Smooth Page Scroll Up/Down Buttons

Description

Summary

The Smooth Page Scroll Up/Down Buttons plugin for WordPress adds buttons to every page of your site, that can be used to (smoothly) scroll up or down exactly one screen/page at a time. This can be particularly handy for pages with a lot of text/content, or in cases wherever a browser’s scrollbar is just not good enough (or not present at all, like on tablets) to enable one-click, one-screen scrolling.

BONUS BUTTON! Optionally, you can add a “Back to top” button, that will take the visitor right back to the very top of the page.

No knowledge of any coding (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP) is required at all.

Features

  • Button positioning: choose between three options of where you want the buttons to appear — next to eachother at the bottom right, on top of eachother at the bottom right, or one at the top right and the other at the bottom right.
  • Scrolling distance: scroll a full page with each click, half a page, or however far you want.
  • Button size: choose the size of the buttons.
  • Scrolling speed: set the speed at which pages should scroll from one page to another.
  • ‘Back to top’ button: optionally, include an additional button that takes the user back to the very top of the page.
  1. Upload the “smooth-page-scroll-updown-buttons” directory to your “wp-content/plugins” directory.
  2. In your WordPress admin, go to PLUGINS and activate “Smooth Page Scroll Up/Down Buttons”
  3. Go to SETTINGS – SMOOTH SCROLL PAGE UP/DOWN BUTTONS
  4. Choose the layout (where you want the buttons to appear) and the scroll speed

Is it possible to use different buttons/arrows?

Currently, the only thing you can change about the buttons, is their SIZE and POSITIONING (using any of the 4 layout templates). A future version may include more buttons, and/or the option to upload your own button graphics or point to your own uploaded images.

Is it possible to use another layout/positioning than the 4 options I get?

From my own experience, the four options you have are the most common ones that people use. If, however, there is another layout that you think could be useful, please let me know and I might add it in a future update.

It’s not working. What could be wrong?

As with every plugin, it’s possible that things don’t work. The most common reason for this is that the plugin has a conflict with another plugin you’re using. It’s impossible to tell what could be wrong exactly, but if you post a support request in the plugin’s support forum on WordPress.org, I’d be happy to give it a look and try to help out. Please include as much information as possible, including a link to your site where the problem can be seen.

I’ll need more help please!

For any other issues, please use the WordPress.org forum.

I spent literal days trying to find this kind of plugin and finally found this! Would be better with different up/down icons, but still 5 stars from me 😀

It Simply Works!

By Arthur Gager (ahg3rd) on January 8, 2020

Love a plugin that adds a little and simply works. Might add a feature to turn off for mobile as it always requires scroll. Otherwise, well done!

Excellent plugin!

By Edward Bedarev (edviser) on December 8, 2019

Excellent customizable plugin! The best among the others up/down buttons plugins. Works like a charm on desktop and mobile versions of site.

Works as advertised!

By nealumphred on November 10, 2019

Thanks for the nifty plugin! • Easy to understand. • Easy to set up. • Looks good. • Works as advertised. The ability to change the color of the buttons would be a nice addition to Smooth Scroll Page Up/Down Buttons. Keep on keepin' on!

Nice! Color support dev, please.

Works well! Options for size, 4 locations to display, and scroll speed and distance from the Setting panel. One of the few plugins that realizes there is both an up and a down on the page. Does a nice job of fading the "unhelpful" button when you get to the top or bottom. Development Request (for 5 stars): Instead of a background image for the button I would love to see CSS colors for background/button and color/font-arrow. Bonus points for arrow options from fontawesome or equivalent. For example if a burger company wanted a red button with a yellow arrow, it would be nice to update that in settings, or at least a css adjustment. Currently you have to edit the image and bring it back in without breaking the link.

Very handy with TwentySeventeen theme

The plugin works perfectly with PHP 7.2 and WordPress 5.1. It's very easy to change the location of the Buttons via the settings and you can easily change the .js file for more locations.
