  Hello!

  I write a post, and want to jump to a special part on another page, and I follow the tutorial in that page:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/page-jump

  Here’s my post with the link: https://mysignkey.wordpress.com/2015/04/22/example-1/

  the source page: https://mysignkey.wordpress.com/2015/04/22/ex/

  my code:
  The More Tag » Custom Read More Message

  and the URL in the browser after I click the link: https://mysignkey.wordpress.com/2015/04/22/ex/#custom-read-more-message

  However, when I click on this link, it just displays the whole post (from the very beginning, not the part I want). I have no idea what I did wrong.

  Please help me, and thank in advance!
  My blog I need help with is: https://mysignkey.wordpress.com/

  Hi there. You added the link correctly, but I don’t see the anchor point in the other post.

  Edit https://mysignkey.wordpress.com/2015/04/22/ex/ and switch to the text/html editor. Look for this text:

  <h1>Custom Read More Message</h1>

  Change it so it looks like this:

  <h1 id="#custom-read-more-message">Custom Ream More Message</h1>

  In other words, you need the a-href at the point you click, but then the anchor point should have an id attribute that exactly matches the one for the link.

  Thank you, kokkieh!

  It’s relief to know where I’m wrong, I thought it was something to do with the theme, and you showed me exactly what my mistake was.

  At first, I did what you said, edited my post and changed the code, but nothing happened. Then I removed the hash character in the code you gave me, and it worked.

  `<h1 id=”custom-read-more-message”>Custom Ream More Message</h1>

  Thank for your time and your help, I will remember how to jump to another page from now on!

  Oops! My mistake. Yes, the # should be in the link, but not in the anchor. Glad I could help :)
