🛠️ Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Assign an Anchor ID to the Top

    • Select the top-most section of your page and go to its Advanced settings.

    • In the CSS ID field, type a unique identifier like top (without the # symbol). Elementor

  2. Add the Button

    • Drag Elementor’s Button widget into the location where you want the “back to top” link to appear (commonly in a footer or sticky footer).

    • Set the button’s text to something like “Top.”

    • In the Link field, type #top (include the # to target the ID you set earlier). Elementor

  3. Optional: Make the Button Sticky

    • If you’re using Elementor Pro, apply the Sticky Scrolling effect to the button via the Advanced tab.

    • Choose to stick it to the bottom, side, or another position to keep it visible as users scroll. Elementor


✅ Best Practices

  • Anchor ID choice: Use a simple, unique name (like top or home) to avoid conflicts.

  • Visibility: Sticky placement helps users access it easily no matter where they are on the page.

  • Style Consistency: Match the button’s design (colors, size, typography) to your site’s theme for a polished look.

  • Testing: Check that clicking it scrolls smoothly to the top, and ensure the button performs well on all devices.


With just a few steps—assigning an ID, placing a button linked to it, and optionally making it sticky—you can enhance navigation and boost user experience with a Back-to-Top feature.
