Anchor Links | Anchor Text in WordPress
Written by: Eileen Lonergan
There are times when you may want a FAQ page with all of the questions at the top of the page and the answers down below. Or you may have pages with a lot of text and you want to link from one page directly to the spot on another page where you have this text. You can do this with WordPress, using some code and setting up your Anchor Text.
Toggle to your WordPress Page editor and create your links:
- <a href =”#NAME1″>See item number 1 below</a>
- <a href =”#NAME1″>See item number 1 below</a>
Then set up the anchor text:
- <a name =”NAME1″>put text here</a>
- <a name =”NAME2″>put text here</a>
If you are linking to another page your code would look like this:
- <a href=”http://YourSiteHere.com/Page-Name#NAME1″>Name1</a>
Then the anchor text:
- <a name=”Name1″>Name1</a>
It is a bit time consuming, but super helpful to your visitors. Let me know if you have any questions.
