I am trying to edit a link...I've done it before and I know I have inserted it correctly, because when I hover it, it's there. When I preview the page the link doesn't open...
Hi Yvonne ,
Simply open the page or post in the Editor, then click the link in question to edit or replace the URL to which the link points.
You might review this video tutorial on How to Create a Link in WordPress.
Hope this helps!
I did that - but it doesn't work :(
Thank you for including a link to the page on which you are attempting to add a link, Yvonne.
I assume we’re talking about the link to the “GUESTS LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT”.
That link points to a file on your own personal computer. Here’s the link code:
<a href="file:///C:/Users/bookk/Dropbox/FILENAME.pdf">
That’s why it’s not working. You can’t link to files on your own personal computer. Rather, you need to first upload that PDF file to your web server using the Media Library, and then edit the link URL to point to the PDF file there.
This video tutorial covers the steps above, and even uses as an example linking to a PDF file:

Hope this helps!
