query loop, page turner does not return to top

Hi there,

it would require 2 things:

1. the Query Loop should be set to Inherit Query from Template and that way the Post Navigation will use template pagination.

2. then you can use a PHP Snippet to disable the top highlight element on paged instances:

add_filter( 'generate_element_display', function( $display ) {
  if ( 99 === $element_id && is_paged() ) {
     $display = false;
  }

  return $display;
} );

Change the 99 to the ID of the Element you need to remove.

So you want when the paged page is loaded, it will scroll to the “latest news”section?

It’s not possible to add HTML anchor to the numbered pagination buttons, but it’s possible to add it to the previous and next page buttons of the query loop pagination.

Otherwise, custom Javascript is required to change the pagination URLs.

Hi Davidr,

Let’s try this:

1. Give your Next button a custom class. Something like: custom-next.

2. Add this PHP:

add_filter( 'generateblocks_dynamic_url_output', function( $url, $attributes ) {
    if ( ! empty( $attributes['className'] ) && 'custom-next' === $attributes['className'] ) {
        $url = $url . '#my-loop-id';
    }

    return $url;
}, 10, 2 );

3. Add a Container (or any element) around your loop, and give it the anchor ID you specified in the function/code in #2: my-loop-id

Let us know if that works or not.

GP Elements use Action Hooks to insert content ( and should only be used to insert content ) into frontend templates and template parts.

Those hooks are executed after front end templates are loaded which is much later in the WP code execution cycle.

Snippets such as the one above uses a filter hook, and should be registered earlier in the cycle eg. in child theme functions.php or a plugin, so WordPress can process and execute them at the correct time.
