Anchor Links

LabyVentures · July 2020

I have been trying for the past 3 weeks now to create anchor links within the same page. At first, went through the forum to see if others have had similar issues and I wasn't surprised to find dozens. I read through each of the questions and the Muffin Group's replies and it was quite frustrating because since 2014, people have been asking the same questions and they have not been able to resolve the issue or add that functionality to their themes.

I thought I would do better by communicating directly with them, sending them screenshots, demonstrating what I am trying to achieve. 2 weeks later, we are going back and forth. I don't know if it is the fact that they are not native English speakers or they purposefully misunderstand my issue. Like dozens of others who have had the same issues, first they send this long-winded literature of tutorials that does not address the issue. When you point that out to them, then they assume that is is a one page site that you are trying to create anchor links from menu items.

The frustrating thing is that all other themes that I have used have very easy ways of doing this. Let me copy and paste an example of what I am trying to do from another theme tutorial. I am trying to achieve this same thing using betheme:

Can someone please help or explain how to do so? Or maybe confirm my conclusion that this is the only theme out there that doesn't have the functionality to have this done?

Hello, to create the anchor links, please follow the steps below:
1. Go to menus and create a new menu - http://prnt.sc/f2v9he
2. Name the menu and add a custom link with the ID anchor you will use later(do not use spaces). Add to menu -http://prnt.sc/f2v9th
3. When the menu item is added to the menu, save and go to Manage Locations -http://prnt.sc/f2vafb
4. You go to your main page, you see the new link but when you click nothing happens? No worries, it is because the link has to know where to scroll, to do this edit the page. -http://prnt.sc/f2vc36
5. Edit the section to which you want the button to scroll -http://prnt.sc/f2vcho
6. In the field Custom ID type in the id from the button, in my case, it was id=work, no hashtag there -http://prnt.sc/f2vgaz
7. Remember to have the one-page option selected under the muffinbuiler -http://prnt.sc/f2vcm7

If you do not want to use a normal menu to link the user to sections, you need to add a 'scroll' class to the custom link element.

After following them, you will be able to create working anchor links on single page.

Thanks
