[Resolved] back to top button

[ian]

the back to top button in my opinion

turns on too late when scrolling down and turns off too early when scrolling up

see on dev site here

it is shown next to “Smooth Page Scroll to Top” plugin

Minor point but thought I would point it out

Also is it possible to change the icon used for this ?

I agree that the plugin comes on a fraction earlier then the built-in one but maybe too soon, before you need to go ‘top’?
Overall it seems to work ok on Chrome – for me anyway.

I included some filters in this feature so these values can be adjusted: https://generatepress.com/knowledgebase/filter-list/

generate_back_to_top_scroll_speed
Default: 400

generate_back_to_top_start_scroll
Default: 300

For example:

add_filter( 'generate_back_to_top_start_scroll', 'generate_back_to_top_start_scroll' );
function generate_back_to_top_start_scroll()
{ 
    return 100;
}

Adding PHP: https://generatepress.com/knowledgebase/adding-php-functions/

Let me know if you need more info 🙂

can’t get change back_to_top_icon filter to work
this is the code I am trying
generate_back_to_top_start_scroll works
generate_back_to_top_icon doesn’t

add_filter( ‘generate_back_to_top_start_scroll’, ‘generate_back_to_top_start_scroll’, ‘generate_back_to_top_icon’);
function generate_back_to_top_start_scroll()
{
/* make back to top appear sooner when down, later when up */
return 100;
}

function generate_back_to_top_icon()
{
/* change icon */
return ‘fa-hand-o-up’;
}

any idea what I am doing wrong

Hi Ian,

You’re forgetting the add_filter call:

add_filter( 'generate_back_to_top_icon','generate_back_to_top_icon' );
function generate_back_to_top_icon()
{
    return 'fa-hand-o-up';
}
