This plugin makes your anchor links to scroll smooth and adds a scroll to top button in the lower-right corner of long pages. The scroll to top button appears after some scrolling and hides automatically reaching top. This plugin is based on cudazi’s plugin “Scroll to Top”, and you may use this plugin if you need “Scroll to top” feature.
NOTE: The plugin might not be compatible wit…
Perfect
The code for the smooth scroll is very solid, I just wish that you didn’t put a crappy back to top button by default. I say crappy because aesthetically it really doesn’t look good. It’s a boring gray color with a blurry rasterized image as opposed to a vector. I want to be able to disable this and yet you advertise that your plugin has no dashboard item. It definitely should so people can turn this off. Will rate better if an option to disable the back to top button is implemented.
The Plugin just needs to be installed and works directly.
Also the support answers within one day.
You guys are awesome!
A really great and functional plugin with excellent support from the developer.
Lightweight and works well. Requires a bit of js coding knowledge to fine tune.
