itch.io does not work like platforms with site-wide footer injection. The most reliable setup is to use a stable public page for your webring links and keep that location easy to find.

Option A: Dedicated public ring page (recommended)

1. Choose a stable public page you will use for the ring, such as a project page or a dedicated page linked from it.
2. Add plain links for Prev, Random, Next, and Directory.
3. Replace YOUR-SITE with that page URL if that is the page rootring should use.
4. Make sure the page is visible without logging in.
5. If verification should use that page, set your Ring page URL to it in rootring.

Option B: Devlog page

1. Open the project that has your devlog.
2. Create or edit a public devlog entry.
3. Add the four webring links as normal links in the post body.
4. Link to that devlog from the main project page if it is not already easy to find.
5. Replace YOUR-SITE with the devlog URL if that is the page rootring should use.
6. If verification should use that page, set your Ring page URL to the devlog URL in rootring.

itch.io often works best with plain visible links, but you can still browse the snippet gallery for ideas and simpler variants.

Notes

Keep the page public and stable. If you use a devlog page, it is best to link it from the main project page and use that URL for verification when needed.
