Nicescrollr

Description

Get Nicescroll and a ScrollTop button! I really like InuYaksa’s Nicescroll JS plugin. I’m a fan. And I thought there may be others like me who would enjoy using his famous
library with a simple interface. So I came up with this plugin. It is a wrapper for that popular library, which is developed and maintained by InuYaksa. You can visit his official Nicescroll homepage here. An overview of the default parameters can be found on Github at the bottom of the page. This plugin enables you to use the Nicescroll scrollbar on both the frontend and the backend. It is fully customizable, you can tweak and tune every single parameter Nicescroll has to offer! You can style it totally different for both views. It’s all up to you!

FAQ

Why doesn’t it work with my theme?

Most likely, this is because your theme (or another plugin?) already has the Nicescroll library on board. If that’s the case, I advise you to uninstall this plugin again to prevent compatibility issues. Of course, you can always ask your theme developer to implement a function to disable the built-in solution if you like to use this plugin and its Options.

The capability required for being able to customize settings is the following:
* nicescrollr_edit – The user can change settings regarding this plugin.

Can you help me?

Well, I provide some basic support on this plugin’s support page. I check that place once or twice a month, so you may have to be a bit patient.

This is an excellent plugin, which consists of my all requirements. Thank you very much. I hope to contribute through GitHub.

Does what it suggests except when there are accordions on the page. When opening accordions the whole length of a site becomes longer and nicescrollr doesn’t consider that. The site stops scrolling at the initial length, not the complete length.
