Reply To: Can someone explain a link thing?

Hi,

Hmm… now I’ve actually tried to do it, those instructions don’t make sense! I think a story is a ‘page’ in their world. But I think the problem is that those instructions are for a newer version of wordpress than we’re running here, as I can’t see any way to add the ‘anchor’.

So, I think you have to do it a bit more manually, by inserting HTML tags.

On the ‘Edit Story’ page, the main text box has two tabs, ‘Visual’ and ‘Text’. If you click on ‘Text’ then you can see (and edit) the HTML. The clickable bits are enclosed in tags, and the places they link to are in <span> </span> tags.

Hope this helps 🙂

Here’s a noddy example, which you can hopefully copy and adapt.:

<a href="#paragraph_one">click here to jump to paragraph one</a>

<a href="#paragraph_two">click here to jump to paragraph two</a>

<span id="paragraph_one"></span>This is paragraph one, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum."

<span id="paragraph_two"></span>This is paragraph two. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
