Easy Tech TutsHow to Link Menu Items to Anchors on Wix Easily 2026
By Impran M N
For one-page websites, linking your navigation menu to specific anchor points lets visitors jump straight to a section instead of scrolling manually. This guide covers placing anchor elements on your page and binding your header menu items to them so navigation feels smooth on both desktop and mobile.
01Open your page canvas
In the Wix editor, navigate to the page containing the sections you want to link to.
02Add an anchor element
From the Add Elements sidebar, drag a structural anchor component onto the canvas.
03Position and name your anchor
Place the anchor at the top of your target section and give it a unique, identifiable title.
04Open your site's Pages and Menu settings
Navigate to the header navigation links section of your site.
05Link a menu item to the anchor
Use the link tool to select Anchor as the destination and choose your page and anchor ID.
06Check mobile scrolling and preview
Toggle the mobile view to re-verify vertical alignment, then preview the scroll behavior before publishing.
Frequently asked questions
Can I link menu items to anchors on a different page?
Anchors typically work within the page they're placed on, so linking across pages usually requires the visitor to load that page first.
Do anchors work the same on mobile as desktop?
They generally do, but it's worth checking vertical spacing on mobile since layouts can shift between views.
How many anchors can I add to one page?
You can add multiple anchors to create a full scrolling navigation experience across several sections.
Why isn't my menu item scrolling to the right section?
Double-check that the anchor ID selected in your menu link settings matches the anchor you actually placed on the page.
