HTML on Wordpress

[Vader]

Anyone know how to make HTML work on Wordpress? I downloaded a couple plug ins but they don't work. Trying to insert some Amazon links.

Do you mean to make it work in a post? All you have to do is switch over to the "text" option instead of "visual" when you're writing/editing the post.

Tried that. It don't work.

Are you sure that you're doing the proper coding? Using the text editor should work unless you have a plugin installed that's causing it not to work properly.

I have heard or read that plugins can cause it. Guess I will have to deactivate them one at the time and see if it works. Could the theme be the cause of it?

The theme could be causing it, yes. You could try using a different theme to see if it works then.

No theme is not causing it I tried a new one. Plugin's are not causing it either. I realize now why I get so ticked off when trying to create a site is because nothing works like it's frigging suppose to! Hoping to have the site up this weekend but that's not going to happen don't look like. Guess the next step is to post on the Wordpress Forums and see if that helps. Appreciate the advice though thanks.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. When you get your answer, let me know what was wrong. I'm curious!

I've never had an issue using HTML with WordPress before.

The theme wouldn't cause that issue it isn't connected to that part of WP, have you tried just using the visual editor? If you can't insert links using the link button then something might be wrong in your WP core and you re install.

If you're talking about Amazon affiliate links, it does work in wordpress. I have tried it and confirm it.

Can you please elaborate what you're trying to do? That way we know what it is not working for you!
