    I’d like to hide the URL which frequently contains lots of words and looks amateurish. I’ve seen blogs where the link to another post or website is hidden behind a descriptive title. When I use the paste link in Catch Box Pro, the whole url, starting with the http is displayed and makes for an ugly post. Any ideas on how to do this?

    @evergreenw60: You can use the Insert/edit link option in the WordPress text editor to insert links into some texts.

    Let me know if this helps you out.
    Kind Regards,

    Yes, I understand how to insert a link. What I’ve seen on other blogs is that the url is hidden behind a title. I don’t want a long URL clogging the appearance of a post, it looks amateurish and ugly.

    @evergreenw60: I’m afraid I am not able to get you. Could you please post in your site URL and elaborate the issue?

    Kind Regards,

    Our blog is not up yet, we’re building it offline. I can direct you to another website where this occurs: extrapetite.com. Scroll down in the first post “Maternity Shoot…” to the Outfit Details section to the left of the photo, hover over CUSTOMIZABLE DRESS. That’s a link but the URL doesn’t show (no http://www.and so on). If you click on CUSTOMIZABLE DRESS it takes you to another website. All the capitalized words in that section are links with hidden URLs.

    Hello Support, We still don’t have an answer to the question above on how to hide the link under a word. All we seem able to do is show the whole long URL which is ugly and we don’t want that.

    Heres’s another example: http://livelovesara.com/2018/09/what-to-pack-for-germany-packing-light/

    Under the gallery of photos there are words such as Black Camisole. Those words are active links without showing the whole URL. How do we do that?

    Thanks.
