    I set up an “anchor” on a static page on my site. I then tried to get a link in a blog/post to go back to that anchor. It didn’t work and I can’t figure out why not.

    I can’t get this to let me show you exactly what I put on the page–although I got the original idea from this source. One of you was able to tell me what to do to create an anchor, and I could see what to type in for code. Can someone help me know exactly what to add to link back to my anchor?

    Anchor:

    <a name="here"></a><h1>title</h1>

    Link to anchor:

    <a href="http://example.com/sample-post#here">You can read about it here.</a>

    Thanks for the response.

    Looks like I need to find the url for the page. Where do I find that? Remember, it is a page on my own site. Is it the Permalink, or somewhere else? That’s the http://example.com part, correct?

    Then, the sample-post#here part is the “here” part of anchor, or something else?

    sorry I’m such a dummy, but that’s the way it is. =-)

    Looks like I need to find the url for the page. Where do I find that? Remember, it is a page on my own site.

    It is in the title bar of your web browser. For example, the URL for this page is http://wordpress.org/support/topic/link-post-to-anchor-on-another-page-of-website?replies=3

    “here” is the anchor, and you can make it be whatever you want. The only important thing is that it has to be the same in both the post and the link.
