You should use the “double quotation mark” or simply “double quote”(`"`). I hope it helps.

Now I’ve just released the v.2.9.7 that should fix it. Please let us know if now it works. * [modychorst](https://wordpress.org/support/users/modychorst/) * (@modychorst) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-link-doesnt-work/#post-9627395) * Hello, I have a question Can you insert CUTOM-LINK into Alo Easy-Mail plugin with graphics reference? If so can I ask for an example? Combines from 2 days and already lose patience. Thanks in advance for any responses * Plugin Author [eventualo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eventualo/) * (@eventualo) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-link-doesnt-work/#post-9633181) * Hi modychorst, which kind of “graphics reference” do you mean? Please write here an example of the shortcode with wanted attributes and the html output you like: e.g. the shortcode should have the format `[CUSTOM-LINK attr=value.... ]` and the output html should be `...`. Just to understand if it’s possibile do edit CUSTOM-LINK, or if you need to write a new placeholder at all. * [modychorst](https://wordpress.org/support/users/modychorst/) * (@modychorst) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-link-doesnt-work/#post-9635211) * I would like to get an effect like ` `, but using a custom link, is this possible at all? The problem lies in counting clicks. If I use a normal Custom-Link with title everything works, but if I try to use graphics there are various problems in this including not working link. I hope my question is not too annoying. I’m just started my“ adventure” with WordPress. - This reply was modified 8 years, 7 months ago by [modychorst](https://wordpress.org/support/users/modychorst/). - This reply was modified 8 years, 7 months ago by [modychorst](https://wordpress.org/support/users/modychorst/). - This reply was modified 8 years, 7 months ago by [modychorst](https://wordpress.org/support/users/modychorst/). - This reply was modified 8 years, 7 months ago by [modychorst](https://wordpress.org/support/users/modychorst/). - This reply was modified 8 years, 7 months ago by [modychorst](https://wordpress.org/support/users/modychorst/). * Plugin Author [eventualo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eventualo/) * (@eventualo) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-link-doesnt-work/#post-9637150) * Hi, I think you cannot use CUSTOM-LINK because it works only with text inside link tag. If you know a bit of php you can write your own placeholder: [https://www.eventualo.net/blog/easymail-newsletter-for-developers/#tutorial-customplaceholder](https://www.eventualo.net/blog/easymail-newsletter-for-developers/#tutorial-customplaceholder) * [modychorst](https://wordpress.org/support/users/modychorst/) * (@modychorst) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-link-doesnt-work/#post-9638217) * Thank you very much for your response and time. - This reply was modified 8 years, 7 months ago by [modychorst](https://wordpress.org/support/users/modychorst/). * [hefciol](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hefciol/) * (@hefciol) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-link-doesnt-work/#post-9662602) * Hello! * I have a similar problem with which I do not advise. * Kindly requesting a solution: * (1) Graphic newsletters do not report the results of clicks on the report, how can I do? (2) The setting is to use Google Analytics statistics, but once turned on, I do not see the system reacting to change.

You can put it in `` tag with a link to read-newsletter-on-line url that is tracked. So something like: * `` * 2) You must have setup your domain site on a Google Analytics account. Then, you have to in _Newsletters > Settings > Newsletter_ ans enable Google Analytics variables in links. Now those variables should be appended to newsletter links. - This reply was modified 8 years, 7 months ago by [eventualo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eventualo/).
