Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Fast Smooth Scroll
For such situations, the plugin supports setting a scroll offset. You can use the filter fast_smooth_scroll_offset to set such an offset in pixels (default is 0, i.e. no offset).
For example, with the following code you would set a scroll offset of 120 pixels. This works for both the default CSS-only implementation as well as for the JavaScript polyfill.
<?php
function myplugin_get_custom_scroll_offset() {
return 120;
}
add_filter( 'fast_smooth_scroll_offset', 'myplugin_get_custom_scroll_offset' );
Does the plugin support reduced motion preferences?
Yes! For better accessibility, clients that are configured to reduce motion will not be affected by the smooth scroll behavior.
The prefers-reduced-motion media query is used to detect such a preference. Note that this only works with the CSS-only solution, as the older browsers that would require the JavaScript polyfill do not support this preference.
I don't care about smooth scrolling for older browsers. How can I disable the JavaScript polyfill?
Since the JavaScript polyfill is only loaded when needed and is extremely lightweight, there's probably not much value in disabling it. However, if you want to go for the purist solution of only relying on the CSS approach, you can certainly do so, using the built-in filter fast_smooth_scroll_enqueue_scripts, which defaults to true.
For example, with the following code you would ensure the JavaScript polyfill and even the simple feature detection check are never loaded:
<?php
add_filter( 'fast_smooth_scroll_enqueue_scripts', '__return_false' );

If you don't have a legacy browser handy, you can still test the behavior: You'll need to be logged in as an administrator, and then you can add a query parameter fast_smooth_scroll_debug_polyfill=1 to any URL. For example, in case of the home page:
https://my-site.com/?fast_smooth_scroll_debug_polyfill=1
