Im trying to link to my post archive url but It’s adding the ” ” weird and I cant actually create a link.

I can loop through and show the titles and the urls with:
```
<ul>
[for type=all]
  <li><a href="[each url]">[each name]</a></li>
[/for]
</ul>
```
But this isn’t working

Try:
```
[for type=all]
[pass field=url]
  <li><a href="{FIELD}">[each name]</a></li>
[/pass]
[/for]
```

That didn’t work. It’s listing all of the post types with a link, but ALL of the URL’s are to the home page and not the archive page.

```
<ul>
[for type=all]
  <li><a href="[each url]">[each name]</a></li>
[/for]
</ul>
```
This is the result I get
https://www.evernote.com/l/ALGwTuizR6lEs7U6dgJ4AOFfGO8S00IqeRM

The following prints the URL inside of quotes.
```
<ul>
[for type=all]
  <li>[each url]</li>
[/for]
</ul>
```
See here:

If I try the code like this without the quotes on the href like this:
```
<ul>
[for type=all]
  <li><a href=[each url]>[each name]</a></li>
[/for]
</ul>
```
I get this:

Any ideas why this happens?

Would you try it with single quotes?

I’ve tried that too. Still not working. Is anyone else getting the same results?

*I hope this would help others as references:
```
<ul>
[for type=all]
  <li><a href=[each url]>[each name]</a></li>
[/for]
</ul>
```
is wrong if you are posting them through WordPress text editor.

Always pass vars into a functioning attributes of any HTML element.

Correct example that works for me:
```
<ul>
[for type=all]
  [set varurl][each url][/set]
  [pass vars]
  <li><a href="{VARURL}">[each name]</a></li>
  [/pass]
[/for]
</ul>
```
note: unless you set the ” in the var, otherwise url attribute needs to open&close with ” as it is.

I also avoid using -/_ when naming set vars eventhough it may not be relevant to the errors I got but not using them fixed my problems so I just consider this as a good practise to go.
