How to find out the Link to a VKontakte Post

It’s no longer a secret that the main “engine” of modern business is social networks. Absolutely every campaign has its own page or public page on major social networks, and VKontakte is no exception. Since VK is the largest and most popular today, the largest number of sellers and consumers gather here. Often you have to copy the link to a VK post.

High-quality selling content is nothing more than advertising material, which can be expressed in the form of videos, photos and posts. What if someone likes a product review, or a simple informational text that will touch the soul, because they will certainly want to show it to their loved ones and acquaintances. How to do this? It's simple, you just need to copy the link and send it to everyone you want! In this article we will learn what a post is, where to get a link to it and how you can use it.

Why do you need a link to the post?

Sometimes a situation occurs that a link to a VKontakte post is needed. Such cases may be when you need to send a post as a personal message to friends, insert a link to a post in another post or leave it on the wall, hold a competition, etc. But how can you find out the link to a post in a group and from the wall of a VKontakte page?

In addition to the above points, a link to a post may be needed on social exchanges when you decide to get likes, reposts or comments. A link is also required when creating tasks on email services.

How to make a link with a word to a VK album

In general, the principle of operation is absolutely the same. But let's refer to your album with photographs in the text.

So, we find the album we need and copy ONLY ALL NUMBERS in the browser.

REMEMBER THIS: no matter what you link to: an album, a document, your or a user’s page, a group, and so on - YOU NEED TO COPY ONLY NUMBERS, and then you MUST put “id” in front of them, otherwise the link simply won’t work !

Let's now place a link to the album with photos on our page. And of course we will apply our formula.

Here it will look like this: [id++++++++|Text].

Click “Send”.

And this is what we got:

As you can see, first we have the text, and then the link to the album; it can also be inserted in the middle of the text.

How to copy a link to a post on VKontakte

How to make a hyperlink to a group on VK?

You can make a hyperlink to a group in VK using the methods described in the first section, using an asterisk (*), a dog (@) or square brackets.

Next, enter the name or numeric code of the community (you can copy it from the address bar of your browser) and confirm the action with the “Enter” button.

We hope you understand that creating a hyperlink in VK is not at all difficult - you just need to perform the manipulations according to the instructions once in order to remember them better, and the cheat sheet will not be useful again. By the way, you can redirect to a post (click on the entry, copy its address), as well as to a discussion, application, video or picture. To do this, remember the following diagrams:

[topic|title], [app*******|name], [video-*******|title], [photo-*******|title].

Link to repost on VKontakte

Now we will look at the topic of repost links. This link is most often needed for holding competitions, and for this you may need a link from a VKontakte wall or from a group. So, how to make a link to a repost? In principle, the mechanism for its reproduction is practically no different from the principle of copying posts.

1. You need to select an entry;

2. Point the mouse cursor at it (preferably at the time of its publication);

3. Right-click;

4. Click “Copy URL links”;

5. Insert this link to the entry where necessary.

How to create a hyperlink to a user?

Let's look at how to make a hyperlink to a person in VK - this can be your own page, or the profile of another user.

Start writing the text of your post or personal message. In the place where the link is planned, type one of the combinations presented below.
Instead of ID, start typing the username, a window will open below where all your friends with matches will appear. Click on the person you need.

*ID********;
@ID*********;
[ID******|text].

When using the third option, write any phrase in brackets - this is what your link will look like after completing the action. By the way, it is correct to call this text an anchor.

Complete your post, press "Enter".

Before making a hyperlink, find out the ID of the desired account and copy it if you want to indicate it exactly, rather than typing your first and last name. It looks like ID********* and is displayed in the browser's address bar when you are inside your profile.

How to make links on a VKontakte wall

Quite a lot of people are interested in what a link to a post is and how they can make links on the wall or in private messages clickable. It is possible to make such a link to a user account, group, meeting and public page. Example: Mikhail Grishin Z My group To do this, you need to insert the following code: - For pages - [idХХХ| text] or @idXXX (text) or @ domain name (text) - For publics and groups - [clubХХХ| text] or @clubXXX (text) or @domain name (text) - For meetings and public pages - [publicХХХ| text] @publicXXX (text) or @domain name (text) [eventXXX| text] @eventXXX (text) Of course, instead of the XXX characters, you need to insert the numeric id of your page. The same code will work in discussions and comments, personal

messages. On internal group pages, the same code is needed, but it must be enclosed in square brackets on both sides. Example: [[clubХХХ|text]]. Now you know what a wall post link is and what it should look like.

Making a link with a word

To convert any type of link into a word, you need to follow the same template. You can link to the community, your page, and even certain photos or albums. Well, you can also insert the code wherever there is an opportunity to write something, for example, a discussion, posts on a wall or in a message.

To user page

Let's try to make sure that the first and last names lead to the site. First, we need to go to the page of the person we are interested in and copy his identification code (id).

Now remember the simplest formula: [id numbers|User name]

This is what will allow you to encrypt the link under any word in the future. For example, you want to write on the wall.

We paste the ID that we copied into the line to send the message.
We put one square bracket on the left, and after the numbers a separating line “|”.
Now you can insert a word that will eventually be visible to everyone and lead to the desired page. For example, the first and last name of the person to whose site the link redirects. At the end we close it with a square bracket.

After you send what you wrote to the wall, instead of this formula there will be a hyperlink in the form of the person's name.

It is important to note that when creating a link, you cannot put spaces next to parentheses or separators. They are allowed only in the phrase that will serve as a hyperlink.

Per group

In fact, for a community or group, everything is created according to the same scheme. However, many are faced with the fact that in a group, instead of an identification code, there is a word or phrase in the browser line.

Then, instead of a digital value, insert this particular word or phrase into the formula after the opening square bracket.
Copy it without http or www.
Only in the case of a word you don’t need to write “id”.

Now we put a separating sign and a word that, when clicked on, will lead to the group.

For an album or post

When you create a hyperlink to a photo album or post, the principle remains the same.

Open the desired album or post and copy the numbers from the browser.

Next, we insert the last numbers into our formula and place them where necessary.
Then be sure to put the id directly in the formula.

It is important to remember that wherever you send the diagram, always copy only the numbers in the address bar.

This is what happens in the end.

It is not possible to create a hyperlink in the form of a word to an external site. Unfortunately, Contact does not yet provide such an opportunity.

How to insert a link into a post correctly

At the end of today’s article, I would like to draw attention to how to correctly insert links into a post.

It’s quite easy to leave links on websites. And we all understand perfectly well that if a sentence or word is highlighted in blue, then a link is located under the text. How to make VKontakte links correctly? Many admins simply place them in brackets or with a dash next to the required word. But when there are several links in one post, they interfere with the adequate perception of the text and make the content too long.

Let's look at how to make links correctly in this section.

So, VK can place links under, groups, user names, events. Links to any external sites, as before, will have to be placed in brackets or separated by a dash. There are two ways to post a link.

The first option is to use an asterisk (*).

It is possible to create a link in this way if the user is your friend, you have become a member of a group, or you have clicked “I’ll definitely go” in the event.

In these cases, you should type * and then start typing the friend’s name, the name of the public or event. A list will open under the post from which you can select what you need by clicking on the title or name.

An important point is that there should be no signs after the asterisk. Even a period or comma will interfere with the correct search.

The next option is using wiki markup.

Wiki markup is used by VKontakte for various purposes, for example, designing the VK group menu.

[id5417557|Marina Konovalova] – to create a link to a user who is not among your friends, you need to copy and paste his id (you can copy it from the user’s profile) and place it in square brackets. Using a direct flush, you need to type his first and last name (or just his first name) in the required case.

[club1234567|“Work in Moscow”] – to put a link to the group, you need to copy the club and the group’s numeric identifier. To do this, you need to type the name of the group through direct flash.

[event1234567|Competition “Repair Time”] – to make a link to the event, you need to copy the event and the numeric identifier from the event page, and type the name of the event through direct flash.

It happens that users and group administrators change the original numeric identifiers to other euphonious names. Then you should copy the part of the text that follows vk.com/

How to add a link to a story?

Well, above we told you how to insert a swipe into the history of a VK business profile. Now we will explain how to make and publish a simple link in stories on a regular page. In this case, the swipe function, as we wrote above, will not work.

The algorithm of actions from a computer and a phone is the same. Previously, stories could not be loaded from a computer, but today this problem no longer exists. So here's what you need to do:

To insert an external link into a story, you first need to publish it in a feed on your wall;

Next, click on the “Share” icon, it is located under the post, in the form of a rounded arrow;

Select “Add to history”;

Design your story - select a background, insert a signature, and be sure to add a call to go to the attached post. Here you don’t have to be shy, directly write something like: “Click “Open record!!!” This way there is a greater chance that the footnote will be responded to;

Done – then just click on the “Publish” button.

A person will look through your stories, see a screen asking you to open the attached post, tap it, go to the post, and then, if he deems it necessary, follow the link. This is roughly how it works now.

Let us remind you that swiping in VK in this case does not work on iPhone, Android, or the desktop version of the site.

We told you everything we know about links and swipes in VK. We hope that now you will not look for the answer to why swiping to the right or down stopped working in VK. The decision to introduce or discontinue certain options is made by the developers. At the same time, they are based on the conclusions of their analysts and statistics. Perhaps in the future, swipes will again be available to mere mortals, but for now, insert simple links! Information is current as of spring 2020.

For example:

[astanna|Elena] – this is what the link looks like leading to a user whose profile is located at https://vk.com/astanna.

[mamarabotaet|For every mother: how to work while on maternity leave] - this is what the link looks like, leading to the group, which is located at https://vk.com/mamarabotaet.

[anywhereintheworld|Competition “116.ru anywhere in the world”] – this is what the link to the event looks like, which is located at https://vk.com/anywhereintheworld.

After the post is published, all unnecessary things will disappear, only the text you wrote and placed in square brackets after the direct flash will be visible. It will be marked in blue font, and when you hover over it, a window will be formed with the name of the group or user name and their avatar.

Now you know how to insert links into a post, how to copy them, and what a link to a post is.
