  I’m hoping to create an anchor link within a page, so I can link to text lower down within the same page. Is this possible in wordpress?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi Moxymetals,

  You can definitely create anchor links within your post or page! When you are editing a post or page you will have to switch to the “Text” editor button to add the anchor link code.

  First, go to the lower section you would like to link to and add the following code around “a word or words” in that section:
  <a id="YourID">a word or words</a>
  YourID can be whatever you would like it to be (be sure to keep the ” “)

  Now go to the “word or words” you would like to create a link to your anchored section when clicked, use this code:
  <a href="#YourID">word or words</a>
  YourID should be the ID you created in the first set of code (again be sure to keep the ” ” and remember to add the # in front of YourID)

  Hope this helps!!
