How to link to a specific site on the page in WP

    Hello.
    I am unsure whether it is possible at all, but I am hoping for a solution. I know how to add a link to link to a specific site in an article, for example, clicking on a product mentioned early on in an article, and then automatically bouncing to where the product is mentioned further down the page. But, the challenge I have encountered is when I use a template in WP to set up reviews, or several products in” ready-made boxes” or what to cal them. In the article I link to (further down), you clearly see what I mean. Early in the article, the name is listed for all the products, while the actual review of each product shows further down the page. The ideal would be to be able to show the name of the product in the first list, click it, and then bounce to the specific product. Is this possible?

    The link to the page is:
    [ redundant link removed ]

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    does it let you use anchor links in the list to the product lower down?

    Hi.
    Thanks for your reply. I guess it should, but I don’t know how to use it with this kind of setup.

    Did you see the article I was linking to? Each product is filed into a specific box, or table of content. So, I guess I need to different links to use anchor links. One where you should click, and another where the page should bounce down to. The second link should be in the header of each product.

    But which links (codes) should I use?

    Your products currently do not have unique identifiers, so your links would have nowhere to jump to.

    Normally WordPress adds such an identifier (‘id=”ID”‘) to posts, for example:

    <article id="post-100" class="post-100 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized">

    You can then use an anchor to link to that article:

    <a href="#post-100">link</a>

    Do you have access to the template that generates the list of products?
