    To bad I have a typo in the title maybe that’s why no answer. Anyway I found how by accident.

    It’s not hard once you know how but I could find no documentation to show me. Lots of trial and error. I had used <a id =”myplace”> … </a> in some HTML on my own computer no problem to go to a specific place in a page but WordPress is fussy about how you use it. The following showed what worked, only the <a>…</a> is my addition to what was already in the WordPress page header record. To branch to a specific line in a page, in my case a header record. Edit, HTML, for the header record you want to jump to and add the info as shown here. Note it is just before and after the text displayed for the header record.


    <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center"><a id="myplace">TheHeader</a></h2>

    Then on the page you want to jump from edit the button giving the page to jump to and add #myplace that’s what worked to me.

    I hope someone who wants to do this finds this.

    Thank you for your response. Your suggestion seems to be the type of thing I want but reading your comments I’m not sure that local storage is what I want. I’m a beginner so looked up local storage on the Web and as I understand it is on the users or clients computer and so I would not be accumulating the vote counts for everyone who accessed my site to vote on the items and I do want a running count of all votes. I would like that count to be available to the reader and myself. Am I missing something?
