[Resolved] List View – Naming Container

[Holly]

Simple question here. For the ease of navigating throughout a page while in List View, is there a way to name a Container, or any of the blocks for that matter?
Thanks, Holly

Hi Holly,

Not exactly sure what you are asking here.

Can you explain a bit more or provide an example of what you are trying to achieve?

[Holly]

This is just for “behind the scenes” notation. Not any coding. Just so I can navigate on the page while I work. See attached image. https://prnt.sc/1zpeuqh

That’s not possible unfortunately.

I don’t believe WP allows this functionality within the block editor.

[Holly]

Thanks! Didn’t think so, but was worth asking. Elementor has this feature and it sure makes it easy to work on a page.

[Leo]

No problem 🙂

I *really* wish WordPress provided this functionality. Totally with you on this one Holly, it’d make life a lot easier.

My workaround is to add an ID to the container.
Go to “Advanced > Html Anchor” to name your container.
Have a look at the screenshot below to see what I mean.

I don’t think it was a thing when this topic first came up.
But Thanks for sharing Kelvin – thats the way i do it now 🙂

WOW! Christmas in May. Thank you, Kelvin. My OCD side can now name my containers.

Generatepress should have a monthly newsletter with tips like this in. For the last couple of years I have been thinking that there should be a simple way to label the tree view just to help thick people like me navigate it more easily. None of us want three emails a day but a once a month email with tips like this would be really useful. I would be astonished if such a newsletter did not increase sales / user engagement.

Thanks for your suggestions!

My local golf club Pro sends me about 2 emails a day I never read any of them – Generatepress is really good software, really poorly marketed.

Generatepress is really good software, really poorly marketed.

We spend the majority of our time on development and support over marketing for sure 🙂 Hopefully it can be improved in the future.
