Hi there, apologies if this issue has been discussed previously, I couldn’t find a thread that deals with my specific issue. On my first Wix site www.blueskinbayonline.co.nz I have used repeaters to display information via datasets, everything works well except the mailto: and http: // references are visible per image. Both fields within the dataset are set to URL, I have changed to text but the links then open back into themselves repeating the whole page. Advice appreciated. Wix is awesome, a way improved experience from using Adobe Muse. Thanks ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wix/original/3X/3/4/3440359f36f905858a085588e3e778dca94a07f6.png) ---

@brojoro I would have thought that the last link would have been ideal for you as it basically shows you how to do it with buttons. [https://www.wix.com/corvid/forum/community-discussion/making-a-button-or-a-link-go-to-a-dynamic-content-email-address](https://www.wix.com/corvid/forum/community-discussion/making-a-button-or-a-link-go-to-a-dynamic-content-email-address) If you need help then please paste what code you have used on the page already along with any screenshots that can help etc and somebody here can take a look and help you. If you are looking for somebody to do it all for you then have a look in Wix MarketPlace to find somebody suitable. [https://www.wix.com/marketplace](https://www.wix.com/marketplace) ---
