Adding Jump Links In Posts

Estimated reading: 3 minutes 73 views

Many of our theme posts contain jump links (also known as anchor links); here, we aim to explain them and how to set them up or customize them. A recipe blog has many jump links; for example, when a reader clicks on the Jump to Recipe button located at the top of the post, it will jump to the recipe card. Alternatively, a jump link might be set at the top of a post via a simple text link so that when a reader clicks on it, the reader will be taken to the bottom of the page.

Jump links are very easy to create; to create them, follow these steps:

What Does A Jump Link Look Like?

Here is an example of a text jump link. When a reader clicks on it, the link takes them to the anchor wherever it’s placed on the post. The same principle applies to jump link buttons, except they’re buttons.

How To Add A Jump Link

  • Highlight the text you want to turn into a jump link. Click on the link icon in the block toolbar. In the URL field, enter # followed by the ID you set for the target block (e.g., #recipe-card, #contact-us, #about-us). Click “Submit” to create the jump link.
  • Kadence: To set the anchor’s ID, click on the Block on the right side. Click on the Advanced section, then, go to the last section at the bottom, where you’ll see another Advanced. Open it up; you will now be able to see the HTML Anchor. Enter the unique ID (e.g., recipe-card, contact-us, about-us) without the asterisk.
  • WordPress: Setting the anchor’s ID in WordPress is a little simpler than using Kadence. Click on the Block on the right side, then at the bottom, you will see Advanced; click on it to open the HTML Anchor. Enter the unique ID (e.g., recipe card, contact-us, about-us) without the asterisk.

Customize the Link Style (Optional)

If you want to style the jump link differently, use the Kadence block settings or additional CSS to change its appearance (such as color, size, or hover effects).

Testing the Jump Link

Preview the post and click on the jump link to ensure it smoothly scrolls to the desired anchored section.

Additional Tips

  • Smooth Scroll Effect: Kadence typically supports smooth scrolling, but if it doesn’t work, you may need to enable or configure it in the theme settings.
  • Check for Conflicts: Other plugins or themes might sometimes interfere with jump links or scrolling behavior. Make sure there are no conflicting plugins.

NOTE: If some of these options are unavailable, you most likely do not have the Kadence Pro installed.
