Good to know

  • The two Back to Top options are only shown when the Back to Top button is enabled in GeneratePress. A value of 0 or below is ignored.
  • If Custom is chosen and the text is empty, the default message is used.
  • Disabling the Footer Bar also removes the copyright text.
  • If you choose Custom and leave the text empty, you cannot publish. The Customizer shows Enter the custom text, or choose a different option.
  • These options work only when GeneratePress is the active theme or the parent theme.
