Cant get anchor links to work in navigation

Hi! I have tried every online tutorial for this. I know how to create an anchor link in the code block and I know how to add it as a "link" to the navigation, but it does not work. It doesnt do anything when I click the link.

I am trying to create "jump links" in my navigation that jumps to sections of the homepage. I just have one continuous page and dont want separate pages.

Any advice?

Hi!

For using anchor links, you can use codeblocks to insert the links on your homepage and then simply add them to your navigation.

Steps:

1. Insert the following code (in a code block) to the section where the navigation link should jump to (this id has to be unique):

<p id="link"/p>

2. Then, add a link to the navigation containing "/site-name#link" (e.g. /home#link)

<p id="link"/p>

This needs a couple more angle brackets:

<p id="link"></p>

<span id="link"></span>

and you may want to use span instead as it doesn't have a line-height associated with it.

@Ziggy Thank you. This works! How do I make it so the navigation text 1) Is aligned with the icons? It seems to be "off center" with my social icons and 2) NOT have a "strike through" line when you mouse over the item.

See vid for example

I'm not sure what's going on in your video. My guess is that you have the line height for the navigation set to zero, but I also don't see the strikethrough or the misalignment of the navigation with the social icons.

This is a good guide to follow in general for anchor links:

It will help you add a smooth scroll and offset.

Ziggy thank you, you helped out when nothing I found online or the help center could. I'm assuming it's because I'm trying to use it in the test window, but sometimes the anchors work just like they should and then sometimes they just don't do anything, but my site is still private and I haven't tested it in the wild yet. Just curious as to why they'd work in the in-cognito editor once and then stop.

Cache would be my first guess, that's the major difference in using an incognito window. You can try clearing your browser cache to see if that makes a difference.
