Hi There,

question as this plug in was not uüdate in the last 2 years, is it compatible wit WP 6?

1) Creation of the anchor-targets
I read that the part of the plugin code which creates the links automatically from the H2 and H3 elements in the event of saving a page is not compatible with Gutenberg.
a) @xnau stated no timeline/plans for an update.
b) @telsenome you publicly stated interest to maybe take over. Any plans?
c) Gutenberg has the capability to specify an ID for a headline or basically any block element. That’s good enough for me!

2) Creation of the anchor-links with “The Linker”
As I understood the description text when using the “Insert Link” function of the Editor you get a search dialog which matches both in the page slugs and/or also in anchor names. And when selecting an anchor it creates a jumplink a la /page-slug#anchor-name for you.
a) Is that what it does? That would be hugely convenient for me, as I plan a lot of micro-content to which I would love convenient and quick linking.
b) Is that part working with the Gutenberg “Insert Link” widget? It is a combobox where you have search, auto-completion, and can navigate through results by scrolling or up/down keys.

Considerations
I) I could live with needing to take care of anchor-creation myself when I’d have the hugely convenient “linker” part available.
II) But I could not live with Gutenberg crashing during save or saving corrupt markup. What is the state of this? Info appreciated!

Hi,

Nice plugin! I like the simplicity.

I would like to suggest a new feature: a shortcode. So it’s easier to use it for other elements than headings. In that case add the shortcode where you want, such as: [anchor id="my-ID"].

You only have to create the shortcode with a few lines of code:

function anchor_shortcode($atts) {
	$atts = shortcode_atts(array(
		'id' => ''
	), $atts);} 

	$anchor_id = esc_attr( $atts['id'] );
	$html = '<span id="'.$anchor_id.'"></span>';
	return $html;

}
add_shortcode('anchor', 'anchor_shortcode');

Oh, the intro text says “healings” instead of “headings” and the installation info comes from one of your others plugins ??

The plugin is activated and I don’t get any error messages when saving (visual ones at least).

Expected behaviour: headings get id attributes automatically.
Actual behaviour: nothing happens

Thanks!

The latest version of the plugin (1.6.1) has been added to a development site (non-public) running current version (4.9.6) of WordPress. ID’s are not being added to H2s, H3s in pages, and a fatal error message is generated (see below) when saving page as a draft or publishing.

Any thoughts?

Hi – I activated your plugin on my site and did not see any ids added to my headers. Any clues to why this is not happening? I have looked in the HTML and there are no id assignments either for any headers.

Thanks, Mike
