Hey guys,

right now i am working with TheGrid as navigation element and I am adding Custom Links to every image. So a question came up how do I format a link to a page that exists on my own page.

I am used to insert like “portfolio.html” or something like that to refer to my own pages. Is this possible within wordpress as well?

Hi there,

If you want to link it to one of sections inside current page, please target section’s ID. e.g : #x-section-5
If it should link to another page, use absolute URL. e.g : http://example.com/page.

Hope it helps.

Thank you Christopher.
So do I understand this right that it is not possible to relate to a file which is not domain dependend?

Have a great day.

You’re welcome.

You mean some thing like /page instead of http://example.com/page ?
Yes, you can use relative URLs as well.

Hope it helps.

Yes, actually I do! The problem is, that it did not work when I tried. I have a page that is titled “Japan” and when I enter /japan it tells me this page does not exist.

Does this has something to do with domain settings? So as soon as I refer my wordpress page to the first folder level on my FTP server this type of links should work, right?

Thank you!

Hi again,

If you’ve external pages then those must be placed in the root directory of your installation. For example if you’ve japan.html and if you want to use /japan then this page must be uploaded to the root directory (first folder level on your FTP server) of your installation.

Hope this makes sense.

[raphaelzydekParticipant]

Definitely! Thank you very much for your answers! 🙂
