"Return to top of page" Missing since HTML5 Switch

[ksburgess]

I'm using Prose Theme and upon switching to HTML5, my "Return to top of page" link is missing. Maybe I have missed something in the custom files that Prose generates?

Any direction on where to check is greatly appreciated.

Unless I manually change the CSS, my footer text is also left-aligned rather than right-aligned. It's this way on my live and my development site.

Hi,

I've never used the Prose theme - can you work with the functions.php file? I asked this same type of question the other day and Gary Jones told me this:

"Edit the footer as you would normally - either filter it, or use something like Simple Footer plugin. The [footer_backtotop] shortcode still exists within Genesis - it's just now not used by default."

So, I added this to my functions:

//* Customize the return to top of page text
add_filter( 'genesis_footer_output', 'footer_backtotop_text' );
function footer_backtotop_text($backtotop) {
	$backtotop = '[footer_backtotop href="#nav_menu-2" text="Back to Top"]';
	return $backtotop;
}

Since the #wrap does not exist in Genesis 2.0, you'll need to find another id to link to. In the code above, I used this:

href="#nav_menu-2"

You'll need to look at your site and figure out an id that's near the top to use.

Thanks Susan! This was really helpful and I was able to work with it to get what I wanted on my site 😀
