to top button suddenly invisible

Hi Dasigna,

The site is asking for credentials so we can view it. Can you share the credentials?

Please use the Private Information field for this: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-the-premium-support-forum/#private-information

Can you disable all plugins temporarily as well while we check?

uuups - sorry. forgot about it.
credentials added. thanks.

follow-up:

... tried again meanwhile - deaktivating ALL plugins changes nothing in regards of the totop-button.
same behaviour; being there but not showing up due to this nasty little inline css ...

Hi there,

if i check the DOMContentLoaded hook on that back to top button i can see several JS scripts that would affect it.
The only script that includes inlining those specific styles is the isotope.pkgd.min.js

Which is loaded by elementor-extras plugin:

../wp-content/plugins/elementor-extras/assets/lib/isotope/isotope.pkgd.min.js?ver=STAGING-3.0.4

hi david,

thanks for looking - but:
cant quite follow where you see this script firing the inline css for totop ... confused.

nevertheless, disabling ALL plugins the issue still persits. although theres only one script loaded:

wp-content/themes/generatepress/assets/js/back-to-top.min.js?ver=STAGING-3.2.4

nothing else.

same behaviour as before. so i dont think your approach leads to the issue sadly.

currently disabled everything, so you might have a look again by yourself?

thanks :)

Is there any page caching on the server ? If so can that be cleared ?

currently plain staging server... no caching, no minifying, no plugins - no nothing.

just plain wordpress, content and gp (even no pro...).

Any child theme ?

touché ...

your're by far smarter than i am :)

deactivated gp child - and this nasty little thing is there again.
must be this part of php for the custom totop-icon that caused the malfunction lately:

add_filter( 'generate_back_to_top_output', 'tu_custom_back_to_top_icon' );
function tu_custom_back_to_top_icon() {
    printf(
		'<a title="%1$s" rel="nofollow" href="#" class="generate-back-to-top" style="opacity:0;visibility:hidden;" data-scroll-speed="%2$s" data-start-scroll="%3$s">
			<img src="...wp-content/uploads/div/totop-arrow.svg" alt="Back to top" />
			<span class="screen-reader-text">%5$s</span>
		</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' ) ),
		__( 'Scroll back to top','generatepress' )
	);
}

so i assume we need a better piece of code for the custom icon ... :/

What was the original need for the tu_custom_back_to_top_icon function ?

... probably just leave out the 'style' part?

original need was just the custom svg-icon.

Ah ok, then yes, just delete: style="opacity:0;visibility:hidden;"

... just tested; works without the 'style' attributes.
must have had a reason they where there in the past, but better without now seemingly.

or any better suggestion from your side?

edit:
you already confirmed. bits traveling too slow from one end of the world to the other, sometimes ;/
