@darknighthimself: And from whom came the recommendation? ??

It should. But let’s perhaps better wait a bit until Oliver jumps in and confirms.

A possible cause for such problems could be either custom css or any other styling plugin installed in parallel.

If none of these appears as the culprit, I‘d simply do a full uninstall and reinstall of the plugin. If I understood correctly, the upgrade is linked to the domain name, thus it should automatically be present again after reinstall.

Normally, after what I have seen, it‘s a few hours. Nothing compared to the total development time for a complete website.

I just discovered that there is now an option to change the footer background color. Unfortunately, there is no option to change the foreground color, so the use is relatively limited.
My idea was to put the footer into a kind of night mode to make a real contrast with the page layout which is black on white. So, I’d basically select a dark grey background and a clear grey foreground, as soon as you make the foreground option available ??

Couldn’t test the one/two columns thing since my website is all one column, but I highly appreciate the additional “Back to top” for all pages. Thank you!

Update works, links reworked, thank you! Now seeing light at the end of the tunnel ??

That sounds very good. Even if one or two “system slugs” were missing in the above list, these could be added later when user feedback would reveal problems, but further exclusions would only require a minor manual menu rework of the affected link, so the actual rules seem to be an excellent starting point.

I know that my modest payments are far from covering all the time which you actually put into the development and I know that me being finicky can be a pain (sorry for that), but my intention is to make this a still better plugin which would then find favor in the eyes of still more wordpress users to multiply your revenues (hopefully) exponentially. ??

Technically, everything works as expected. Sorry for the delay in feedback, but I had to recreate the menu links and to rewrite some inline links in the page text.

The idea with the arrow svg is really great and much more beautiful than text and there is no need for translations on multilingual sites.

You will perhaps hate me now, but there are two little points which I don’t find fully satisfying from an esthetic point of view:

First, is it mandatory to add the “panel-” prefix to the anchors? I had hoped for cleaner and thus more beautiful links like /#contact instead of /#panel-contact, not sure if this has an effect on search engines when crawling the site for internal links.

Second, with my php hack, I had also added a back to top link at the end of the principal section of the page (before the section panels start) which makes for sure sense if that main page is relatively long and it gives a better optical consistency. I’d really like to see it added…

But I’m perhaps wrong with my ideas. What do you think?

As a guy with French and German roots, I’d most probably never call a page “main” since the Main is just a river near Frankfurt… ??

But it’s definitively a valid point. So I let it up to you to find an improved solution. I’m actually full of admiration how all these things which your plugin does can be done with css and JavaScript/jQuery without physically patching the php code of the theme template files.

Can’t wait to see the next update with named anchors and the back to top options. I promise to calm down after that and to stop harassing you with further feature requests. But I promise, too, that I’ll do another feed run when it will be tested and validated.

Uwe is unfortunately right. The twenty seventeen theme renders the so called blog roll page always as two columns, independent from the theme options settings. Haven’t yet looked after that, so I can’t tell why, but it must be hidden in one of the theme’s template part files.

Please remember, I’m not a web developer. I’m a relational database architecture guru at my day job, a musician as a secondary activity, and a c++ and asm embedded developer in my free time. Thus, I master elementary html and some clumsy css, but that’s it…

#page jumps to the very top, including the (massive and almost screen-filling) theme header img. I really prefer jumping to #main which is the beginning of the page content and thus shows (hopefully) something meaningful.

Did you try out my implementation in live?

I just made a quick hack to demonstrate how I imagine it could look like, by adding the following code snippet in the template part files content-front-page.php and content-front-page-panels.php, just before the closing entry-content /div:

				//start insert
				<div style="text-align: right">
					<a href="#main">Back to top</a>
				</div>
				//end insert
			</div><!-- .entry-content -->

That’s a quick and dirty hack, I admit. I’m sure that you can do this in a smarter way with jQuery, so that the string “Back to top” would be translated and not be hard coded English.

Depends on people’s use case, I think.

Thus, in the customizer, I’d allow distinct options with a select element:

Add “Back to top” link at the bottom of

• all front page sections
• all pages

… where the “all pages” option would have to include archive pages, too.
But the one option would have to exclude the other to avoid doubling the link.

Great!

Let’s add a little usability detail: What about a configurable (enable/disable) option which would add a “Back to top” link at the end of each front page section, with a simple #main href?
