There could be a couple of references to smart link and inline plugins:

skippy 00:49, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC): Lorelle asked elsewhere for a discussion of absolute versus relative links; I think this page would be a good home for such a discussion. The example sub-directory links in this page will likely break. Consider:

wordpress/index.php?cat=1

If the visitor is currently at http://example.com/wordpress/, the example link will produce

http://example.com/wordpress/wordpress/index.php?cat=1

Absolute links start with a slash, and signify the path to a resource on the current server as accessed from the document root:

/full/path/to/some/where

Relative links lack a slash at the start, and signify the path to a resource on the current server as accessed from the current directory:

sub/directory
Ah, good point. Can you write that up better and we can add it to this article and skip on the other one, having this be a subsection. Excellent! Lorelle 01:57, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, Ringmaster. This is wonderful! Lorelle 21:32, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Internal linking

Very new to Wordpress, and I have a two part question. How do I make a page with content but it can not be viewed on my home page. I made a page and listed it as private but then that page does not show up as an option in the RB Internal Link plug in. In which case how do I link content from one page to another that is not visible in the RB Internal Link plug in?

Thanks in advance.

Forum

You should ask support questions in the forum, the link is in the menu up there ^ The Codex is more of a documentation store.

If you want to link to a private page (which would be slightly odd) you'd probably need to specifically code the link in yourself.
