Setting multiple anchors in a blog post may show a problem.

The problem apparent is that it seems to jump out of the current post and out to the route page of the blog. There it sits…. Forever!

Contact with Kershnee at Yola Support resulted in a solution. It appears that the blog setup uses a "base ref" tag. Thus

<base href="http://{www.example.com}/{app}.php" />

An article reference that Kershnee gave me explained the effect of this:
Ref: http://www.ilikespam.com/blog/using-base-href-with-anchors

There are a couple of points that I would like to highlight from that article:

"The purpose of the <base/> tag is to specify the base location for resolving relative urls. It was only ever meant to be used for viewing a page where the document root is not available (for example, from an email) and should technically point to the actual document location, rather than the homepage. However, there are two significant advantages to the latter:
1.    Your site can be easily ported to a new location; and
2.    Your web applications can be built without any reference to the location they are installed."

But…..

"Unfortunately, there is one downside - it breaks anchor links."

So identification of the problem was made. The solution: to include the path to the blog post either as a relative or an absolute URL.

 

Relative URL

Absolute URL

Broken:

#anchor

http://www.example.com/app#anchor

Corrected:

page#anchor

http://www.example.com/app/page#anchor
  

I chose to use the absolute URL fix and it worked immediately.

I would very much like to thank Kershnee for her support and accuracy in solving this issue. As always her communication is top notch and she is always timely in her responses.  A very professional responder.
