Before Before After Before

Configurable Variables


Heading Selector

Determine which headings you want to have the ID + anchor Use a regex-like range or list, e.g.: 2-6 or 346.

Anchor Class

Your css classes that are attached to the anchor link.

Anchor Content

The text for your anchor. If you prefer an icon, you could also use HTML for example.

What are the Alternatives?


There are existing tools like Anchorific JS but its dependency is jQuery. I love to have an alternative that is PHP only.

Known issues


  • Anchors are placed in front of the text. This could be a future configurable setting.
  • The slug is also not configurable yet, currently it is lowercased and space is replaced with hyphens/dashes

Thanks are due to ProcessWire and the amazing system and set of modules that are in place.” —Unni Krishnan, Founder of PigtailPundits
