Scroll to anchors doesn't work after update

[ArneRobot]

@arminunruh I have removed all custom code and replaced the CSS-menu-class with "scrolltotop". It doesn't work. I also updated LayTheme.

[arminunruh]

yea i did another mistake :((((, sry, if you update again later today i think it should work

[ArneRobot]

@arminunruh Hello. I updated and placed the ids on my text-blocks again. But it still doesn't work. :-(
Should I add my custom JS back again? Did you get it to work in your development environment? Making a menu link to anchors?

[arminunruh]

well you added scrolltotop
to every menupoint

thats not what i meant,
it should only be on the menupoint where you want the website to scroll to the top
for the others that should scroll to a certain anchor, remove that class and also remove the #hash link for that scrolltotop link
if thats possible

@arminunruh Hello Armin. Thank you for the help. Here is the current situation:

• The scroll to top button on my second menu on the bottom of the page works now!

• The main menu does scroll to the section but also somehow loads that section so that the rest of the page is gone after and only that one section is visible. The hash "#exhibition" etc. gets added to the URL so I guess that might be a problem.

• My legal links at the bottom of the page do work (make section visible scroll to their top) but also add the hash "https://anime-architecture.org/#legal" which they shouldn't

So maybe there is some problem with the default action of those anchor links? Do we need a script to disable default and kill the hash in the URL?

Thank you!

@arminunruh @mariusjopen Can someone please have a look a this! The site in question is a customer website which he paid for and I need it to get back to work! Had I known that the update would have had this effect, I would not have done it. Are anchor links in the menu NOT possible anymwore in LayTheme 3? Or how can I do them? Thank you!

[arminunruh]

hey man,

you can always go back to the old lay theme and old plugins:

[arminunruh]

you can also send your /wp-admin/ login data to info@laytheme.com and a link to this post and I'll take another look

i'm helping as much and as fast as i can and want to and i'm working on another feature right now, so my time is a bit limited

i'm sorry we couldn't solve this problem faster

@arminunruh of course I know that you are working hard on this. I was just a bit shocked when the main navigation stopped working after what I considered a standard theme update. And I need it back to work before my customer gets worried.

Email sent, thank you!

@mariusjopen Unfortunately we were still not able to solve this problem. I was in contact with @arminunruh, just made the latest update. Still problems with the scroll. A click on the menu links apply the hash-link (#exhibition, #publication…) to the URL/slug and then the website loads just that part/div and you can't get back to the rest of the page. Eg. scroll up to the header slider. Can you please look into that again?

[mariusjopen]

Dear @ArneRobot
I see the anchor links working.
Can you please write down the current problem and the situation?
I am reading through many threads daily and that would help a lot.
Thank you!

@mariusjopen Hello Marius. I did describe the problem in my last post, but here we go again:

A click on the menu links apply the hash-link (#exhibition, #publication…) to the URL/slug and then the website loads just that part/div and you can't get back to the rest of the page. Eg. scroll up to the header slider.

So the anchor links work once when scrolling down but not the way they should. In desktop view you cannot go back to the very top of the page (the slider). If you scroll to "Publications" you can not scroll back to "Exhibition". If you use the menu link "Exhibition" it will jump back up but not with a smooth scroll. And the rest of the page appears empty under the footer.

Please test the page and you will see what I mean. It's just a few clicks.

Dear @ArneRobot
ok. Wow. I have not see this before. Thank you for rephrasing it.
We will have another look!
Best!
