Create anchor from Wysiwyg editor

Question

Is there any way to create internal anchors without using the HTML rendering option? I don't mind but I guess my customer will ;)

Thanks!

Answer 1

In the "tinyMCE Advanced" plugin has a special icon for that. The default WordPress installation don't offer the anchor icon/attribute editor.

Answer 2

Here's a simple non-plugin solution, you can paste this into your functions.php :

function set_tinymce_buttons( $initArray ) {
    $initArray['theme_advanced_buttons1'] ='formatselect,|,bold,italic,underline,|,bullist,numlist,charmap,|,pastetext,pasteword,|,removeformat,|,anchor,link,unlink,|,undo,redo';
    $initArray['theme_advanced_buttons2'] = '';
    $initArray['theme_advanced_blockformats'] = 'h2,h3,h4,p';
    return $initArray;
}
add_filter('tiny_mce_before_init', 'set_tinymce_buttons');

With that you can set the two lines of buttons as well as the tags in the Format dropdown.

See this page for options.

Building off of mike23's answer. Here you can just append the anchor button to the wysiwyg panel.

function set_tinymce_buttons( $initArray ) {
    $initArray['theme_advanced_buttons1'] .= ',anchor';
    return $initArray;
}
add_filter('tiny_mce_before_init', 'set_tinymce_buttons');
