How do I add Italian translations to a page / post ?

Create a new page or post and enter the Italian text in it. on the sidebar, you will see a language box as shown below. Select Italian to tell WordPress that this page / post is in Italian

Now you have to tell WordPress which other page / post contains the English edition. For this, start typing the name of the page / post in the text box beside the ‘+’ symbol. Select the page from the list that appears. If your page doesn’t appear, just delete all characters in that text box, and then all pages / posts in your website will appear

Click Update to save your changes

What if I don’t want to add an Italian translation to a page ?
Always create an italian version of every page, even if you don’t want to translate it. Fill the italian page with English content and cross-link the two articles like explained in a previous question

How do I add or remove a ‘call to action’ on the right sidebar ?
Open the Sale Widget page. Add a row to create a new ‘call to action’. Delete an existing row to remove an item. To create a red box for the action link, just click on B (bold). Note that the text must be both B and a link for it to appear like an action box

How do I add an anchor to a page or post ?
An anchor is a location on a page. You can create a link to that anchor to bring that location to the top of the page. You can create as many links as you want to an anchor.

Lets create an anchor to the Sample lorem ipsum passage. You can use this sample page for experimenting with anchors.

    1. Make sure you are logged in
    2. Open the sample page
    3. Click ‘Edit’ link on the top of that page (how?).
    4. Position the cursor in front of the heading for the sample passage
    5. Click the Anchor icon on the edit controls. It is shown inside a red circle below
    6. Type a name for the anchor. Do NOT use spaces, punctuation or special characters for the name of the anchor. Use ONLY alphabets and numbers. Remember the name you typed (its not easy to find it later)
    7. Now lets add a link to that anchor
      Scroll up to the location where you want to add a link. Highlight the text to link. Then click the insert/edit link button. Type the hash character (#) followed by anchor name and press enter. In our example you would type #samplepassage as shown below

      REMEMBER to add # in front of the anchor name in the link, but NOT when creating the anchor

To test your anchor, click ‘Update’ and then view the page. Clicking on the link should scroll the screen such that the sample passage is on top of the screen
