[Resolved] [Minor GPP bug] Back to Top button focus hover color

[George]

Hi there. I have noticed a minor issue with the Back to Top button hover color which is particularly obvious on one-page websites utilizing Smooth Scroll.

I have documented the issue on my GP Knowledge Base along with the solution but I was wondering if it could be improved on the next GPP release.

Hey George,

This has been fixed in GPP 1.11.0 – alpha is coming soon 🙂

Thanks!

[George]

Ah, amazing, thank you, Tom!

[Tom]

No problem! Sorry it took so long 🙂

[George]

Hi Tom, I have just updated to GPP 1.11.0, the issue doesn’t seem to be resolved, though.

[Tom]

Hey George,

Sorry for the confusion above! This fix is in the theme, not GPP. It’s fixed in GP 3.0.

[George]

Ok, I see. But after I have updated to latest GPP 1.11.1, it works as expected now! I wonder why…

[George]

Ok, I stand corrected, it doesn’t work. Strange, on one of my sites, I have introduced the generate_back_to_top_start_scroll filter:

add_filter( 'generate_back_to_top_start_scroll', 'tu_back_to_top_start_scroll' );
function tu_back_to_top_start_scroll() {
    return 2000; // 2000px from the top
}

It works fine with the filter activated.

[Tom]

That’s strange, it shouldn’t.. The link is simply in focus after you click it, which is why the color remains. In 3.0, the javascript unfocuses the button once the top is reached.

[George]

Hmm, stange. Check the URL here, my online agency.

Also checked in Incognito mode.

[Tom]

I’ll dig into it a bit – wonder if there’s something else on the page forcing focus to reset.

[George]

Probably, yeah. It doesn’t matter Tom, I don’t want to waist your time on this, better wait for 3.0, no problem.
