## Beschrijving

WP Anchor Header generates anchored headings (H1-H6), creating a heading like this:

    ```
    <h2 id="the-heading">
       The Heading<a class="anchorlink dashicons-before" href="#the-heading"></a>
    </h2>
    ```

The links are styled using the following CSS:

    ```
    /* show IDs for anchors */
    h1[id]:hover a.anchorlink:before,
    h2[id]:hover a.anchorlink:before,
    h3[id]:hover a.anchorlink:before,
    h4[id]:hover a.anchorlink:before,
    h5[id]:hover a.anchorlink:before,
    h6[id]:hover a.anchorlink:before {
        content: "\f103"; /*dashicons-admin-links*/
        color: #888;
        font-size: smaller;
        text-decoration: none;
        vertical-align: baseline;
    }
    a.anchorlink {
        text-decoration: none;
        margin-left: 0.5em;
        font-size: smaller;
    }
    ```

### 󠀁[Removed all content from my wordpress site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/removed-all-content-from-my-wordpress-site/)󠁿

I installed and activated the plugin through the Wordpress "Add New" Plugin wizard,
with no special configuration. I am running the plugin with the MH Magazine Lite
theme. As soon as it was activated, it caused all content from all pages to be removed
from the site. The content is not served at all (it's not just a stylesheet display:
none issue). Fortunately deactivating the plugin allowed all my content to be served
again (it was still stored in the database, but couldn't be viewed by visitors).

### 󠀁[Awesome plugin! Great time saver! A few suggestions.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-plugin-great-time-saver-a-few-suggestions/)󠁿

 [Evan Scheingross](https://profiles.wordpress.org/evster/) 29 juni 2017

This plugin saved me a significant amount of time adding anchor links throughout
an existing website. It worked exactly as expected. My only suggestion would be 
a settings panel in the admin where users can specify exactly which header elements
get anchor links automatically associated with them. So for example, I can go in
and select "apply anchor links to <H4> only." The ability to have a setting to turn
on/off the hover link icon would be very helpful too. I had to manually edit the
CSS to hide these icons on everything but H4's in my entry content.

A very simple but effective plugin which saves a lot of time creating anchors for
headings.

 [CMTV](https://profiles.wordpress.org/cmtv/) 3 september 2016

To tell the truth I had no hope searching for a plugin that would add links to headers.
And I was so surprised when this plugin did exactly what I wanted. Thank you, Per
Soderlind, for this plugin! P.S.: Sorry for my English, I am Russian.
