Link images to internal pages, external pages, documents, and even other images.

Link to a "Heading" on any page

You can link to any "Heading" on either the same page or another page of your website. This allows you to link to specific parts of a page. We have broken the steps into three sections to make it easier to follow.

A. Create a "Heading"

Linking to a heading requires that the section of the page you want to link to have a style of "Heading" added to some text, like the title of a part of the page. Here's how to do that:

Start by identifying and adding a title to a section of the web page.
Select the title (click and drag the mouse across the text to select it).
A black toolbar will appear above the selected text. Click the first drop-down option (probably "Normal") and select your desired heading size.
Then, publish the page.

B. Copy Your Heading Link

To link to a heading, we need to capture its unique address. You will want to be sure of the following three things:
1. Be sure you are logged in as a Contributor or Administrator on your website.
2. Be on the page with the heading you wish to link to.
3. You should NOT be editing the page.

Hold your mouse (hover) over the Heading, and the pound symbol (#) will show at the end of the Heading. Click directly on the displayed pound symbol (#). Then, copy the website address.

C. Link to the Heading

Now that we have the heading's address, we can link to it. Here's how.

Go to and edit the page where you want to add a link to the Heading.
Type in some descriptive text like "click here" and then select it (click and drag the mouse across the text to select it).
A black bar will be displayed above the selection. Click the chain-link "Link" icon.
The black bar will adapt with options for linking.
Paste in the previously copied Header link.
On the black bar, click the white Confirm checkmark icon.
Finally, Publish the page.

Adding a Link to Your Website Navigation

Another great location to which you can add files is a forwarder page that people can navigate and be sent to a destination you predetermined. An example of this is your Online Giving on your website navigation.

Go to Pages on the black bar on the left-hand side of your website when you are logged in.
Add a new page by clicking the blue "Add Page" button in the top right corner.
You will then be prompted to choose a "Page Type." Select the Forwarder page type.
Give the page a title.
In the bar that says URL, you can either paste in a destination URL or click on the blue cloud next to the URL field to upload a file to be linked to.
Choose your Parent Page from the drop-down list. To show on the navigation as a main navigation item, you will want to choose "Home." Alternatively, to show as a drop-down to one of the main navigation pages, you can select one of the other main navigation pages.
Save and go to your home page to see the results.

To edit this and replace that file

Go to pages.
Find that page and hit edit.
In the bar that says URL, you can paste a new destination URL or click on the blue cloud next to the URL field to upload a new file.
Finally, click the blue "Save" button and go to your home page to see the results.
