Smooth Scroll is a WordPress ability from The Plus Addons for Elementor — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Smooth Scroll
WriteAdds the The Plus "Smooth Scroll" widget (tp-smooth-scroll) to an Elementor container.
Requires the The Plus Addons for Elementor plugin (which registers under the 'tpae' ability category) on WordPress 6.9+, with Elementor active. Every ability requires the current user to have the 'edit_posts' capability (and 'edit_post' for the specific post being modified); abilities that create or edit content also verify Elementor and, where relevant, the target The Plus widget are available. A subset of abilities (theme templates, template conditions, dynamic tags, popups, and some custom-code abilities) only register when Elementor Pro is active, and many widget abilities load only in the free plugin when the Pro add-on is inactive.
What it does
The execute_callback tpae_mcp_add_theplus_smooth_scroll_ability requires Elementor to be active and the tp-smooth-scroll widget to be registered, then loads the target post's Elementor page data. It builds a new widget element of type tp-smooth-scroll with settings for animation frame rate (minimum 1), scroll animation duration in ms (minimum 100), pixels scrolled per wheel step (minimum 10), and a pulse easing algorithm toggle, plus any raw settings supplied, then inserts it into the specified parent container at the given position and saves the page data. It validates that post_id and parent_id are provided, that the post exists, and that the parent container is found before saving.
