Replace: IMAGE LINK with your ‘back to top’ buttons image link. See our collection of scroll to top buttons
Now save the widget and drag the widget to the bottom most position in the layout.

That’s it done! Now take a look at your blog to see the back to top button working smoothly. The widget only appears as one scrolls down the page and it’ll automatically disappear as one scrolls up. Nice yeah! Hope that was made easy. thank you.
