Scroll Bottom Anchor (for Revolution Slider) not working

[deeprootsmarketing]

Hey there! I have had Scroll Bottom Anchor turned on for my homepage’s Revolution Slider for over a month and it’s worked all that time, but last week it stopped working. Any thoughts why?

Hi there,

I am not sure why this should be happening. Would you please kindly give us the information on how you added the scroll to option with screenshots and where it shows load on the front end?

Thank you.

Hey again,

I actually gained greater clarity on this today. I was setting up another website with Pro and Slider Revolution today, and added the Scroll Bottom Anchor to it. It worked great and fine UNTIL I activated my footer from the Pro footer builder, making it the global footer. I had already set a Pro builder header as global, and that did not break functionality. But when I activate a Pro footer builder footer, the Scroll Bottom Anchor stops working.

Here’s the Scroll Bottom Anchor I’m talking about. I set it up in my homepage’s Cornerstone settings tab.

Please note there’s already a post about the same issue happening back in July 2017, but it was happening with the Pro header builder, and they said they were working on it.

To be clear, I’ve replicated this issue on two separate sites, both with the latest version of Pro (1.2.7) and Slider Revolution (5.4.6.4).

Thanks for any thoughts.

Hey Philip,

This is currently a known issue which has no solution yet. For now, only the Classic Header will work with the Scroll Anchor as it was originally built for that. Please stay tuned.

Thanks.

Hi Christian,

Perhaps you missed it, but I stated the Scroll Bottom Anchor does indeed work with Pro headers. It does NOT, however, work with Pro footers. That’s my experience, anyhow. I am happy to provide you guys login info for the second site as well, if it’ll help.

Further, I already linked to a report of the same type of problem (except their issue was indeed with Pro headers, not footers) from back in July 2017. It’s been half a year. Considering this is a bug, shouldn’t it take priority over new features?

Thanks for any feedback!

Hi again,

I was able to replicate the issue on my local installation and I’ve added this to our issue tracker so the developers can be aware of the problem. In the mean time you can add the following script in your Customizer via Appearance > Customize > Custom > Edit Global Javascript to fix the issue temporarily:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
   $('.x-slider-scroll-bottom').off('click');
   $('.x-slider-scroll-bottom').click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    var $mastheadHeight       = $('.x-masthead > .x-bar').outerHeight();
    var $curContentBand       = $('.x-main');

    $('html, body').animate({
      scrollTop: $curContentBand.next().offset().top
    }, 850, 'easeInOutExpo');
  });
});

Don’t forget to clear your browser’s cache after adding the code. Let us know how this goes!

Thank you thank you thank you! That did the trick, and I’m glad to hear it’s in the issue tracker for inclusion in a future release.
