Tip: Install and activate both Animation Addons plugins before you start. Scroll To only works on the live page when Pro is active.

STEP 1

Enable the Extension

Turn on the extension from your dashboard. You only need to do this once.

  1. From your WordPress Dashboard, go to Animation Addon > Extensions.
  2. Open the Elementor V4 (Atomic) tab, then click Interaction.
  3. Under Interaction Extensions, turn on Scroll To.
  4. Click Save Settings.

STEP 2

Give the Target an ID

Choose the section you want to scroll to, and give it an ID.

  1. Select the section, for example a Flexbox.
  2. In the General tab, open the Settings section.
  3. Type a name in the ID field, for example features. Do not type the # here.

STEP 3

Set Up the Button

Now choose the element that starts the scroll. A Button is the most common choice.

  1. Select your Button.
  2. In the General tab, open the ScrollTo section.
  3. Turn on Enable Scroll To.
  4. In Target Selector | Number, type #features. Use # followed by the ID you chose.
  5. Click Update to save your page.

Tip: Scroll To replaces the normal click of the element. The button’s own link does not open.

SETTINGS

Options

Enable Scroll To

Default: OffTurns Scroll To on for this element. You can set it for each device.

Target Selector | Number

Default: #section-idWhere to scroll. Type a selector like #features or .my-section. You can also type a number, which is a position in pixels from the top of the page. 0 goes to the top.

Scroll Duration

Default: 1How many seconds the scroll takes.

Scroll Ease

Default: Power2 OutHow the scroll speeds up and slows down. See the list below.

Scroll Ease

Power1 Out

A gentle slow-down at the end.

Power2 Out

A smooth, natural slow-down. This is the default.

Power3 Out

A stronger slow-down at the end.

Expo Out

Starts very fast, then glides to a stop.

Bounce Out

RESULT

Final Result

A menu with four buttons at the top of a page. Each button has its own Target, Duration and Ease. The GIFs show one click each.

Features button

Target is #features. Duration is 1.2 and Ease is Power2 Out.

Pricing button

Target is #pricing. Duration is 1.5 and Ease is Expo Out.

Contact button

Target is #contact. Duration is 2 and Ease is Bounce Out.

Back to top button

Target is the number 0, which means the top of the page.

GOOD TO KNOW

How It Works

Page link updates

When the target starts with #, the address in the browser changes to match, for example /page/#pricing. Visitors can share that link.

Link opens at the section

If a visitor opens a page link that ends with the target, for example /page/#pricing, the page scrolls to that section when it loads.

Per device

All settings can be different on desktop, tablet and mobile.

Only loads when used

Pages with no Scroll To element do not load any extra script.

HELP

Troubleshooting

I do not see the ScrollTo section

Check that the extension is on. Go to Animation Addon > Extensions > Elementor V4 (Atomic) > Interaction and turn on Scroll To. Then reload the editor and select an element.

Nothing happens when I click

Make sure Enable Scroll To is on and the page is updated. Pro must be active with a valid license. Test on the live page, not in the editor.

The page does not scroll to my section

Check that the section has the same ID as your target. If the ID is features, the target must be #features. IDs are case sensitive and cannot have spaces.

It stops a little too low or too high

The page scrolls so the target touches the top of the screen. If you have a fixed menu, the menu covers the top of the section. Add some top padding to the section to make up for it.

You Did It

Your button now glides to the section you chose. If you face any problem, please contact our support team. We are happy to help.
