# How to create an external link in PHP-Nuke

You can create links to external sites through the PHP-Nuke WYSIWYG editor in the admin dashboard. In the tutorials below, we are going to make a link that takes you to *https://google.com* when clicked.

## Creating an external link

1. [Log into your PHP-Nuke Dashboard](/support/edu/php-nuke/login-administrator-system/).
2. [![Edit the page PHP-Nuke](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/edu_phpnuke_102_create-link_create-links-1-edit-page.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/edu_phpnuke_102_create-link_create-links-1-edit-page.png) Edit the page you want to insert a link into.
3. [![Insert/edit link PHP-Nuke](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/edu_phpnuke_102_create-link_create-links-2-insert-edit-link.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/edu_phpnuke_102_create-link_create-links-2-insert-edit-link.png) Highlight the text you want to make into a link and click the Insert/edit link button in the WYSIWYG editor.
