a simple link underneath stating ‘view on map’ and for that to be a hyperlink to a google map page. * I have tried adding the link and inputting the relevant URL link when prompted but it doesn’t seem to be working? * [Saravanan S, a11n](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simplysaru/) * (@simplysaru) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-add-a-link/#post-4786277) * Could you try adding the link in this format? ` view on map ` * Thread Starter [Euan01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/euan01/) * (@euan01) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-add-a-link/#post-4786300) * Not working I am afraid. It just ends up showing the full text as written above on the page. It does however create the clickable link section in the middle of all the coding (if you call that coding? I don’t know!) so that is progress! * Thread Starter [Euan01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/euan01/) * (@euan01) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-add-a-link/#post-4786306) * Saravanan, * I have had a play around and your suggestion has worked – thank you! * I had to use the text [view on map](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-add-a-link/target URL?output_format=md) * Euan * [Saravanan S, a11n](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simplysaru/) * (@simplysaru) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-add-a-link/#post-4786356) * So is it resolved? * Thread Starter [Euan01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/euan01/) * (@euan01) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-add-a-link/#post-4786428) * It is resolved, thank you for your support.
