Hello there! Are you interested in learning how to make anchor links in Divi WordPress? You’re in luck because this is the perfect resource for you! As someone who has been using Divi for a while, I can guarantee that anchor links can greatly enhance the browsing experience and navigation on your website. In this guide, I will take you through the step-by-step process of creating anchor links in Divi WordPress, while sharing my own insights and experiences. So, let’s get started!
What are Anchor Links?
Before we jump into the technical details, let’s first understand what anchor links are. Anchor links, also known as jump links or page anchors, are clickable links that allow users to navigate to specific sections within the same webpage. They are especially useful when you have long pages with multiple sections, as they provide a convenient way for users to jump directly to the information they’re looking for.
Step 1: Prepare Your Content
The first step in creating anchor links in Divi WordPress is to identify the sections within your webpage that you want to link to. These sections can be headings, paragraphs, or any other element that you want to create a link to. Once you’ve identified the sections, you’ll need to assign unique IDs to each of them. These IDs will be used later as the targets for your anchor links.
To assign an ID to a section in Divi, you can use the built-in CSS ID field. Simply open the settings for the section, go to the Advanced tab, and scroll down to the CSS ID field. Enter a unique ID for the section and save your changes.
Step 2: Create the Anchor Links
Now that you’ve prepared your content and assigned IDs to the sections, it’s time to create the anchor links. In Divi, you can easily create anchor links using the Text module or the Button module.
To create an anchor link using the Text module, simply add a Text module to your page, enter the text you want to use as the link, and highlight the text. Then, click on the “Insert/edit link” button in the module’s toolbar. In the URL field, enter the ID of the section you want to link to, preceded by a hash symbol (#). For example, if the ID of the section is “about”, you would enter “#about” in the URL field. Save your changes, and voila! You’ve created your first anchor link.
If you prefer to use the Button module, the process is very similar. Add a Button module to your page, enter the text you want to use for the button, and click on the “Insert/edit link” button in the module’s toolbar. Enter the ID of the section you want to link to in the URL field, preceded by a hash symbol (#). Save your changes, and your anchor link button is ready to go!
Step 3: Test and Fine-tune Your Anchor Links
With your anchor links in place, it’s important to test them to ensure they’re working correctly. Preview your page and click on each anchor link to verify that it takes you to the intended section. If any of the links are not working as expected, double-check the IDs you assigned to the sections and make sure they match the URLs in your anchor links.
You can also add some additional styling to your anchor links to make them more visually appealing and user-friendly. Divi provides a wide range of customization options for your links, including hover effects, colors, and typography. Feel free to experiment and make your anchor links stand out!

And there you have it! You now know how to create anchor links in Divi WordPress. By adding anchor links to your pages, you can greatly enhance the user experience and make it easier for your visitors to navigate through your content. Remember to assign unique IDs to your sections and use the Text or Button module to create your anchor links. Test and fine-tune your links as needed, and don’t be afraid to add your personal touches to make them truly your own. Happy linking!
