Page scroll to id for WordPress

Page scroll to id is a fully featured WordPress plugin for creating links that scroll the page smoothly to any id within the document. The plugin replaces browser’s “jumping” behavior with a smooth scrolling animation, when links with href value containing # are clicked.
It provides all the basic tools and advanced functionality for single-page websites, in-page navigation, back-to-top links etc. with features like: adjustable scrolling animation duration and easing, link and target highlighting via ready-to-use CSS classes, vertical and/or horizontal scrolling, scrolling from/to different pages etc.

Get started

The plugin works by “connecting” links with href/URL in the form of #my-id or http://my-site.com/page/#my-id to sections/elements within the document with an equivalent id attribute value (e.g. <div id="my-id">...</div>). Clicking such links will scroll the page smoothly to their target id position.

Get started by creating or setting-up your links. The plugin is enabled by default on WordPress Menu links (created in Appearance → Menus), so you can start adding custom links and set their URL to the id/target you want to scroll to (e.g. #my-id, /page/#my-id, http://my-site.com/page/#my-id etc.).
You can use id values that already exist in your theme or you can create your own id targets using plugin’s “Insert Page scroll to id target” button in wp post visual editor or the [ps2id] shortcode (e.g. [ps2id id='my-id'/]).

To create links within your content, use plugin’s “Insert/edit Page scroll to id link” button and/or shortcode (e.g. [ps2id url='#my-id']link text[/ps2id]) in wp post visual/text editor.
To enable the plugin on existing links, add the ps2id class or the m_PageScroll2id rel attribute to them, making sure the link’s href/URL value contains a hash (#) with the id of the section you want to scroll-to. In addition, you can simply add your links CSS selector (e.g. .menu-item a, a[href*='#']:not([href='#']) etc.) in “Selector(s)” field in plugin settings.

To highlight your links (or targets), use the classes provided by the plugin in your theme’s stylesheet or custom CSS. The default highlight class is mPS2id-highlight but you can set your own in the “Classes & highlight options”. For example, to style the highlighted link (the link whose target element is considered to be within the viewport), you could add in your CSS:

a.mPS2id-highlight{ 
    background: #ff0; 
}

or

.menu-item a.mPS2id-highlight{ 
    background: #ff0; 
}

for highlighting custom menus links only.

If you have a fixed-positioned/sticky menu which overlaps your target’s content when page scrolling is completed, insert your menu CSS selector or a fixed pixel value in the “Offset” field. For example, inserting #navigation-menu will offset the scroll-to position according to the height/width/position of the element with id navigation-menu. In the same manner, setting the “Offset” value to 100 will offset page scrolling by 100 pixels.

Plugin settings

Selector(s)

Use the Selector(s) field when you need to instruct the plugin to handle specific links. The value(s) should be anchor tags (a, i.e. links) in the form of strings that represent ways of choosing elements in the DOM (i.e. CSS selectors).
Each selector is separated by comma, so multiple selectors can be defined as: selector1, selector2, selector3 etc.

The default selector value is a[href*='#']:not([href='#']), meaning the plugin handles all links that have a valid hash value (e.g. #id) in their URL.
The default selector value prior to version 1.6.3 of “Page scroll to id” is a[rel='m_PageScroll2id'], meaning the plugin handles by default all anchor elements (a) with m_PageScroll2id rel attribute value.

Other selector examples could be: a[href*='#'] (links that contain # in their href/URL attribute), a[href='#my-id'] (links with href attribute value: #my-id), a.className (links with class: className).

To enable the plugin on any link that has a hash (#) in its URL, insert a[href*='#']:not([href='#']) as a single selector.

Other default selectors which the plugin is applied automatically include the class ps2id (actual selectors: .ps2id > a[href*='#'] and a.ps2id[href*='#']). This means that any link with a hash in its URL/href (e.g. #my-id) which has the class or is contained (direct children) within an element with the class ps2id will be handled by the plugin automatically.

To exclude specific links from being handled by the plugin (e.g. special tabs, accordions, toggles etc.), use the selectors are excluded field by adding the element selector(s) you want (separated by comma). The default excluded selectors value is set to: a[href^='#tab-'], a[href^='#tabs-'], a[data-toggle]:not([data-toggle='tooltip']), a[data-slide], a[data-vc-tabs], a[data-vc-accordion], a.screen-reader-text.skip-link which excludes most links that are used for toggling elements, tabs, accordions etc.

You can add your owns electors to exclude by separating each one with comma (,), for example:
a[href^='#tab-'], a[data-toggle], a.some-class, .tabs a

The option “Enable on WordPress Menu links” (enabled by default) enables the plugin automatically on custom links created in WordPress Menus.

Scroll duration

Scroll animation duration (i.e. scrolling speed) in milliseconds (1000 milliseconds equal 1 second). Lower values equal faster scrolling.

“Auto-adjust scrolling duration” option (enabled by default) lets the plugin fine-tune scrolling duration/speed according to target and page scroll position. This normalizes the animation duration in order to avoid short-distance scrolling taking too long (e.g. a page scroll of just 100 pixels will last shorter than the value specified in “Scroll duration”).

Scroll type/easing

Scroll animation easing type (i.e. the way the animation progresses at different points within its duration).
You can set different easing types according to page scrolling state: one that is applied when the page is idle (no scrolling currently running) and another that applies while page is scrolling (when a link is clicked while the page is animated/scrolling).
Enable “Force scroll type/easing” option when there’s conflict with outdated easing libraries added by themes or other plugins.

Scroll duration and easing demo

Scroll behavior

Always scroll smoothly when reaching the end of the page/document option adjusts scroll-to position so it does not exceed document length. For example, when scrolling to a target element that is at the bottom of the page, the scrolling animation stops smoothly at bottom of the page instead of “breaking” at an earlier point.
Enable Stop page scrolling on mouse-wheel or touch-swipe option if you want to stop page scrolling when the user tries to scroll the page manually (e.g. via mouse-wheel or touch-swipe).
Enabling Verify target position and readjust scrolling (if necessary), after scrolling animation is complete option, will auto-correct scrolling if the target’s position was changed while the page was scrolling. This event will fire one time only after scrolling animation is complete. This option is useful when document’s length changes according to scroll (for example when a menu becomes sticky after scrolling down the page and its previous state space gets zero).
Enable “Extend target position verification and scrolling adjustment for lazy-load scripts (images, iframes etc.) and changes in document’s length” when dealing with lazy-loaded images and iframes, changes in document’s length etc.

Page layout

Set page scrolling direction (i.e. restrict scrolling) to top-bottom (vertical) or left-right (horizontal) accordingly. For both vertical and horizontal scrolling select auto.
This option does not transform your theme’s templates layout (i.e. it won’t change your theme/page design from vertical to horizontal).

Offset

Offset scroll-to position by x amount of pixels or by selector. The offset value can a be a positive or negative number (indicating pixels), or a matching set of elements in your html (selector). For example, setting the value to 50 will stop page scrolling 50 pixels before reaching the target.
If you need to offset scrolling according to the height (or width) of some element (e.g. according to a responsive/sticky navigation menu), insert the element’s selector in the Offset field. For example, if you have a top fixed/sticky menu with id navigation-menu, set the offset value to #navigation-menu in order to stop page scrolling below it and avoid the menu overlapping your content.

To set different vertical and horizontal offsets (e.g. when Layout is set to auto), add comma separated values in Offset field, e.g. 100,50 (vertical offset 100 pixels, horizontal offset 50 pixels).

The plugin offers selector expressions in order to define more advanced offset values. Examples:

  • :fixed and :sticky expressions – Offset by element with id “some-id” and CSS position fixed or sticky: #some-id:fixed or #some-id:sticky
    Assuming vertical layout, the value above will offset scrolling according to the height of #some-id element (i.e. the element that has id some-id), but only when this element CSS position is fixed or sticky (i.e. when element is sticks to the viewport when scrolling the page). This is useful when for example you have a navigation menu that is sticky/fixed only above a specific viewport size (e.g. only on desktop).
  • :height() expression – Offset by element with class “some-class” and height equal to 100 pixels: .some-class:height(100)
    The value above will offset scrolling according to the height (on vertical layout) of .some-class element (i.e. the element that has class some-class), but only when this element height is exactly 100 pixels.
  • :width() expression – Offset by element with id “some-id” and width greater than 800 pixels: #some-id:width(>800)
    The value above will offset scrolling according to the height of #some-id element, but only when this element width is greater than 800 pixels. This is useful when having responsive navigation menus. For instance, you might have a responsive top sticky menu that switches to a “hamburger” menu when viewport is 800 pixels wide or less. Assuming the menu is as wide as the page/viewport, you’d only want to apply its height as offset when its width is greater than 800 pixels (i.e. when it’s not “hamburger” menu). Adding: #your-menu-id:width(>800) as the offset value will do exactly that.
  • Multiple expressions – Offset by element with id “some-id”, CSS position fixed and height between 50 and 100 pixels: #some-id:fixed:height(>50):height(<100)
    The value above will offset scrolling according to the height of #some-id element, but only when this element CSS position is fixed and its height is anywhere between 51 and 99 pixels.

The plugin can generate automatically a hidden element that can be used as the offset selector. If you enable Auto-generate #ps2id-dummy-offset element option, you can use the #ps2id-dummy-offset as the “Offset” option value and then in your CSS by giving it a height equal to the amount of offset you want.

For example, say you want to have an offset of 100 pixels on desktop and 50 pixels on smaller screens (i.e. mobile). You should enable the Auto-generate #ps2id-dummy-offset element option, set the value #ps2id-dummy-offset in the “Offset” option field and add the following to your CSS:

#ps2id-dummy-offset{
  height: 50px;
}
@media only screen and (min-width: 768px){
  #ps2id-dummy-offset{
    height: 100px;
  }
}

Highlight selector(s)

The matching set of elements (i.e. selectors) handled by the plugin, that will be eligible for highlighting. The value(s) should be anchor tags (a, i.e. links).

The plugin highlights by default all the links it handles. Using this field, you can specify which links should be highlighted and exclude the rest.
For example, assuming you have various links that scroll the page (e.g. menu links, back-to-top etc.) and you want only the menu links to get highlighted, you could insert:
.menu-item a[href*='#']

Classes & highlight options

The plugin adds special classes to the links and the target elements it handles when the following happen:

  • When a link is clicked, it gets the mPS2id-clicked class.
    You can change this class name to your own and you can use it in your CSS to style the clicked link. For instance:
    .mPS2id-clicked{ 
        background: #ff0; 
    }
    
  • When a link’s target element is within the viewport (i.e. visible on the screen), the link gets the mPS2id-highlight class and the target element gets the mPS2id-target class.
    You can change these class names to your own and you can use them in your CSS to style the highlighted link and target. For instance:
    .mPS2id-target{ 
        background: #ff0; 
    }
    
    .mPS2id-highlight{ 
        background: #ff0; 
    }
    

In addition, the plugin will add the above highlight classes with the -first and -last suffix (e.g. mPS2id-highlight-first, mPS2id-highlight-last) in order to differentiate multiple highlighted elements. This is useful when you need to style only the first or last of the highlighted links or targets in your CSS.
For example, if multiple links are highlighted at the same time, instead of using .mPS2id-highlight in your stylesheet, you could do:

.mPS2id-highlight-first{ 
    background: #ff0; 
}

An alternative way of restricting highlight to a single link/target and prevent multiple elements from being highlighted at the same time, is to enable Allow only one highlighted element at a time.

There are times when you need to keep at least one element (e.g. a menu link) always highlighted. Enable Keep the current element highlighted until the next one comes into view option if you need such functionality/behavior and your template/page is laid out in a way that at certain scrolling points there are no target sections visible on the screen (no links highlighted).

Enable Highlight by next target option when your target elements have zero height/width to improve highlighting behavior. This option is useful when you add id targets in your content via plugin’s buttons or the [ps2id id='some-id'/] shortcode, as it extends the scrolling range at which an element stays highlighted.

Disable plugin below

Set the viewport/screen-size in pixels, below which the plugin will be disabled. The value can be width or width,height.
For example, insert 1024 to disable plugin’s functionality when the viewport/window width is 1024 pixels or less. Insert 1024,600 to disable plugin when viewport width is 1024 pixels or less and viewport height is 600 pixels or less.
Please note that the values entered will match CSS media queries.

Leaving the field value empty or 0 (default) disables the option.

Administration

Check Display widgets id attribute in order to show the id attribute of each widget in Appearance → Widgets. This is a convenient way of finding existing id values in order to use them as links targets.
You can also create your own id targets in widgets via the “Page scroll to id target” widget.

Enable insert link/target buttons in post visual editor activates plugin’s buttons in WordPress visual editor toolbar. You can use these buttons to insert links and id targets in your content.

Advanced options

If another plugin or a theme script handles page scrolling and conflicts with “Page scroll to id”, try enabling Prevent other scripts from handling plugin’s links option. This option attempts to remove (on-the-fly) javascript click events by other scripts from the links. Please note that this might not work on some themes or plugins, as it depends on the way those scripts are attaching the link events.
You may set a specific selector for the option above using the Prevent other scripts from handling plugin’s links selector(s) field (it’s recommended to set a specific selector when using the “Prevent other scripts from handling plugin’s links” option).

Enable Normalize anchor-point targets to normalize/reset the CSS properties (height, line-height, border etc.) of anchor-point targets.

Enable Encode unicode characters on links URL when having links with encoded unicode characters (e.g. on internationalized domain names) in their href/URL (for proper highlighting of links).

wp-config options

define('PS2ID_MINIFIED_JS', false);
Use the PS2ID_MINIFIED_JS constant (permanent global variable) in wp-config.php to select which script files will be loaded on the front-end by the plugin. Adding the above in wp-config.php instructs the plugin to load the non-minified/development version of its scripts.

Plugin shortcodes

Plugin’s [ps2id] shortcode can be inserted directly in WordPress post editor (as with any WordPress shortcode) in order to create links and id targets in your content.

[ps2id url='#some-id']link text[/ps2id]

Attributes

  • url (required) – Link URL
    Examples:
    [ps2id url='#some-id']link text[/ps2id]
    [ps2id url='http://some-site.com/page/#some-id']link text[/ps2id]
    [ps2id url='/page/#some-id']link text[/ps2id]
    
  • offset (optional) – Link-specific offset (bypasses the general offset value in plugin settings)
    Examples:
    Offset scrolling by 100 pixels
    [ps2id url='#some-id' offset='100']link text[/ps2id]
    
    Offset scrolling by the height (or width for horizontal layout) of the element with id navigation-menu
    [ps2id url='#some-id' offset='#navigation-menu']link text[/ps2id]
    
    Offset vertical scrolling by 100 pixels and horizontal scrolling by 50 pixels
    [ps2id url='#some-id' offset='{"y":"100","x":"50"}']link text[/ps2id]
    
  • class (optional) – Link custom class(es)
    You can give the link one or more custom classes (separate multiple classes with space).
    Examples:
    [ps2id url='#some-id' class='class-a']link text[/ps2id]
    [ps2id url='#some-id' class='class-a class-b']link text[/ps2id]
    

    You can change the scroll duration/speed of the link (bypass the general scroll duration value in plugin settings) by adding a special class in the form of ps2id-speed-VALUE (i.e. ps2id-speed-600) with VALUE indicating the scroll duration in milliseconds (lower duration equals faster scrolling).
    Examples:

    [ps2id url='#some-id' class='ps2id-speed-400']link text[/ps2id]
    [ps2id url='#some-id' class='ps2id-speed-1300 class-a class-b']link text[/ps2id]
    
  • aria-label (optional) – Link aria-label attribute
    Examples:
    [ps2id url='#some-id' aria_label='Some text here']link text[/ps2id]
    

Target id shortcode

There are 2 target shortcodes:

1. Anchor-point target

[ps2id id='some-id'/]

2. Wrapper target

[ps2id_wrap id='some-id']
your content...
[/ps2id_wrap]

You can use the wrapper target ([ps2id_wrap]) when you need to wrap content in a target id (same as adding an id attribute to some content). Doing this gives you better control over the highlighting of associated links.
In addition, wrapper target allows you to include other shortcodes within its content, e.g.

[ps2id_wrap id='some-id']
content... [ps2id url='#another-id']link text[/ps2id] 
more content...
[ps2id id='another-id'/]
content... 
[/ps2id_wrap]

Attributes

  • id (required) – Target id
    Examples:
    [ps2id id='some-id'/]
    [ps2id_wrap id='some-id'] your content... [/ps2id_wrap]
    
  • target (optional) – The element that’ll be considered as the actual target for highlighting
    This can be useful when you need better highlighting for target elements that have zero dimensions.
    Examples:
    The associated link will scroll to #some-id element but will be highlighted as if its target is the next adjacent div (the div immediately following #some-id element)
    [ps2id id='some-id' target='#some-id + div'/]
    
    The associated link will scroll to #some-id element but will be highlighted according to #another-id element
    [ps2id id='some-id' target='#another-id'/]

    On my homepage, ALl the anchor links are highlighted all the time no matter where the page is scrolled. What am I doing wrong? I have each menu item set to the PS2id css class, but they stay highlighted all the time?

      The links highlighting you see, happens by your theme (not the plugin). It’s common for themes to highlight same-page links and that’s what happens in your case.

      You need to do the following:

      1.Change your links URL to use https.
      Right now, your links URL start with http and your web server redirects them to the SSL version of your site.

      2.Go to plugin settings and disable “Keep the current element highlighted until the next one comes into view” and “Highlight by next target” options. Click save changes.

      3.Overwrite your theme’s highlighting by adding the following to your CSS:

      #top-menu li.current-menu-item > a._mPS2id-h, .et-fixed-header #top-menu li.current-menu-ancestor > a._mPS2id-h, .et-fixed-header #top-menu li.current-menu-item > a._mPS2id-h { color: #fff !important; } #top-menu li.current-menu-item > a._mPS2id-h.mPS2id-highlight, .et-fixed-header #top-menu li.current-menu-ancestor > a._mPS2id-h.mPS2id-highlight, .et-fixed-header #top-menu li.current-menu-item > a._mPS2id-h.mPS2id-highlight { color: #2fe0e0 !important; }

      This will also enable highlighting while page scrolling.

      Hope this helps

          If there’s such URL in the address bar (like the one in your link), then page scrolling will break (the page will reload) no matter which plugin is used or if smooth scrolling is used or not (it’ll break even if no smooth scrolling or plugins are used at all).

          You can test this by temporarily disable “Page scroll to id” and see that the same problem occurs. This happens because the link’s URL becomes completely different than the one in browser’s address bar, so the page reloads when you click the links.

          The only solution is create a custom js script that will change the links URL from full to relative, if it detects that the address bar contains such Facebook parameters (and if it’s on homepage).

          This isn’t very complicated but it requires development, so if you want me to do it and give you a quote, please contact me here. I’d be happy to help.

            I get the following when trying to use the contact page, fyi:

            Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact the administrator by another method.

            Anyway, i would def be interested in getting a quote from you, but I have ALSO noticed that if you type in the full “www.wellingtonchasenc.com” it doesn’t work either. So, I don’t think the fbclid is the problem so much as the “www.” that has to be in the fb link to make it clickable. This should work, no?

          I guess the contact form malfunction was temporary because it seems to be working now. You can also find my email address (manos-at-malihu.gr.) below the contact form, so you can message me directly.

          Typing www.wellingtonchasenc.com doesn’t work because of the same reason. Your links do not match the address bar URL (your links do not have the www part). This is because:

          https://www.wellingtonchasenc.com

          and

          https://wellingtonchasenc.com

          are not the same URL (so the page reloads).

          Again, this happens regardless of using smooth scrolling or not. This is the way browsers and web servers work.

          To avoid this, you should either redirect www or change your menu links to use root-relative URL (instead of full URL). For example, change your “Latest News” link URL from:

          https://wellingtonchasenc.com/#latestnews

          to:

          /#latestnews

          Anyway, send me an email 🙂

    hH there,

    I’m having trouble linking between pages. Scroll to anchor is working fine on the home page. However, when I try and click the menu link from another page the browser seems to remove the #sizes2 link, so it jumps to the page but does not then scroll. I’m sure this is something I am doing wrong, so any help much appreciated.

    PS such a great plug in though, thanks for the work.

      Hello,

      Your logo link has the following href/URL value:

      #!/up

      This value creates the problem.

      I don’t know why they’ve set it in such way but you can bypass it by unchecking “Enable different pages scrolling on all links” option in plugin settings.

      Uncheck this option, save changes, test your page and let me know.

          I just saw that “Page scroll to id” is not used in your site. Is it activated? Your links scroll the page via some other mechanism which uses URLs starting with #!/, like #!/colours

          In order to use “Page scroll to id” you’d need to change your links URL from #!/colours to the standard #colours type.

          EDIT: You’d also need to add the following at the end of excluded selectors field:

          , a[href*='#!/']

    I’m trying to change the autogenerated widget id in my blogs sidebar.
    Page scroll to id target: custom_html-4

    Page scroll to id target: newsletter
    I know I can wrap the widget’s title, but was wondering if there was a simple way of updating the autogenerated page scroll id for widget items?

    I really like this plug-in for wordpress and have received positive feedback for how it works. One problem I’m having though, is after WordPress released their new version, whenever I try to create/modify a page/post using Divi, the editor goes out into its waiting mode with the rotating circles. I deactivated all the plugs-in and then reactivated them one by one, and unfortunately “page scroll to id” was the culprit. For now, I deactivate the plug-in when I need to make changes, then reactivate when I’m done, but do you have any other suggestions or helps that could work around that issue? It did just start with this new version of WordPress. Also, I did try the “Prevent other scripts. . .” to see if that would help, and it didn’t. Thanks again for the great plug-in.

      Hello and thanks for the feedback.

      Have you set a value on the “Highlight selector(s)” option in plugin settings? Can you set it to:

      .menu-item a

      save changes and test the divi builder?

        I had but it didn’t make a difference. However, I just got your updated version, and in the settings area, there was a comment on the selector(s) that I had an old value. I updated to the new value, and now it works perfectly! Thanks!

        You need to add the CSS rules you want for the mPS2id-highlight class. Add the following to your CSS (e.g. in customize > additional css):

        .main-navigation ul li a.mPS2id-highlight { background-color: #55b74e; color: #ffffff; }

            There are multiple ways to make highlight work better.

            One way is to enable “Keep the current element highlighted until the next one comes into view” in plugin settings.

            Another way is to remove the “Page scroll to id target” block and instead wrap your content into group blocks like this:

            group paragraph paragraph ... group

            and add the target id on the group block like shown here:

      Hi,

      1)The toolbar buttons are for the classic /old post visual editor (before wordpress version 5). You probably use the new block editor (Gutenberg editor). See how to use the plugin with the current wordpress block editor here:

      http://manos.malihu.gr/page-scroll-to-id-for-wordpress-tutorial/#targets-section-gutenberg

      2)I get a lot of javascript console errors in your page. Try to disable auto-optimize plugin/feature and see if it fixes the issue.

    I am using on one-page site, I am using the new citadela theme from AIT themes club. Now when I press any section it first shows me top of the page and then going down.

    If I am in the middle section and i want to scroll below from where I am, it always first starts from the top of the page instead of going directly to the new section below.

    Hello,

    hoping you can help me with the scroll to id plugin on wordpress. I’m using Elementor builder with Astra theme. It works for the first id link, but none of the subsequent ones. Sometimes it moves but not to the right place (or even close). I’ve tried going through your help tips, but can’t seem to figure it out. I’ve tried adding the id in the CSS id, as well as using the anchor drag and drops but neither are working properly. Please help!!

      Hi,

      The issues you’re having is because your root html element has its scrollbar hidden via CSS.

      You simply need to revert this by adding the following to your CSS:

      html{ overflow-x: initial; } body{ overflow-x: hidden; }

    Hello,
    This plugin is great. Thank you so much.

    I am using Bridge and have managed to put in the code to make the mobile menu clear. The navigatio works perfectly on desktop but for some reason when it’s jumping from another page to a point on the home page it’s no longer scrolling down. So if you click onto ‘Technical Information’ which is the only stand alone page and then back to ‘about’ the scrolling has stopped working only on mobile. Do you know why this might be?

    This is the script I put in the footer to clear the mobile overlay but maybe there is still an error in it:

    (function($){
    $(window).on(“load”,function(){
    $(document).on(“click”,”#main-menu .menu-item ._mPS2id-h”,function(){
    $(“button.mfp-close”).trigger(“click”);
    });
    });
    })(jQuery);

      Hello,

      The script is correct 😉

      Try to give a delay for the page load scrolling. Go to plugin settings and insert 500 to the delay for scrolling to target on page load field.

      Save changes and test your page.

      If it doesn’t work, try few higher values like 1000 or 2000.

      Hi,

      This is not something that can be done automatically or via some plugin option.

      You’d need to develop a custom js script that utilizes plugin’s scrollTo method. In other words, you’d need to hire a web developer to create such functionality, which would be specific for your site.

      Hope this helps

    Hello

    I implemented your plugin and it works fine. It’s just that the scrolling doesn’t always go super smoothly, especially on longer stretches it . I already played with the settings and did also reset them, but the problem keeps being there.

    If you would have to have a look, that would be great. Maybe it’s something small.

      Hello,

      Scrolling performance can be affected from a lot of things like amount of same-page links, CSS styling (e.g. css box-shadow), other scripts etc. as well as browser engine, OS, device etc.

      Try the following and see if it makes things better:

      Since you don’t use plugin’s highlight feature, go to plugin settings and set the following value to “Highlight selector(s)”:

      .nothing

      Also, you can try enabling “Prevent other scripts from handling plugin’s links” option.

    When scrolling to the target, the .mPS2id-highlight class is not forced to a link! As a result, only when you click on the link, it can change its appearance. If you simply scroll through the content, the link does not change the appearance. In this case, the .mPS2id-target class works fine.

        When the scroller is enabled the comments load very very slowly or simply hang up, and the scroller itself becomes jerky and a bit irrational.

        We were surprised about this too, as we didn’t anticipate anything like this from such a relatively simple plugin – but we’ve tested it repeatedly, and whenever we disable scroller the comments load fine, as soon as it’s enabled – bam, everything goes pear shaped again.

        We do get quite a lot of comments.

        Note – this only started happening since WPDiscuz newest iteration was installed. It was fine with earlier versions.

          OK thanks for the info.

          This sounds like there are a lot of link-target relations (from WPDiscuz) that get eligible for highlighting by “Page scroll to id”.

          I just checked a random page in your site and there’s something like 200 link-targets from WPDiscuz (links like <a href="#comment-185873"> with targets).

          “Page scroll to id” by default will try to highlighting all these links! That’s why the page hangs.

          When you activate the plugin, go to “Page scroll to id” settings and set a specific selector value in “Highlight selector(s)” option, for example:

          .menu-item a[href*='#']

          to have only menu links highlighted or something like

          .nothing

          if you don’t use plugin’s highlight feature.

          So, set a “Highlight selector(s)” value, save changes and test you page.

          You could also just exclude the links-targets that are in WPDiscuz section by adding the following value at the end of “selectors are excluded” field in plugin settings (just copy/paste the line below, including the comma at the start)

          , #wpdcom a

          Again, save changes and test your page(s).

            I have tried the exclude option and setting a specific selector value.

            It definitely seems smoother and faster at the moment. Still a bit juddery when the link from top menu to comments section is clicked but so far it’s now functioning while before it wasn’t

      Hello,

      It seems that your theme handles all menu links with a URL in the form of #id.

      The theme script that does this prevents “Page scroll to id” (or similar plugins) from doing its thing, as it hijacks all menu links clicks.

      For reference, the script that does this is this one:
      ...themes/bridge/js/default.min.js

      Fortunately, the theme script does this only on links that have a URL that starts with a hash (#) or with your site’s URL, so the quick and easy solution is to make your menu links URL absolute-relative.

      For example, change your “About” link URL from:

      #about

      to:

      /#about

      and smooth scrolling, offset etc. will work.

      Do the same for the rest of your links.

      Let me know

            This happens because your site is lazy-loading the images.

            Lazy-loading images will affect page scrolling, no matter which plugin you’re using. In fact, you,’ll have the same issue even if you don’t use any smooth scrolling plugin. You can test this by temporarily deactivating “Page scroll to I’d” and testing your links (the page will jump to the wrong place at first).

            You need to disable lazy-loading your images or add a correct/fiixed height on the images placeholder.

    Also if I go directly to the link ( in google bar) http://bamp.elearningspecialenglish.com/#testimonials ( this is the archor for Como aplico al programa) I don´t see the title.

      Hello,

      The plugin does not add any dotted borders or any other styling on links, unless you manually add a CSS styling.

      I think that the dotted border you’re referring is applied by your theme’s CSS and it’s either an indicator of the current page or maybe the link’s outline on focus.

      I can’t really say what exactly happens or provide a CSS solution for this as I’d need to see your page. Can you post your site’s URL?

      Perhaps adding the following to your CSS can help(?)

      a, a:focus, a:active{ outline: 0 !important; }

          Indeed it went to spam!

          I just checked your page and you just need to set a specific highlight selector.

          Go to plugin settings and set the “Highlight selector(s)” option to:

          .menu-item a

          Save changes and test your page.

          Let me know

          Did you changed other options?

          Go to plugin settings and disable “Allow only one highlighted element at a time” and “Highlight by next target” options.

          Save changes and let me know

          Ok, the issue seems to come from the UTF-8 URL encoding.

          Can you change your links URL to the actual Russian characters? For example, change “Почему ЭНД?” link URL from:

          http://visitechtest.ru.xsph.ru/%d1%86%d0%b8%d1%84%d1%80%d0%be%d0%b2%d0%be%d0%b9-%d0%bd%d0%b0%d1%80%d1%8f%d0%b4-%d0%b4%d0%be%d0%bf%d1%83%d1%81%d0%ba-new/#section-2

            Another problem arose. If you click on the link, then when scrolling the active class remains of the previously clicked link, even though the transition to another section has occurred. The active class only changes if you click on the following link. Although if you just scroll, without clicking, the active class changes normally.

          Posted on June 17, 2020 at 14:00 Permalink

          The mPS2id-clicked class is applied on the clicked elements. That’s why it’s not removed when scrolling.

          You should use the mPS2id-highlight class in your CSS to style your links while scrolling and changing sections.

          See more info about the classes in the “Classes & highlight options” section above

      Hello,

      Your links URL is not correct. There’s no willkommen page in your site, so you need to remove it from your links URL.

      Also some of your links have a double slash that should be removed.

      For example, change your “Über uns” link URL from:

      /willkommen//#about

      to:

      /#about

      The plugin does not reload the page unless the link URL does not match the actual page URL. If the page reloads, your link’s URL is not correct (make sure your not missing www, https etc.).

      Please post your site URL so I can check what the issue is and help.

    Hello, thank you very much for your nice plugin scroll2id which in theory is exactly what I need.
    I want the users to see the BuddyPress header image and title for a few seconds, and then the page would scroll very smoothly to the menu (#object-nav), so that they won’t be frustrated.
    Currently the smooth effect does not work.
    I tried various ways during a lot of time…
    You can see that here : https://autistance.org/groups/dep-cris_covid-19/#object-nav

    I have put a “body onload” in header.php, because it’s the only trick that I found. I don’t know anything in PHP.

    <meta charset=&quot;"> <body onload=&#039; location.href=&quot;#object-nav&quot; &#039; > <a href="#content" rel="nofollow"></a>

    I’m sorry but I could not do “better” and in fact I tried (sometimes) during months…

    Thanks a lot if you can tell me how to solve this. I can put PHP “snippets”.

    Thank you.

      Hi,

      You should remove the onload attribute on the body element.

      You should also change all your links with empty URL from:

      http://#

      to:

      #

      otherwise you get invalid errors and the links go to empty pages.

      Do you want the scrolling to #object-nav happen when you go to /dep-cris_covid-19/#object-nav or when you go to /dep-cris_covid-19/

      For the first case, you need to go to plugin settings and set the “delay for scrolling to target on page load” option field to something like:

      2000

      which is 2 seconds.

      For the second case, you’ll need to use plugin’s scrollTo method in your script:

      $.mPageScroll2id("","#object-nav");

      for example, adding the script below will smoothly scroll the page to #object-nav after 2 seconds after the page is fully loaded:

      <script> (function($){ $(window).on("load",function(){ setTimeout(function(){ $.mPageScroll2id("","#object-nav"); },2000); }); })(jQuery); </script>

      The script above should be placed in your theme/child-theme footer.php just before the closing body tag (</body>).

      Hope this helps

    Hi, your plugin works perfectly normally, however when I have a URL with a query appended (eg. to show the customer source, like sellyourjewels.com/?source=facebook) the plugin ceases to function. Is there a way around this?

        Hi, sorry for the delay in replying – the scrolling effect that shows with a URL query (like sellyourjewels.com/?source=facebook) is built-in to the wordpress theme I use, but this does not have the smooth easeInOutQuint effect that is present with a normal URL like sellyourjewels.com. Is there a way to ensure the scrolling effect is always your smooth one and not the standard plugin one? Hope that makes more sense.

          I don’t see any scrolling effect when I type https://www.sellyourjewels.com/?source=facebook in the browser. Do you see one?

          In any case, when there’s no hash (#something) in the URL, the plugin cannot scroll automatically (i.e. there’s no target to scroll to!).

          To scroll on page load programmatically, you’d need to develop a custom script to use plugin’s scrollTo method.

            Sorry, I didn’t explain myself very well. When navigating to my website with a URL query (eg. https://www.sellyourjewels.com/?source=facebook) and then clicking on the menu items at the top (eg, ‘How does it work?’), the scrolling effect is provided by the WordPress theme and not your plugin.

        • malihu

          I see. This happens because of the full URL in the links not matching the actual URL in the address bar when ?source=facebook is present.

          Does the ?source=facebook part occur only on the homepage? Can you add a small js script in your child theme template?

          OK. Do this:

          Edit your theme’s/child-theme’s footer.php template and add the following script before the closing body tag:

          <script> (function($){ $(document).ready(function(){ var loc=window.location.href; if($("body.home").length && loc.indexOf("?source=facebook") !== -1){ $("a[data-ps2id-api]").each(function(){ var $this=$(this), href=$this.attr("href"); if(href.indexOf("https://www.sellyourjewels.com#") !== -1){ $this.attr("href",href.replace("https://www.sellyourjewels.com","https://www.sellyourjewels.com?source=facebook")); } }); } }); })(jQuery); </script>

          Let me know if it works

    Hi. I was wondering if i can use it with a horizontal scrolling page? Although there is an option in the settings, it doesn’t seem to work on my website.
    By the way, it is not a horizontal scrolling theme by default. It’s an Astra theme that im working with Elementor and some custom CSS to make it horizontal.
    Any help on that would be super appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

      Hello,

      The plugin does not change your theme/page from vertical to horizontal. You need to have a theme with horizontal layout so the plugin can do its thing.

      You also need to keep in mind that the plugin works strictly on document’s root element (html/body), meaning the scrollbar should not be on overflowed container div elements.

      If you want to see a simple horizontal layout to get an idea on the CSS used, check this example:

      http://manos.malihu.gr/repository/page-scroll-to-id/demo/demo-horizontal-layout.html

      Once you’ve made your theme horizontal, you simply need to go to plugin settings and set the “Layout” option to “horizontal” or “auto”.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for making such an easy to use plugin! This site has jump links on many pages and most of them are working perfectly. One thing I’ve run into that I can’t quite determine the issue for:

    When scrolling to the ‘Youth Grant Initiative’ target from the box on the far right, the first time after the page loads, it goes to the incorrect location (landing in the ‘Al Tauscher’ section above). However, on a second try, or any try after that, it goes to the correct spot, with no changes to the offset settings or placement of the target.

    I couldn’t seem to find other people having this same issue to troubleshoot… any ideas?

    Thank you!

      Hello,

      This happens because your page is lazy-loading images.

      When the page loads, your “Bud Award” and “Al Tauscher” images are not loaded, so their height is zero.

      When you scroll to or past them, they load (i.e. “lazy load”), so their height changes from zero to their actual height (e.g. 527 pixels).

      All this is happening while the page is scrolling, so between clicking on “Youth Grant Initiative” and smooth scrolling to the target, the target’s top position has already changed, simply because 2 additional images have loaded before it.

      This issue between smooth scrolling and lazy-loading images is very common no matter what scripts or plugins you use.

      There are 2 thing you can do:

      1)Enable plugin’s “Verify target position and readjust scrolling (if necessary), after scrolling animation is complete” option in “Page scroll to id” settings (see info)

      OR

      2)Give your image placeholders a fixed height (with CSS) so they don’t change when the actual image is loaded. This of course can be difficult because images are usually responsive and can’t have a fixed value height.

    Hi,

    Great plugin, thanks!

    I am using the plugin with the Phlox theme (which uses Elementor) on a number of my sites.

    At the end of December 2019 (and possibly January 2020) I implemented the plugin in my websites. I am using the “offset” functionality of the plugin, and initially it worked perfectly.

    However, recently the offset functionality has stopped working.

    (There have been a number of Elementor updates and Phlox updates.)

    Here is an example page where the offset functionality worked perfectly with the expandable wiki-style in-page TOC links. But now, it seems that the offset is no longer recognised by the plugin.

    https://frankburns.me.uk/about/legal/privacy-policy/

    Can you please advise me on what may be the problem and how to fix it?

    Note that I do have the “Prevent other scripts from handling plugin’s links (if possible)” set to true.

    Kind regards,

    Francis

    Hi,

    I use your plugin in almost every project ’cause is awesome!
    Unfortunately, now I have an issue.
    I have selected the “Remove URL hash (i.e. the #some-id part in browser’s address bar) when scrolling from/to different pages.” option in the plugin settings, but when I click on the menu item of a different page (aka all other pages except home page), the #something is still at the end of the URL.
    Of course the option “Append the clicked link’s hash value (e.g. #id) to browser’s URL/address bar” is disabled.
    The scroll effect works without any problems, I would only remove the hash and its value that comes in the URL when I click a link to a different page anchor.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated!

    Thank you
