Hash Link Scroll Offset

Description

Often anchor links can be overachievers and can scroll a user past the section intended. This plugin attempts to change that by offering a setting that allows you to change the scroll offset when clicking anchors. It also adds a nice animated scrolling effect when clicking an anchor rather than the sudden jump that usually occurs. Even handles when visiting a hashed URL directly.

Use the no-scroll class on any hash links that are not meant to scroll to an area of the page (Navigation for sliders, etc).

Pluginize was launched in 2016 by WebDevStudios to promote, support, and house all of their WordPress products. Pluginize is not only creating new products for WordPress all the time, but also provides ongoing support and development for WordPress community favorites like CPTUI, CMB2, and more.

Enfold fixed-header solution without affecting theme files.

James Frazier September 10, 2019

This plugin is fantastic! So simple and effective (from this end, anyway). After hours of fighting Enfold’s CSS and JS in my child theme, this plugin just fixed my fixed-positioned header overlap issue with one simple setting. Thank you!

Works ok, but…

Doesn’t play nice with my site’s back to top button. Click on an anchor link and the page scrolls to the anchor with the correct offset. BUT click back to top and the page only scrolls a little bit. Maybe by the amount of the offset, I’m not sure. But it looked to be about that distance.

Visual composer offset FIXED!
