Method 1: To Create a New Pretty Link:

1. Before you can make pretty links, you must have first created the raw link in your article with anchor text.

2. Highlight the anchor text and the target URL will appear.

3. Hover over the target URL and right click the URL to copy the link address.

4. Click on the pretty link star icon to open the popup screen to create a new pretty link.

• Notice that the anchor text you previously highlighted has propagated into the “Link Text” box.
  

5. Target URL: Paste the target URL you copied from the page/post.

6. Click on the “Create New Pretty Link” box at the top, so it outlines in blue.6

7. Slug: Type in the shorten name of your new pretty link.

8. Redirect Type: Select “307 Temporary” from the drop-down.
9. Nofollow: Select “Enabled” from the drop-down.
10. Tracking: Select “Enabled” from the drop-down.
11. Check: Open this Pretty Link in a new window/tab.

12. After you have entered all the information in the popup window, click on the blue button “Insert New Pretty Link.” You will see a little bar working to insert the new pretty link!

13. Check your article to see that the new pretty link inserted correctly. Use the same method as you did in #2 to see the new pretty link URL.

You've just created your first pretty link using the visual editor. Congrats!

Moving on...
