WP To Top – a WordPress plugin that takes you to the top

About WP To Top

WP To Top is a WordPress plugin that adds a “Back to top” link in your blog without modifying your template files. This is useful especially if you have long posts or long pages. You will have a nice “Back to top” or whatever-text-you-want link floating at the bottom right/left of your page.

Features

  • Smooth scrolling animation and fade in, fade out effect, powered by the YUI library
  • Customizable options via the admin panel, from the text to the position of the link
  • Works on almost all browsers including IE6 (yes!)

Download

Demo

You have a demo on this page. Just scroll a little bit and you will see a nice “Take me up” link appearing at the bottom of your page.

Installation

  • Extract wptotop.zip in the “/wp-content/plugins/” directory
  • Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu in WordPress
  • Go to “Settings” and then “WP To Top” to configure the plugin. The options are self explanatory and easy to understand.

Thanks

I got the inspiration to write this plugin after having a look at David Walsh’s jQuery topLink Plugin. Thanks to the YUI team for the great YUI library and Semih’s Animated Page Scroll with YUI.
