Creating an internal link within a WordPress page or blog post is a straightforward process that can significantly enhance the navigability and structure of your content. Here’s a simplified step-by-step guide on how to do it, including images for clarity:

Step 1: Log in to Your WordPress Dashboard

• First, log into your WordPress website’s dashboard using your username and password.

Step 2: Navigate to Your Post or Page

• From the dashboard, find the Posts or Pages menu on the left sidebar.
• Click on All Posts if you want to add an internal link to a post, or All Pages if it’s a page you’re editing.
• Hover over the post or page title you wish to edit and click the Edit link that appears.

Step 3: Highlight the Text for the Internal Link

• In the post or page editor, highlight the text you want to turn into a link. This could be a word or a phrase.

Step 4: Insert the Internal Link

• With the text highlighted, click on the link icon in the toolbar (it looks like a chain link).
• A field will appear where you can paste or type the URL you want to link to. If you’re linking to an internal page, start typing the name of the page, and WordPress will automatically suggest pages from your site.
• Click on the suggestion that matches the page you want to link to, or paste the URL if you already have it.

Step 5: Apply the Link

• After selecting the page, click the Enter button on your keyboard or the Apply button (it looks like a return arrow) in the link options. This action turns your selected text into a hyperlink.

Step 6: Update or Publish Your Content

• Once your internal link is added, make sure to either publish your post/page or update it if it’s already published.
