### 󠀁[Interferes with Tabs](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/interferes-with-tabs/)󠁿

 [wp-MeMeMe](https://profiles.wordpress.org/wp-mememe/) 12 maart 2022

Just a warning: This plugin causes tabs created by another plugin to be treated 
as anchors, causing the page to jump whenever a tab is clicked. Unfortunately, this
pushes the tabs just off the top of the screen, and with vertical tabs hides the
top of the text contained in the tab. TRhis makes the tabs pretty much unusable,
so you have to choose which plugin is most important and dump the other.

When I started working in WP, I as totally surprised anchors were so restricted 
and frustrated. This solves that problem simply and straightforwardly.

### 󠀁[AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-awesome-awesome-22/)󠁿

 [pjsorell](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pjsorell/) 24 mei 2020

Such a simple yet INGENIOUS little plugin that elegantly solves a bugger of an issue
with Gutenberg WordPress… inserting “Anchors” (i.e. Page Jumps) into pages. As someone
who can edit HTML code quite well, I find it awkward how WordPress makes it to add“
anchors” to any place in a document OTHER THAN Headers (Gutenberg has this built
in, but JUST for headers). Trying to add the HTML code id=”xyz” to anywhere else(
text, pictures, etc) forces you to convert the block to pure HTML, thereby losing
the block editing structure for all else related to that particular block. So now
you have to work with BOTH Block and HTML content on a single page. There is no 
way to just add the HTML “id code” and keep the existing Gutenberg Block editing
structure for all other aspects of the paragraph or picture. Trust me, if I wanted
to work in HTML, I would. But there are reasons why I use WordPress and this one
caveat of forcing mixed editing styles is just dysfunctional. Enter Gutenberg Anchor
BLock! Simply add it to your page, just as you would any other block, just above
where you want an anchor point, enter a unique name for the anchor, and voila… you’re
DONE! A genius of an idea for which the developer, Jean-Baptiste Audras, should 
get royalties when it becomes a built-in of the next Gutenberg update. See, it truly
IS the little things in life that make you the happiest!

### 󠀁[Nice anchor link integration, but…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-anchor-link-integration-but/)󠁿

 [btxtiger](https://profiles.wordpress.org/btxtiger/) 2 april 2020

This is a nice method to integrate anchor links in gutenberg editor. However the
top spacing is sadly not working for me. I’m using the Astra theme. I placed the
anchor block just before a heading
