Anchor Points in URLs

Support
#1

I have a page with several sections, and have successfully assigned section anchor points by specifying the ID, and I have successfully created an on-page nav menu. However, I cannot seem to be able to create an external URL that scrolls to the anchor point. in the past, I have specified URLs with anchor points as sitename.com/page#anchor. When I do this for a Pro page, the link does display the page, but does not scroll to the anchor point. Am I using the wrong value (ID) for the anchor point in the URL?

Hi @Pritchard,

Thanks for reaching out.

One page navigation is only applicable for one page (itself). It’s not meant for inter-page linking and it will only scroll on the same page. If you click a URL with hash ID, it will link but will not scroll as browser’s default behavior.

Thanks!

So there is no way for me to get into the HTML to define an href anchor on the page that will work for external URLs?

Hi,

It could be possible with custom js script, but this would be outside the scope of support we can offer. You may wish to consult a developer to assist you with this. X is quite extensible with child themes, so there are plenty of possibilities.
