No Documentation or support on connecting main menu:

I know how links work in relation to HTML, CSS & Javascript; I know how to simply add an anchor to my (page/#galleryAnchor). I know how to add an ID# to a color section in the ALB. But I found nothing in the docs about connecting my menu with my 1 page parallax.

So I just tried it the standard way: http://www.myDomain.com/myhomePage/#propGallery
from appearances/menu/custom link
DIDN”T WORK
Then I reviewed the Docs again and this was the only thing I found:

“…To point you, the visitor, directly to the portfolio section I would use this link:
http://kriesi.at/themes/enfold/homepage/home-v7-one-page-portfolio/#portfolio”

Gramatically leaves more questions than I started with – but I get that, yes, you add the /#anchorName to the appropriate page.

BUT IT DOESN’T WORK so I went and searched the forums on how to link the menu in general. There are links with different form in this theme, but with no docs or explanation or examples:

http://www.skybluepreviews.com/bGroup/ (in the address bar)
http://www.skybluepreviews.com/bGroup/?page_id=3343 (the permalink)
‘page,3343’ (from short code)

There are probably many simple ways to make a link/#anchor with all 3 types but without any way to know how, I’m left to guess and use trial and error. But with anything that is exact, trial and error is foolish. So I searched the forums will all the words below. To learn about linking in general:
link menu
link main menu
add links to menu
connecting main menu
main nav
linking main nav

NOTHING

Then after reading other topics I found: http://yoursite.com/#anchor Tried it in appearances/menu and DIDN’T WORK

ALL THIS WORK SO FAR FOR A TASK THAT WOULD TAKE 5 MIN OUTSIDE OF THIS THEME. Or if there was anything at all with a simple example. ANYTHING. This is not an isolated example. The docs have major holes in them. I had to read the docs on another theme to learn about the general stuff and was cleared up on a lot of things in 15 min that I spent a week struggling with on Enfold.

1) Can someone just show me what an anchor looks like in the short code? or the most “hands on” way to just get it done? Please just code examples, no wordy instruction navigating the ALB that leave out a major step anyhow. I need to link up everything in my 1 page parallax and my client is running out of patience. The first two times I wrote into the forum on another topic, I was answered with “I”M NOT SURE WHAT YOU ARE ASKING” which is what happens when you skim a question cus you don’t give a !*$@ and you know your about to close for a week for the holiday. And that closure cost me a project I committed to do with this theme but there was no support for the entire window of time. But I paid for the support, didn’t get it and suffered losses.

I’m sharing this because it is what I experienced and I imagine there are many others who are even now experiencing the same.

The Kriesi Team really needs to learn from watching test subjects new to wordPress try to find answers in the docs and get through basic set up so they know where the major holes are. For starters, you should put the videos in an order respective of the process. This whole setback and support closing cost me more time and loss of income that I can bear to talk about.

Venting and hoping for a simple answer… and hoping to encourage a revamp of the doc and forum. The theme has so much potential.
