I know this is an idiotic questions, but how do I make the link live to my email address on a Contact page? So people can click on it and it creates an email? Thanks. I knew this, and can't remember. I'm unable to make the link to my email address work.
Hi Lisa,
You can do it like this:
<a href="mailto:me@example.com">E-mail Me</a>
Hope this helps.
Thanks, so do I just post this entire code directly onto my Contact page: E-mail Me
Otherwise, I'm not sure where it goes.
Thanks again.
I tried it, but it didn't work. Where exactly does this code go? Thanks.
It can go anywhere that accepts HTML so you can add it in your page content.
Remember to change the actual e-mail address.
Let me know if this answers your question.
If not can you show the page where you are trying to insert it?
I put the code directly into the "Contact" page and added my email, but it didn't work. Is that what you meant?
The content of your Contact page? That should work.
Can you provide the link to your contact page?
Thanks, Leo. I'm just putting this up now, so it's a work-in-progress and the content isn't finished. But I must be doing something wrong as the code isn't working - see the bottom of the page where I tried to add my email:
Can you try inserting it in Text editor instead of Visual?
That worked! Many thanks for your help!
You're welcome!
