I am wanting to add a link to WikiTree on my FindAGrave profiles. I know it’s  possibly as I have seen it on other’s profiles. I can link between profiles but not links outside of FindAGrave.

Thanks in Advance,

Pam

Here's another work around, if you don't manage the memorial:

So Cool, how do I get this template please?

Neat idea, Azure.  yes

Thanks Pam and Melanie!

Go to Add Flower, then you can upload an image to your personal scrapbook, and add the flower with the text.

FindAGrave does not allow external links on Memorials. This was not seriously enforced for a ling time, but they have now started cracking down and removing these links. You may still see some from time to time, but if you try adding a link now, they will just be stripped from the page.

One of the methods I have seen now is adding a short descriptor with an ID:

What I have been doing is:

I do this with all memorials that I manage or create. 

See https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/140052781/george-christopher-addison for example.
