Hi, Andre. Thanks for responding to my query. I solved the problem just a few minutes ago, but in a way I thought shouldn't work. All the recommended WordPress methods for embedding a link in text failed, including the couple that you suggest. I have no idea why, and I hope one day to find out. Meanwhile, on a whim, I wrote the text in an MS Word file and embedded the link there, then copied the result into my WordPress text. To my surprise, the link was recognized, stayed embedded, and (as I've since confirmed) works.
It seems WordPress just got a little easier. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andre Sent: Friday, August 18, 2017 3:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] WordPress and JAWS query Have you tried highlighting the text you want to appear as a link? Then shift tabbing back to the area with the link button? Hit enter or on that link button. Or maybe once you've highlighted the text (maybe with the shift plus arrow keys), then hit control plus K. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Friday, August 18, 2017 8:13 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] WordPress and JAWS query I wonder if anyone currently on the list works with WordPress. I'm trying to insert a link into existing text on one of my WordPress pages. I can add the link in http form, but I can't embed it in the text. I used to be able to do it, but either I've forgotten the method or it's changed. Earlier this year, a lister who no longer seems active, suggested using control-k, as I would in MS Word, but it isn't working. Any ideas?
