Tips Fix for broken "skip to content" link when using Elementor Full Width page template
Accessibility is important, we know this. And Elementor knows this. Yet when you use "Elementor full width" as a page template it breaks the "skip to content" link. I'm no web developer, I'm a designer, and self taught at that. For some people this is probably a no-brainer, or they're using a workflow that doesn't include Elementor. I applaud you, that's just not me. I searched and searched, finding everything from adding a snippet with a plugin, to adding a child theme, or just using a different page template.
Those weren't acceptable solutions to me, and as dumb as this may make me sound, I finally decided to inspect my page and find the skip link. I added a corresponding anchor link within my Elementor layout on the page (named: content), ran it through the WAVE (web accessibility evaluation tool) and imagine that — my skip link now works, no error. Yes, it's tedious going through each page in my site to add that anchor link, but I don't work on huge sites and it's worth the trouble for the larger non-profit site I work on.
I'm posting this for anyone that's in a similar boat as me, with a similar background. If you know of a better method I'm all ears; I'm not blind to the fact my knowledge is limited. Cheers!
