  • How exactly do you put the link in the header tag? Which one? If you mean for post titles, the links/permalinks are automatically added by WordPress.

    I’m referring specifically to this being in the post body area. As in, right in an article I’m writing. So, not the article title, but rather within the content of the article itself.

    Do the &nbsp; show up with typed in h3 content (not copy-pasted)?

    It shows up no matter what I do (type it manually, paste, use the javascript buttons to insert it.

    And note, I am in HTML mode when I’m inputting this stuff…so I doubt it’s some weird tinymce issue.
