id= tag on text

  • My newsletter has 3 sections; News, Auditions and Performances. At the top of the newsletter is a text field with those three words with links to those sections of the newsletter. (i.e. < a href=”#News”> News < /a >) (I added spaces before and after “<” and “>” so the codes display instead of being interpreted.) Next I need to add the id= tag to the top of each section of the newsletter.

    I added a text field with “News” as the text. It’s source code (via “< >”) shows this:

    < h2 style=”text-align: center;” > News < /h2 >

    I add the tag id=”News” so it is: < h2 style=”text-align: center;” id=”News” > and save it. If I then open the source code again, the id=”News” tag was not saved. Is there a way to add the id= tag to some text?

    Additional information:

    Since I cannot create the id= tag in MailPoet, I found a workaround that works when I preview the email, but not in the email received by the recipient.

    I am using the Event Calendar Newsletter plugin to generate the lists of auditions and events from EventPrime. The shortcode that I use in MailPoet can include a “header” section prior to the events list. I include the id= tag in that header. When I preview the email (post notification set to send every Sunday evening) the links from the top of the newsletter to the “Auditions” and “Events” works great. It does just what I expect. But in the email as received by the recipients the link goes to to some invalid blank page ( for example: https://mn-act.net/?mailpoet_router&endpoint=track&action=click&data=WyIyIiwiYTZlMWIxIiwiMyIsIjZmYzRlY2NiMTMyNyIsZmFsc2Vd) and I get an error that says “page isn’t redirecting properly”.

    I really need the id= tag to work in MailPoet. My list of auditions and events covers 2 weeks and there could be as many as 20 events on a single day. The ability to jump to the various sections of the email is quite important to us. I don’t know much (to say the least) about email sending, so I don’t understand why allowing an id= tag in a text field is not allowed.

    Other than the above, I’m quite happy with MailPoet and what I can do with it.

    Thank you for your help.
