Well, fear no more! The \u201cGo to Top\u201d button is here to enhance your user experience and provide the ultimate convenience for your website visitors. But how exactly do you add this button to your website? Keep reading for our step-by-step guide.\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Access_Your_Theme_Editor\"><\/span>Step 1: Access Your Theme Editor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\nThe first crucial step in adding the \u201cGo to Top\u201d button is to open your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Appearance &gt; Theme Editor. Once you\u2019re there, choose your desired theme and locate the \u201cfunctions.php\u201d file.\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Add_the_Necessary_Code\"><\/span>Step 2: Add the Necessary Code<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\nNow we can add some code to the functions.php file to create the \u201cGo to Top\u201d button. Insert the following snippet of code:\n<\/p>\n<pre><code>function add_my_script() {\nwp_enqueue_script('back-to-top', get_template_directory_uri() . '\/js\/back-to-top.js', array('jquery'), '1.0', true);\n}\nadd_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'add_my_script' );\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>\nThis code tells WordPress to add the \u201cback-to-top.js\u201d file to your website.\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Create_the_%E2%80%9Cback-to-topjs%E2%80%9D_File\"><\/span>Step 3: Create the \u201cback-to-top.js\u201d File<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\nNext, you will need to make a file called \u201cback-to-top.js\u201d and paste this code into it:\n<\/p>\n<pre><code>jQuery(document).ready(function() {\n jQuery(window).scroll(function() {\n if (jQuery(this).scrollTop() &gt; 100) {\n jQuery('#back-to-top').fadeIn();\n } else {\n jQuery('#back-to-top').fadeOut();\n }\n });\n\n jQuery('#back-to-top').click(function() {\n jQuery('body,html').animate({\n scrollTop: 0\n }, 600);\n return false;\n});\n});\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>\nThis code uses jQuery to create a function that will control your \u201cGo to Top\u201d button. When a user scrolls down the page, the button will appear. When it is clicked, the user is taken back to the top of the page.\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Save_and_Upload\"><\/span>Step 4: Save and Upload<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\nSave the \u201cback-to-top.js\u201d file and upload it to your WordPress website using an FTP client. Place it in this directory:\n<\/p>\n<pre><code>wp-content\/themes\/your-theme-name\/js\/\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>\nNote: Replace \u201cyour-theme-name\u201d with your theme\u2019s name.\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Add_the_Button_HTML_and_CSS\"><\/span>Step 5: Add the Button HTML and CSS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\nWe can now add the \u201cGo to Top\u201d button to your site by editing the theme\u2019s footer.php file. Look for the closing &lt;\/body&gt; tag in your footer.php and add this code above it:\n<\/p>\n<pre><code>&lt;a href=\"#\" id=\"back-to-top\" title=\"Back to top\">&uarr;&lt;\/a&gt;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>\nThis code creates the HTML and CSS for the button that will display on your website.\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_6_Enjoy\"><\/span>Step 6: Enjoy!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\nAfter saving the changes to your footer.php file, refresh your website and see the \u201cGo to Top\u201d button in action. Adding this button is an easy process that can vastly improve user experience on your WordPress website. Your users can now effortlessly navigate through your site\u2019s content with the simple click of a button.
