Documentation
The WPSDDC Scroll Ascend WordPress Plugin is designed for an accessible back-to-top button. It helps editors configure its appearance and respect reduced-motion preferences. This is useful for simpler navigation on long WordPress pages. The optional control should not duplicate an existing theme button.
For practical context on the WPSDDC Scroll Ascend WordPress Plugin, read Keyboard and Contrast Checks Every Plugin Interface Needs. The official reference on W3C Reduced Motion Guidance explains related technical concepts.
Requirements and Compatibility
- WordPress 6.0 or later; PHP 8.1 or later.
- English and Spanish interface.
- Works without the general HQ plugin; active collection plugins share one WPSDDC menu.
Installation and First Steps

Detailed Behavior
Add an accessible, optional back-to-top control that respects existing theme controls and reduced-motion preferences.
Preserves the optional control, theme-control suppression, scroll threshold, neutral system-color appearance, optional user-defined mobile-footer selector and reduced-motion behavior. Settings use their own namespace and native Settings API. The control is disabled by default. Runtime styling is scoped; no administration assets are loaded.
The plugin uses local WordPress APIs and does not send telemetry. Settings are retained after deactivation or removal.
