Blog Post Anchor Links

Here is what worked for us: 1. Add this to the code at the bottom of the page you are working on

import wixLocation from 'wix-location'; $w.onReady(function () { let query = wixLocation.query; console.log("query", query) console.log("query", query.action) if (query.action == "contact") { $w("#anchor1").scrollTo(); } })

The word contact is used in anchor1, when and if it finds it, it will scroll down to that anchored position.

2. This is the link syntax you need to put on your link references in your blog or elsewhere

https://www.yourwixwebsite.com/?action=contact

3. If you need to link to additional elements just add to other pages. If referencing another anchor in the same page just add another function below the code shown above (minus the import line).

$w.onReady(function () { let query = wixLocation.query; console.log("query", query) console.log("query", query.action) if (query.action == "clients") { $w("#anchor2").scrollTo(); } })

I hope this is helpful. Thanks. JR.

Hi all. I am pretty new to Wix and currently in progress of creating my new homepage...

I would like to add an anchor link into a blog post which leads to a certain point of one my pages, but I cant find the appropriate feature. Is it available meanwhile or can I use a workaround instead?

Many thanks...

Hi @Chad Hyatt,

Thanks for your post. We understand that the feature is important, especially for lengthy posts. I can't share exact ETA, but it will be available on the Blog in the upcoming future.

I have to agree that if I can't add anchor links to blogs, I will be off of wix VERY soon. This is an absolutely basic and essential feature. I can't wrap my brain around why it isn't already supported.

Hi @alexhberea,

the feature is in progress, it will be available in the near future.

same here

I'm thinking of leaving Wix, since we don't have this very important function (blog post anchors ).

This feature is really missing also from a SEO perspective :)

If you can link to an anchor on a page, you can actually get more linkjuice because you can link several times to different anchors. BUT if that should work your have to add a # in the url. Example:

This is the blog url: https://www.wixproducts.com/post/how-to-implement-your-new-divider

This will give linkjuice: https://www.wixproducts.com/blog/categories/wix-guides#add-a-strip-to-your-page And this will also give linkjuice: https://www.wixproducts.com/blog/categories/wix-guides#change-strip-background-and-remove-color-background

___

The reason why it gives linkjuice is because Google don't read what comes after # so Google will see the two last links as unique links.

oh alright thanks.

Hi pakapeyou, thanks for reaching out.

Currently we don't have the option to add anchors to blog post,

we will definitely add it to our wish list.
