Create a jump link using an element anchor
8 replies · Started by Robert on December 13, 2021
I am trying to create a link on a post to another post that will jump to the heading I want to reference. I see the anchor in generatepress but when I append #anchor to the end of the URL it doesn't work. What am I missing here?
Hi there,
does the Heading have a HTML Anchor attribute ( ID ) attached to it ? As i cannot see that it on the link your provided.
Yes, in the GP advanced menu for the heading block I see the html anchor. Is this all I need or do I also need something else?
Hi Robert,
I don't see the anchor either on the link you provided.
Can you take a screenshot of the GB headline block where we can see the anchor is set?
Let me know.
Sure, here you go.
Just wanted to check in on this one.
I'm sorry for the late reply, the last reply from you has slipped from our system.
So I checked this H2 element, but seems the anchor didn't add to the HTML: https://www.screencast.com/t/7TFWzFuU3
Can you clear cache and disable cache plugin to test?
I saved this page again as-is and it is working now. I wonder if it was because this page was published prior to generatepress being installed?
That should not matter, as the anchor feature is from WP, it should work in all WP themes.
Glad it's working now :)
