[Resolved] Help! Brain freeze

[Lisa Blaushild]

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.

[Lisa Blaushild]

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.

[Lisa Blaushild]

I tried it, but it didn’t work. Where exactly does this code go? Thanks.

[Leo]

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?

[Lisa Blaushild]

I put the code directly into the “Contact” page and added my email, but it didn’t work. Is that what you meant?

[Leo]

The content of your Contact page? That should work.

Can you provide the link to your contact page?

[Lisa Blaushild]

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:

[Leo]

Can you try inserting it in Text editor instead of Visual?

[Lisa Blaushild]

That worked! Many thanks for your help!

[Leo]

You’re welcome!
