“Fast Scrollback” doesn’t work

Hi there,

looks like you’re using Elementor on the site, and to the best of my knowledge they plugin adds its own Smooth Scroll which will conflict with the GB Back to Top and Smooth scroll options.

Can you check with Elementor if it’s possible to disable their smooth scrolling ?

Elementor adds the CSS smooth-scroll to HTML, if you do not know how to disable it, you can use the below PHP code to remove GP smooth-scroll from the back to top button.

//remove GP smooth scroll from back to top button 
add_filter( 'generate_back_to_top_js_args', function( $args ) {
    $args['smooth'] = false;

    return $args;
} );

Adding PHP: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

Ok… my apologies, let’s stop the back and forth conversation with Elementor. I can only assume that they still do not provide an option to disable their smooth scrolling script. And lets be honest; they should know where their scripts are loading.

So instead we have to disable the GP one to stop the two from conflicting.

Can you add the script that Ying provided here:

And then let us know.

Hi there,

The real issue is a conflict between the smooth scroll functions in GP Smooth Scroll and Elementor Smooth Scroll. You have two options: either disable GP Smooth Scroll or Elementor Smooth Scroll. Since disabling Elementor’s can be cumbersome (as their support isn’t particularly helpful with this), our solution would be to disable GP Smooth Scroll using a snippet and rely on Elementor’s smooth scroll.

If you’d still like to pursue it with Elementor, you could ask them for a method to disable the smooth scroll script in Elementor, though they may not provide a straightforward solution.

Even if no Elementor elements are used on the current page, their JavaScript still loads on the frontend, which is why the issue persists.
