Excellent – does just what it says on the tin; and being able to add your own image for the button makes if very flexible. Thanks for a lovely free plugin

couldn’t be simpler
by Donna McMaster·7 years ago
Installed the plugin, chose an icon, set the “Distance from top before displaying scroll up element” to 800px, and it works beautifully. There are more configuration options but the defaults would work for most situations. Kudos!
