This plugin is for WordPress site owners who want readers to jump directly to specific headings within a page or post. It automatically assigns unique IDs to h2 and h3 headings and exposes them as selectable anchors in the link pop-up, making it easy to create jump links without editing HTML manually.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Content Anchor Links

The "linker" is the pop-up that appears when you select some text and click on the "add link" icon in the WordPress visual editor (or the "link" button in the text editor). When you begin typing in the linker, it tries to find content that matches the letters you typed. The Content Anchor Links plugin adds anchors from the current page or post to the list of suggestions that appears when the search happens. I don't see the anchor links in the linker. First, be sure there are headings in your content. The plugin adds an ID attribute to all Heading 2 and Heading 3 elements in the content. Once you have the headings in place, save the page or post (either as a draft or as published content) which saves the ID attributes where the linker can find them. Now, select the text you want to add an anchor link to, then type in the first couple of letters of the heading you want the link to jump to. When the results come in, you'll see the anchor links at the bottom of the list. Select your anchor, and commit the link.

Yes, as long as the ID is valid (see below) you can change the ID to anything you want. The plugin won't change any IDs that are already present.

Yes, even though the plugin only adds IDs to headings, you can add an ID attribute to things like images, bullet lists, pullquotes, paragraphs, ...anything. Just add an ID attribute to the element and once the content is saved, the ID will show up in the linker as an anchor you can link to. Important: the ID attribute value must be unique to the page it's on. If there is another element with the same ID, the anchor link won't work and you will possibly break other things as well. I added an ID attribute to something on the page, but it doesn't work. ID attributes have certain requirements in order to be valid and work as anchors. First, an ID attribute should start with a letter, and only contain letters, numbers, and '-','_','.'. That's it, no spaces, no other punctuation or symbols. Very important: the ID must be unique. Having two of the same IDs on a page (this includes everything on the page, like menus, footers, etc.) will cause the ID to be invalid and can cause problems with page functionality, specifically javascript will often not work if a page has any duplicate IDs. Also, the HTML won't validate.
