How can I link to an anchor link on a different page in Webflow without using absolute paths?
To link to an anchor link on a different page in Webflow without using absolute paths, you can follow these steps:
- Create an anchor link on the destination page:
- Open the destination page in the Webflow Designer.
- Select the element where you want to create the anchor link.
- Click on the settings icon (gear icon) for that element.
- In the settings panel, under the "ID Attribute" section, enter a unique ID for the element.
- Save and publish your changes.
- Link to the anchor link from the source page:
- Open the source page in the Webflow Designer.
- Select the element (such as a button or text) that you want to use as the link.
- In the settings panel, click on the link icon.
- In the link settings, choose "Page" as the link type.
- Select the destination page from the dropdown menu.
-
In the URL field, enter the relative URL of the destination page followed by
#and the ID of the anchor link. For example:/destination-page#anchor-id - Save and publish your changes.
By using the steps above, you can create a link to an anchor link on a different page in Webflow without resorting to absolute paths. This allows you to maintain flexibility in your project structure and avoid potential issues that may arise from absolute linking.
Example:
Let's assume you have two pages:
home
and
about
. On the
about
page, you have an element with the ID attribute set to
team
. To link to the
team
section on the
about
page from the
home
page, you would set the URL of the link on the
home
page to
/about#team
.
Note: Make sure to include the leading slash
/
before the URL path to ensure the link works correctly.
