# Hyperlink in content

 * Today I installed WP 4.2 and noticed that making a hyperlink in the content of
   a page results in a slightly different procedure. With the former version of 
   WP I was able to specify the link-**text** myself (resulting in a ´text pop-up`
   at a mouse-over), while in the WP 2.4 version this seems not possible.
 * Is there a way by which I am still able to specify a link-text myself (an alternate
   text, as used with ´external linking`)?

 * If you’re referring to the `title` attribute within links, that was removed in
   the latest upgrade. You can read about the issue [in this thread](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insertedit-link-missing-title-field?replies=50&message=closed#post-6868636),
