Editing Links

[priopel]

   In trying to edit a link, I position the cursor to the location of the link but no option for editing appears. What I get is a left arrow at the left, a rectangle with two rows of four dots in the center and an 'x' at the right.

   I am using Edge in Win 10, nothing else works as I don't have Chrome.

Can you be more specific? What kind of link do you mean - image, text, button etc - page link, file, external weblink etc?

Here is a scrren shot of what I am looking at

The arrow, rectangle and x are part of the element that houses your links. The arrow allows you to copy an element (and contents), the rectangle with dots to move an element (and contents) and the X to delete the element (and contents). Yours looks like a text element containing several lines of text, each with links. The links themselves are the word 'detail'.

You haven't said what edits you want to make to the links. If you want to change the link colours throughout the site go to Theme - Change Fonts - Links. If you want to change a specific link destination highlight the word 'detail' and a popup will appear with a horizontal menu. In the middle there's a chain-link icon. If you click on that a list of destination choices appears and you choose one and input the destination URL, email, webpage etc. You can also change an individual link size and colour here.

   Thank you! Highlighting the lable of the link worked. I had forgotten that trick.

   There are two links for each heading. The word "detail" is the label for a link at the bottom of the page. There is also a destination link to the heading to link there from my blog page. I don't see a way to view or edit these. There used to be. I tried adding such a link with "embed code" but couldn't get that to work.  It used to be that when I pointed to the area in which the destination links were that I got an edit button or link.

   I found a way to edit the liinks that don't show. I move the cursor to the area of the embedded code of the link to get the left arrow-hamburger-x to appear then without the cursor on any of those, I press the left mouse button and the edit html button appears. Voila!
