How to close mobile menu when using Page scroll to id plugin
In order to auto-close an opened mobile menu when links that scroll the page are clicked, you’ll need to add some extra javascript in your page or theme template.
This issue is not a problem that comes from “Page scroll to id”, as the plugin has no control over the mobile menu a site is using. The same problem would happen even if you were using other similar plugins or no plugin at all (e.g. the page would “jump” but the mobile menu would still be opened). This issue comes from the fact that most mobile menu scripts do not auto-close the menu, when menu links are clicked, simply because most developers forget that a link might point to an anchor within the same page.
I try to support such issues in order to help users that use “Page scroll to id” plugin, deal with the problem quickly. I typically provide a jQuery/js script that users need to add to their page. Each script is different for each site and created specifically for a single mobile menu.
I can do this simply because I know javascript and I can find quickly how other scripts (like mobile menu script) work. I provide the script(s) for free, but if I help you and you can make a donation, I’d greatly appreciate it 🙂
Where to put the extra script
If your theme provides a field to add javascript code in your theme, you can place the code there. Otherwise, you can simply add the script in your theme/child-theme footer.php template, right before the closing body tag (</body>).
How to request such script
Please leave a comment with the URL of your site/page you need help with and I’ll try to provide the script as quickly as possible.
A typical script looks like this:
<script>
(function($){
$(window).on("load",function(){
$(document).on("click","#mobile-menu-selector .menu-item ._mPS2id-h",function(){
$("#mobile-menu-close-btn-selector").trigger("click");
});
});
})(jQuery);
</script>
If you’re using “Responsive Menu” plugin (by ExpressTech), you can use this code provided by one of our users.
Can I get support if I don’t use “Page scroll to id” in my site?

Hi, After searching for half a day, I stumbled on this page. First of all, brilliant plugin!
But like many others the mobile hamburger menu does not dissappear after clicking on a …#link
Would appreciate if you can help me out!
Cheers, Eddie
Hi,
Try this script:
<script> (function($){ $(window).on("load",function(){ $(document).on("click","#prk_menu_els .menu-item .__mPS2id",function(){ $("#prk_menu_left_trigger").trigger("click"); }); }); })(jQuery); </script>Thank you for your comments 🙂
Thanks so much. I did have to look trough previous posts where to put this. I have a Javascript option provided in the template which did not work. So I read is should be in footer.php and then it worked like expected!
Cheers!
You’re welcome 🙂
Hi there, it’s so awesome that you’re helping everyone out. I have tried myself but with my limited Javascript knowledge I just can’t come right.
