    How do I make an anchor link? I know I need to create an ID for the block I want to link to, but everything I read says I can only do that using the Advanced settings in a sidebar, and there isn’t a sidebar showing up when I select the block I want to link to.

    WP.com: Unknown
    Jetpack: Unknown
    Correct account: Unknown

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

    Hi @bryantstassistant, are you using these instructions? If you’re not seeing the block settings, make sure you’ve got those toggled on.

    Page jumping, also referred to as anchor links or jump links, is where you click a link and instantly get moved somewhere further up or down a long page. The Table of Contents to the right is an example of page jumps. Why Use Page Jumps? A page jump is a great way to link to a section of a page. Your site visitors can click to go from one part of a long page to another part of that same

    Also, I noticed your site isn’t hosted here, so there is some possibility that you’ve got a different setup. If you need more help with your WordPress installation, you’ll want to be sure to use the forums for the free, DIY WordPress code instead, as these forums are primarily for our free-tier hosting.

    Here’s an overview of our services vs the DIY software, but in short, we provide hosting, maintenance, security, support, and spam filtering, as well as real-time backups depending on the plan you use. If you’re interested in moving your site here, let us know your goals with your site and any questions you have. We can confirm the best plan for your case and recommend your next steps.

    Cheers!
