Does what is says and nothing else – that’s how its supposed to be. If you ever
plan on adding any features, maybe add easings (although it is not to hard your
code, but some users might find that option useful).
### [Would be great if…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/would-be-great-if-2/)
[skoft](https://profiles.wordpress.org/skoft/) September 3, 2016
Great simple plugin. The only thing missing is an “offset” option for where the
page scrolls to when you click an anchor link.
