How do I link to a section of my page?

I’m trying to link from one blog post to a middle section of a page I created using visual composer. How can this be done? So when someone clicks that link, instead of them going to the top of that I want them to go to a certain section on that page. Some pages of mine are very long and I want to link to specific topics on that page. I’m sure there is a way to do it, I just don’t have any idea how.

Basic HTML; many tutorials online for creating “jump links” …

(never hurts to invest in a basic HTML book either!)

e.g.,

<a href="#jumptomiddle">JUMP to middle</a>

<p id="jumptomiddle">This is my paragraph in middle of page I want to jump to. </p>

Hope that helped!

(I don’t work here.)

thanks. I’ll try that. I was wondering if there was some kind of built in way to link to a certain visual composure text block on the page.

Hello fredyyv,

If you want to make some links using the Visual Composer, notice that you can do this if you will use the Visual Composer Buttons functionality, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/U1Z3CMxK2Z For more information about how you can use this plugin, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your understanding!

Catalin, I wasn’t referring to just making links. I was referring to making links that jump to a specific section on the page. I was hoping to find out how it can be done by linking to a specific visual composure text block from a different page.

Hi,

The suggestion was that you can use a button shortcode if you want for the link, but you can do it in other ways as well. A button can be used to link to a text block for example on another page. You can add it to a page or post. First set an Id to the respective text block

From a post to the text block on a different page

From a page to the text block on a different page

Also jump to that text on the same page

Or just create links like this – https://www.screencast.com/t/An4YQuzMb
