Hi there! Thank you guys for this amazing theme, I love it. The website I've been working on is almost done, but I'm having a small issue with the datascroll-to to a page section from an external page. When I click the link, for example

`

from another page, it redirects and scrolls to the section correctly, but not to the exact top of the page section. I tried adding data-offset="0" in the a-tag, but to no avail.

Hello,

Currently, the Scroll to Section functionality is not available from External URLs. However, you can simply add the following JS code at the bottom of the Page just after the js/functions.js JS File Linking to enable this: 


    jQuery(document).ready( function(){
        setTimeout(function() {
            if (location.hash) {
                window.scrollTo(0, 0);
            }
        }, 1);
    });

    jQuery(window).on('load', function(){
        var divScrollToAnchor = window.location.hash;

        if( typeof divScrollToAnchor !== 'undefined' ) {
            var t = setTimeout( function(){
                $('html,body').stop(true).animate({
                    'scrollTop': $( divScrollToAnchor ).offset().top - 100
                }, 700, 'easeOutQuad');
            }, 1000);
        }
    });

This will definitely work fine. Hope this Helps!

Thank you for your response!

I added the Javascript code right under the js/functions.js script tag, but it seems to be acting the same way, i.e. redirecting to the correct section on the external page, but not stopping at the top of the section.

When I opened up the JS console on Chrome Dev tools, I see there is an error TypeError: Cannot read property 'top' of undefined.

Just so I'm clear, I added the JS code to the about page and I want the links to redirect to the respective sections on the home page.

Thank you so much for your help!
