Back to Top Button requires footer widget?
8 replies · Started by David R on April 2, 2017
For the Back to Top Button to appear (Layout->Footer), why does it require 1+ footer widgets? With 0 footer widgets, the Back to Top won't appear.
Hi David,
The Back to Top button should work when there is no footer widget:

Not quite sure why it's not working for you though.
Can you first try #1 on this page?

If not can you provide a link to your site?
Thanks!
With absolutely no plugins enabled (even GP Premium disabled), Back to Top will only appear on the live site with 2+ widgets now. It never appears in Customize.
Then I re-enabled GP Premium and Simple CSS, and now it works as you say it should: 0 footer widgets and it appears, in Customize and in the live render.
Maybe a bad, temporary caching issue? I re-enabled the only other plugin I have (BreezingForms), and it still works properly now.
Disabled/re-enabling plugins fixed it, whatever the culprit.
Hmm, sounds like it could be a caching issue.
I have the same issue that just appeared. The back-to-top is not appearing. It was working before. Client just brought it to my attention.

Hi David,
Can you give #1 on this page a shot?

Something had to change to make it not working anymore.
Let me know.
***RESOLVED*** I just discovered the issue. It was a recent insertion of CSS to achieve the parallax effect I was working on.
Glad you found the issue :)
