Anchors to a part of another page

Hi,

I’m still a beginner in WP and have a simple question concerning anchors. When I use an anchor to a part of the same page I use an # before the symbolic name of the part. If the part is named xyz I use #xyz in the Destination URL field. Works fine.

When I jump to another page, I use ‘select content’ in the URL that gives me post:28 (or any other number). Works also fine.

Now the question: how can I jump to a part of another page. I tried ‘post:28/#xyz‘ but that didn’t work.

What must I do to create an anchor using symbolic names (like xyz).

Thanks in advance

Chris

Hi Chris,
You’ll need to write the full URL to the page rather than the page:id text. So, for example, if the full page URL is http://example.com/wedding-gallery/ you would write:
```
http://example.com/wedding-gallery/#xyz
```
Or:
```
/wedding-gallery/#xyz
```
Does that make sense?
