Anchor Link To An Anchor Tag On Another Page Does Not Work

If you want a link to jump a specific location on a different page, you’ll need to replace #anchor with the full URL for the page, similar to:

Hi kmessinger, thank you for responding. I may have misunderstood however. When I link from a different page I do use the full URL: https://fullurlhere/nbs-test-panel-of-diseases-2#anchorlink1

I googled it (as you did) – saw your entry. I don’t know but I am still on my first cup of coffee. I found one that said use <a name="anchor" id="anchor"></a> instead on <a id="anchorlink1"></a> but I don’t know if it works.

Unfortunately that does not work either. The same thing happens where the full url will display for a second and it will jump to the anchored text, but then the #and everything after is removed from the url and it jumps back to the top.

https://www.site.com/go-anchor-page/ and hit test will take you to https://www.site.com/test-anchor/

First page <a href="https://www.site.com/test-anchor/">?test</a>

Second page <a name="anchor" id="anchor">

I will remove these links after a while. Must be the #

Thanks for this, however, this appears to be linking to another page:

<a href="https://www.ourexcellentadventures.com/test-anchor/"> test</a>

Rather than linking to an anchor tag with in the page.

I am so stumped. It was suggested that it might be a server setting issue. It is simply the strangest thing and I really wish i could find a solution.

It is only when linking from another page.

This seems to work for me.

I think you are missing a /

I have tried it with that as well and it still does the same thing.

Have you tried with the default theme and no plugins?

That was a great suggestion and I am kicking myself for not thinking of it. I had previously deactivated all of the plugins but had not tried a default theme.

I just did and the issue was not there so there must be something going on with the code that is causing this and I am thinking it may be javascript or jquery.

Just need to narrow down the cause.

Ok so I narrowed it down to the jquery.jstree.js file. I of course have no idea how to fix it.

So, We discovered that the issue was a specific code in the js file. There were six instances in it and once we removed them everything worked fine.

.replace(/^#/,””)

I have the same problem in https://www.ismaelserrano.es/prueba-letra/ can you explain me the solution ? Thanks

Hi jokint, I talked about what we tried above, however, what we ended up doing is using a different menu.
