Back to top arrow (since latest GP update)

[Greg]

Hi guys

The back to top arrow seems to now be pointing downwards instead of upwards since the most recent update, any idea how to fix?

Hi there,

can you clear any cache plugins, and any Server Page Caching you have?

Hi David

Thanks for your quick reply, I’ve cleared the Autoptimize cache and still shows the same – the client is using Cloudflare, should I ask them to clear the cache for the domain there?

Thanks
Greg

If you could ask the client to clear the cloudflare/page caches. let us know.

Hi David

Client ran a full Cloudflare cache reset and both problems still persisting, thoughts appreciated…

Thanks

Very odd… can you try disabling the Back to Top button in Customizer > Layout > Footer. Publish those changes and then re-enable it ?

Hi David, gave that a go but comes back the same unfortunately…

Hi there,

The class for the icon isn’t correct on your site.

Are you using any custom functions/filters?

Hi Tom

Has the class changed? Just as I haven’t change anything on the site/theme before the recent update.

Thanks
Greg

Ahh just deactivated a snippet I had to make the link a followed link and it’s back to facing the correct direction! Any idea which part may have changed?

add_filter( 'generate_back_to_top_output', 'tu_custom_back_to_top_icon' );
function tu_custom_back_to_top_icon() {
    printf(
		'<a title="%1$s" href="#">
				<span class="screen-reader-text">%5$s</span>
				%6$s
			</a>',
			esc_attr__( 'Scroll back to top', 'generatepress' ),
			absint( apply_filters( 'generate_back_to_top_scroll_speed', 400 ) ),
			absint( apply_filters( 'generate_back_to_top_start_scroll', 300 ) ),
			esc_attr( apply_filters( 'generate_back_to_top_icon', 'fa-angle-up' ) ),
			esc_html__( 'Scroll back to top', 'generatepress' ),
			generate_get_svg_icon( 'arrow' )
	);
}

You want to change arrow to arrow-up: https://github.com/tomusborne/generatepress/blob/3.0.1/inc/structure/footer.php#L241

That should fix it 🙂

Awesome thanks Tom, that has indeed fixed it 🙂
Any ideas on the double arrows I’m getting on the WP Show Posts carousel, wondering if it’s a similar issue?

add_filter( 'wpsp_carousel_args', function( $args ) {
    $args['arrows'] = true;
	
    return $args;
} );

Thanks

All sorted, thanks Tom – not quite as I had it before but that’s down to my CSS!

Appreciate the quick help 🙂
