Back To Top plugin acting up

[tpgettys]

Is this the correct place to post about a plugin changing behavior?  If not please inform me where it does go!

The Back To Top plugin has recently changed behavior; the up arrow icon has changed to something else. The down arrow icon is still the same.

Thanks for reading.

Here's the topic for that specific plugin. support.proboards.com/thread/450856/back-top-1-7?page=1

Looks like the author hasn't been online here for a few years. I'm guessing he deleted the up arrow from his Imgur. I also use this plugin and the up arrow now displays the "removed from Imgur" image.

There is an option in the plugin settings to add your own images for the up and down arrows. That might be the way to go here, just find or create some arrows and link them in.

Thank you very much for responding Matte .  The question is where can the images be hosted.

In a different thread it was suggested to upload the arrows to the theme, but I don't know how to then reference them in the plugin settings boxes. They seems to want a URL, so maybe the images in the theme can't be referenced as a URL?

You can use the URL of the image you added to your theme. I responded to you in the other thread you quoted me in. Let me know if it helped.


Admin > Themes > Theme Manager



Hover over one of your themes. I would use the default one. Press the "images" button that appears to the right.



Scroll down a bit. There will be a section named Custom Theme Images. Upload it into an empty space. Copy the link it gives you after you upload it.



Admin > Plugins > Manage



Click on the blue "Back to Top" plugin name.



Go to the settings tab.



Paste the link in the box next to "Back to Top Image."
