Anchor for sections
5 replies · Started by Dave on March 18, 2017
Hey guys,
On a page where you can create sections, is it possible to set up "anchors" to move to the particular section based on which one you select. Here's an example of what I mean:

There is a secondary menu in the middle of the page that goes to a particular section based on which one you click. I like how it smoothly slides down the page too as opposed to jumping like with most anchors. Is that possible with GP?
- Thanks!
Hi Dave,
You can actually add a custom ID to each section then you can use them for anchors.

As for smooth scrolling, a plugin like this might help:

Let me know.
Hi Leo,
first of all I ´d like to say that I really appreciate GeneratePress and your excellent customer support. Great work!
I built a "one pager" with several sections. For the smooth scrolling effect I installed "Page scroll to ID" and everything is fine - except the color of the links: Every link in the menu which points to an anchor within the one pager seems to be a current item. That´s why nearly all menu items are highlighted with the color for current items.
What should I do?
Thanks for our response and best wishes from Germany!

Hi Mirko,
Glad you are enjoying GP :)
Could you try this solution here to see if it works?

If not are you able to provide a link to your site? Thanks!
I'm a novice here. I have the page adress http://klaresding.de/blog2/?page_id=29. I would like to jump from a button at the head of that page to a section with the Custom ID "Events" lower on that page. What would be the exact URL I need to provide for the button?
Thanks

Hi there,
It should be in the format of: siteURL/#ID
If you need further assistance it's best to open a new topic.
Thanks!
