smooth scroll // how to

[Sebastien]

Hi,

Smooth Scroll doesn’t work into my website.. =/
I’ve writen some anchors along my front page. Then I’ve writen some link to point to these anchor:
<a class="smooth-scroll" href="#application">My Section</a>

When I click into the link, it links me to the right anchor #application, but there is no any smooth scroll effect =/
I’ve also add:

add_filter( 'generate_smooth_scroll_duration', 'tu_smooth_scroll_duration' );
function tu_smooth_scroll_duration() {
    return 800; // milliseconds
}

but that doesn’t work.. Any idea?
thanks

Hi there,

have you activated the smooth scroll option in Customizer > General ?

Yes I have already activated this option

Clicking the Section link is working for me. Maybe try clearing the browser cache.

Working fine for me on all browsers – any browser extensions that could be conflicting ?

Hello. Related to the smooth scroll behaviour:
– If I apply smooth scroll to regular links (https://docs.generatepress.com/article/smooth-scroll/#regular-links), all is good to go, it works as expected, but…
– I tried to apply the smooth-scroll class to a headine on GenerateBlocks. The behaviour changes and the anchor link sends me under the Element ID. Is it a trick here?
I made a short VIDEO HERE to explain better.
Thank you for your support.
Marcel

Ah, the custom class option in GenerateBlocks adds the class to the headline element, not the anchor.

Try adding this filter:

add_filter( 'generate_smooth_scroll_elements', function( $elements ) {
    $elements[] = '.gb-headline.smooth-scroll a';

    return $elements;
} );

Let me know 🙂
