Anchors within Pages & Posts

[Como]

Is it possible to add internal anchors within a webpage using the text editor? I'd like to have an index at the top of a very long page (it would be occasionally useful for posts too, hence why I need it to work with the editor).

Thanks.

There's nothing in the software itself which by default allows for this. However, an anchor is a very simple HTML item, if there isn't an existing CKEditor plugin which you could install, you could create your own custom button.

Thanks, @Jim M. I did not realise that I could do this. I'll take a look.

Oh dear. I downloaded the anchor and added it. I've lost all editor functions. Is there a way to wind this back.

It appears that, I think, that I should have built a whole new editor.

Ah. Just found the restore function. I've lost my own customizations to the menus, but that's a minor problem.

Is it possible to add an individual menu item (anchors)? Or do i have to build the entire this over at CKEditor?

You can add individual items to ckeditor, yes.

If It's a plugin from their site

If its something you are doing yourself

Thanks, Mark.

The addon from CKEditor appears to be incompatible. But I did manage to add the function and a button a few days ago by following the instructions here:

Glad to hear you managed to add what you need 🙂
