Coding Tips:

Easy Workaround with Custom Code

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Give your page top an anchor (optional but recommended):
   • Edit the top section/container of your page.
   • Go to Advanced → CSS ID and enter top (or any ID you prefer).
2. Add JavaScript:
   • Use an HTML widget on the same page (place it anywhere, it can be hidden).
   • Or use Elementor Pro → Custom Code (Site-wide or per-page) have it placed at body end.
   • Paste this code:

<script>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
    const tocTitles = document.querySelectorAll('.elementor-widget-table-of-contents .elementor-toc__header-title');
    
    tocTitles.forEach(title => {
        // Make it look and behave like a link
        title.style.cursor = 'pointer';
        title.style.textDecoration = 'underline'; // Optional: make it look clickable
        
        title.addEventListener('click', function() {
            // Scroll to top of page smoothly
            window.scrollTo({
                top: 0,
                behavior: 'smooth'
            });
            
            // Alternative: scroll to a specific anchor
            // document.getElementById('top').scrollIntoView({ behavior: 'smooth' });
        });
    });
});
</script>

.elementor-widget-table-of-contents .elementor-toc__header-title {
color: #your-color; /* Match your theme */
transition: color 0.3s;
}
.elementor-widget-table-of-contents .elementor-toc__header-title:hover {
color: #your-hover-color;
}

Alternative Approaches

• Add a separate “Back to Top” button near or inside the TOC (using Elementor’s Button widget linked to #top).
• Use a third-party TOC plugin/addon (like PowerPack, The Plus Addons, or Ultimate Addons) — some offer more title customization options.
• For sticky TOCs, some people combine this with Elementor’s Sticky settings for better UX.

“Envato just dropped exclusivity and raised author fees to 50% 😳

Effectively killing the last real reason to stay exclusive.”

What Envato Actually Changed (Official, July 1 2026)

• Exclusivity program is dead. No more “exclusive vs non-exclusive” tiers.
• Flat 50% author share for everyone. You now keep 50% of the item price component on every Envato sale.
• You can sell the exact same items on your own site, Gumroad, Freemius, EDD, wherever — without pulling them off ThemeForest/CodeCanyon.

• Exclusive authors got the sweet rates (some as low as ~12–30% fees depending on volume).
• Non-exclusive paid more.
• Loyalty = better payout.

Why It Feels Like a Fiasco

• Traffic down
• Innovation stalled
• Almost zero investment in helping sellers actually grow

Community Pulse (the real signal)

• Freemius, Easy Digital Downloads, and independent WP shops immediately started posting “time to own your platform.”
• Authors on X and Reddit are calling it the final push to independence.
• Plenty of long-time sellers are saying they’ve been watching the slow decline and this was the last straw.

Bottom line for WP plugin authors
