Use heading automatic IDs for custom post types

    Yoast will add ids to h2-h6 tags, on pages and posts. I have a custom post type called ‘events’ where I would like this to work. How do I apply this function to other post types?

    Hello!

    Thanks for reaching out.

    Can you please provide us a screenshot of the “ID” you’re referring to and where is it shown on your posts and pages?

    Looking forward to your response.

    Alright, well here’s what it looks like when I create a page in WordPress:

    In Gutenberg, I can set the ‘HTML Anchor’ for a heading under Advanced Settings, in the sidebar. This just creates an ID attribute for the tag.

    However, if I leave this blank, Yoast will create an ID for the header, based on the title itself:

    In this example, I left the HTML Anchor field blank for the first H2, but manually entered something for the second H2. The first one’s ID was filled in by Yoast.

    This is what I want, but I also have custom post types. For instance, I use a plugin called Events Manager and it creates a custom post type called ‘Event’. When I add headings to pages or posts, Yoast attaches the auto ID. It does not do this for the custom posts.

    How do I extend this functionality to custom posts?

    OK, I created an issue on Githib. Could you tell me where this functionality exists, in the codebase? Maybe I can pull the function and create something in my theme.

    Unfortunately we can’t offer support on custom code. Since we don’t want to take the risk that we break your website by suggesting incorrect or incomplete code, we cannot advise you on how to make such changes.
