what is the best plugin to create anchor text in wordpress

What do you mean by anchor text? to add links? That is built in to WP editor.

i need to put in anchors as well and do not see this option on my wp editor. how do i get them?

as far as I understand anchor text, it’s simply whatever word or phrase you hyperlink.
So, for example, David de Beer, my name is hyperlinked so that when you click on it you go to my blog (people tend to say, “click here” or “read this”, with here and this being hyperlinked to whatever website or blog the author wants readers to go to). The anchor text is my name, David de Beer.
So:
The text (word or phrase) that you copy the link onto anchors the link in your post/ page.

Ok, so the question is — how do you incorporate anchor text into wordpress?
posts and pages. The next time you write up a blog post (or comment here on this forum even) look to the menu bar (click on html mode if writing a post in wordpress, it’ll be easier to spot the button that says “link”), highlight the word or phrase you want to hyperlink, copy the link you want to use, click on the “link” button in your toolbar, paste the link and you’re done.

Example:

you write a blog post telling your readers how cool wordpress is. You select the word “wordpress” as your anchor, highlighting it, click on “link” in your toolbar and type in https://www.ads-software.com. click enter, “wordpress” is now hyperlink and you’re done. like so:

wordpress is my favourite blogging platform.

that’s it, that’s anchor text.
(note: this is totally my layman’s understanding of the concept, I could be talking out of my ass).

I must have the wrong terminologoy then, because what i am referring to is an anchor on the page.

For instance, there will be a list of frequently asked questions at the top of a page. Below that will be all the questions listed, along with their answers. The list above is a link. When you click on this question link, it takes you down on the page to where that question and answer are located. This is what I want to implement. I need a page that has multiple listings to have anchors on the page that can be easily clicked to the right spot.

I’m actually using TinyMCE (the same one that WP uses) as an online editor for a custom built cms that i created for my clients. With that i have the anchor feature that i talk about above and I can’t figure out why WP doesn’t have it enabled and how to enable it. Help in this regard would be great!

ah, I understand what you want. I don’t know how to do it myself, never needed it. However, I browsed through my posting toolbar and saw when I clicked on the link button that it does include an option called “anchors”. I have no idea whether this is standard wordpress or not since I’ve been using the TinyMCE Advanced plugin since the beginning and I see that one of the options included is “advanced link”.

The support threads for the plugin is also pretty busy, or you can contact the creator. That might be your best option for what you’re after.

Correction from my previous comment — the tinyMCE Advanced plugin is def. the one you want. It included the option to use anchors.

David, your site link isn’t working coming up with a database error?

OK, so despite the above question being a little incorrectly phrased, this is the only post that comes up for an Anchor Text pluggin – I read that there is one but that site didn’t name it – but said it works by us putting the keywords in that we want it to find in our site and it adds the link to it – like so how conceive

Anybody know where I can find it or what it is called???
