Using anchors to other posts

    I want to use anchors to cross link between two posts.

    For example, there is a post containing a list of speakers’ bios.
    I want to link each to their specific talk on the post of list of topics.
    However: when I use the regular anchor links so:

    <a href="post#anchor">text</a>

    WP jumps to the right page but changes the URL to this:

    /post/#anchor

    Is there any way to make the post#anchor go to the right page in the linked to page?

    Thanks for the help.

    Have you received a resolve to this quiery?

    I am trying to do the same thing:
    I have many posts which are authored by different writers. I also have created a page listing all of those author’s bios alphabetically. I want to have a link from the author’s name on the post go directly to that authors bio on the author page.

    I saw your original post to a forum asking for help about that:
    in front of the author’s name on the post page closed with . Then on the author page in front of the author’s name (a name=”#X”> closed with

    Is that correct? Does the # sign need to proceed the number I select?

    Thanks so much

    Blessings

    Yea, carebbean,

    I didn’t have any luck making it work directly. The anchors work fine inside the post.. but not from post to post.

    Ultimately, I put a table of contents at the top of the bio page with links to the anchors on that page. It’s not as clean as I would have liked, but it works.
    Here’s a sample.

    Hi,

    I am going to resurrect this thread since I would like to see a resolution. Seems like it would be pretty easy to link to an anchor from another post but I can’t get it to work. Does anyone have any more suggestions? Thanks for your time.
