    Hi there, I am about to pull my hair out at this point. I have chatted three different times with AI help to try and get information on how to add navigation links to my pages in my website. I’ve gone through multiple different ways they’re telling me to do it with none of them working I’ve ended up chatting anywhere from half an hour to an hour and a half wasting time. Maybe someone here can please help me?

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

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

    Do you mean links to navigate around inside a single page or post (often called “jump links”) ?

    If so, and IF you use the Classic Editor, I can walk you through doing that. I have jump links in several of my pages.

    Because I never use the Block Editor, I can’t tell you how to make jump links using that, however.

    p.s. – Just as an FYI, adding jump links by using the Classic Editor does require doing the various steps in the “HTML” view tab, rather than the standard Visual view. It’s not hard, but I just want to mention that in case you’re not already familiar with HTML commands.

    Hi there,

    Good morning. I hope you’re doing great.

    It sounds like you’d like to add click-to-scroll functionality on the page using inner links or a navigation menu, commonly referred to as “Page Jumps.” To do this, first, add an anchor or CSS ID where you’d like to direct the user upon clicking.

    Then set the link for the button or link to something like #hero, so it redirects the user to this section if they’re already on the same page. However, if you want to set this up from the menu, you’ll also need to specify the page URL. For example, use /about/#hero, or for the home page, use /#hero.

    For more details, please have a look at the following article.

    Have a good day!

    Thanks
    Faisal

    @faisalahammad , your example and link only applies if the OP is using the Block Editor.

    If the OP is using the Classic Editor, it’s an entirely different procedure.

    Also, the OP’s site appears to be on Bluehost, rather than on WordPress.com. So perhaps that is the discrepancy also.
