* Hi-
* I need to add # to my permalink structure for the theme I am using. I want my
permalink structure to be [http://www.yoursite.com/#about](http://www.yoursite.com/#about)
* But WP is not saving the structure. Any help on the proper syntax for adding #
will be much appreciate.
* Currently it is set as:
[http://www.yoursite.com/%postname%/](http://www.yoursite.com/%postname%/)
and I need to add the # tag to the front of the %postname%.
* Thanks so much for the assistance and direction.

* I did the same kind of thing on my single post template to move users directly
to the content. But not by using the way you said.
If you do this with new permalink
structure rebuild, ALL links will redirect users to #about. Even on an archive
page, category page, tag page, post, page, comment page, pagination page, feed,
comment feed…). I don’t think this is what you want. **You want this behavior
only for post or something like this ?**
* **I did it by this way in my blog :**
Copy/paste the following code in the **
Head** section of your **single.php** file (to test) :
* __
* ```
...
...
```
* __
* his will do a very quick redirect when the page will load.

* thanks so much for the response. I do not want all links to be redirect to the
about page.
* I need the entire page structure of my site to look like
* [http://www.yoursite.com/#about](http://www.yoursite.com/#about)
* for example-
* [http://www.yoursite.com/#contact](http://www.yoursite.com/#contact)
[http://www.yoursite.com/#galleries](http://www.yoursite.com/#galleries)
[http://www.yoursite.com/#resume](http://www.yoursite.com/#resume)
* Thanks again

* Ho, OK, I believe I misunderstood what you want to do. If I understand well now…
* You can’t do this.
**#** is used by all the web browsers to move the users window
to a content that have an ID that matche the word behind **#**
* for exemple, with the link :
[http://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-setting-help?replies=3#post-3759863](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-setting-help?replies=3#post-3759863)
* you are directly moved to my first answer in this topic, because **#post-3759863**
matche with **id=”post-3759863″** :

* really? that is bad news. I purchased a WP theme that I am trying to customize
by adding new pages. The documentation for the theme states this is possible
and more importantly necessary bc it is a one page site template.
* [http://themeforest.net/item/hanna-responsive-retro-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/3285377](http://themeforest.net/item/hanna-responsive-retro-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/3285377)
* The documentation states:
* Then in the Custom Links section below, you can begin adding your Menu items.
In the URL
field you need to enter the full URL of your site (ie; [http://www.mysite.com/](http://www.mysite.com/)),
and also the link (#) anchor to scroll to the various sections on the site. You
will also need to add a label (ie; Latest Work). Below is an example of how you
should enter the correct URL so the scroll functionality works. These examples
are taken from the Hanna preview site. – [http://www.yoursite.com/#latest-work](http://www.yoursite.com/#latest-work)–
[http://www.yoursite.com/#recent-news](http://www.yoursite.com/#recent-news) –
[http://www.yoursite.com/#about](http://www.yoursite.com/#about) – [http://www.yoursite.com/#contact](http://www.yoursite.com/#contact)

* OK… In this case, it’s possible.
But you do not have to change permalink structure
to do this.
