[Bug][Anchor Tag]Navigate to a section of a page is not working anymore after new SCN migration

[sharad_dixit3]

Hi Colleagues,

Before migration to new SCN community, In our blogs navigation to the section within the page was working but after migration, those links are not working anymore. Is new SCN don't support this functionality?

Earlier in HTML source code, I was doing like this

<code><h3 id="link"/> Header2 </h3>

<code><a href="#link"> Navigate to Header2 </a>

<br>

But his is no longer working.

Link to blog is here .

Hello, Sharad.

I found this blog content from old SCN. It has link the following link:

<a name="BeforeInt"/>

But we don't see it on rendered blog page. I guess blogs system filtered this link during blogs migration, because it has no content.

Although, you can use such functionality for any of your posts it exactly the same way you mentioned above. And I think that such anchor links still exist for non-empty html tags.

Best regards,

Slava.

Hi Sharad.

You need to use href="#navi" to make it works. I changed it for you and it works now.

Hi, Sharad:

I believe you're asking about anchor links?

There is no way to add them from the View tab of the blog solution, but using the Text tab, there should be a way to handle this via html.

I do know that we switched from two different blogging solutions (Jive to Wordpress), so it wasn't exactly a perfect transition.

Could you perhaps share same examples of a link that should have taken people to an exact spot on the page?

Best regards,

Hi Jerry,

Yes, I am talking about anchor links. Also, You can refer Slava's example to check this or you refer to my blog where i specifically created an example on word "This". Ideally on clicking this should navigate me to "Frequently Asked Questions:" line however it is navigating me to different blog.
