How To Link To A Section In Elementor Using The Menu Anchor Widget

First, edit the page with Elementor on which you have the Section.

Once Elementor is active, scroll down in the left-side Elementor panel until you see the Menu Anchor widget.

Now, drag-and-drop the Menu Anchor widget as the first widget in the Section to which you want to link to.

Set ID of the Menu Anchor widget

The Menu Anchor widget settings will display on the left-hand side. Set an ID for the Menu Anchor widget using “The ID of Menu Anchor” field. You will use this ID to link to the Section later on.

In the above image, you can see that I have set “video-tour” as the ID of the Menu Anchor.

Now, edit the widget from which you want to link to this Section. Then, set the Link field of that widget with the following text:

# + the ID of the Menu Anchor widget.

In the below image, you can see that I have set the Link field of the Button widget to #video-tour.

Save your changes.

And that’s it!

Now, whenever someone clicks on the button, they will be taken to the Section.

In this tutorial, I have used the Button widget to link to the Section, but you can use any other widget too that has the Link field. Or you can just use the Text Editor widget and create a hyperlink to the Section using the ID of the Menu Anchor.

Alright!
