How to use anchor links
in WordPress
http://fairyblogmother.co.uk
This requires a plugin called
‘Easy Smooth Scroll Links’.
Anchor links allow the reader to
jump to another part of the page
that is “below the fold”.
Go to the Plugins tab in the
left hand sidebar in the
Dashboard, and click on
‘Add New’.
In the search field type in: ‘easy
smooth scroll links’ and click on the
‘Search Plugins’ button.
Find the correct
plugin and install
into your blog.
Find your plugin in
the listings and make
sure it is activated.
Go to a new post editing page
and look on the visual editor
to see the anchor icon.
Write some content that
contains a section that needs
to be ‘jumped to’ further
down the page.
Place the instructions that will
become the link at the top of
the page.
Place your cursor at the
end of the paragraph
before the area or
headline you wish to
‘jump to’.
Click on the
anchor icon.
Type in a single
word name for
your anchor icon.
Now click on the
‘Insert’ button.
And now you
can see the
anchor icon
in position.
Highlight the text
that will link to the
anchor icon.
In the URL field type
in the name of the
anchor icon preceded
by a hash tag, in this
case: #test
Then click on the
‘Add Link’ button.
Now your text is linked to
the anchor icon and once
published will guide the
visitor to the selected area.
