When AWB is activated, Anchor links do not work correctly

  • Latest version of everything except core WordPress (which is 6.2.2). I have a couple items in my main nav bar that are anchor links that point to specific places on the home page. When the AWB plugin is activated, it breaks the anchor links. When the AWB plugin is deactivated, the anchor links work correctly. I did a full test by deactivating all plugins, and was able to isolate the issue specifically to the AWB plugin.

    This is something that needs to be looked at pretty quickly.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Can you provide the site URL with this bug? If possible, disable 3rd-party plugins and activate the standard Twenty Twenty-Three theme.

    Nikita, I did that already… this is how I was able to ascertain that it was the AWB plugin causing the issue. Like I said, when AWB isn’t active, the anchor links work correctly. I’d rather not share this URL publicly; is there a way to get you the URL privately?

    Nikita, thank you! ??

    Nikita was able to nudge me in a different direction. Turns out that it’s NOT AWB, as I initially said.

    I do apologize to Nikita and AWB for this mistake.

    I have resolution! Just to confirm that the AWB plugin was not the cause, though it was a symptom.

    Turns out that for the particular theme I use (WP Astra), if you have “Smooth Scrolling” enabled, that breaks anchor links. I will file a bug report with them on this.

    I want to thank (and apologize to) @nko for the guidance and help. It truly is appreciated, Nikita!
