 * Hi 🙂
 * Please, can you try a few things:
 * 1. Confirm the Scroll to Top is enabled in Theme Settings > Navigation.
    2. If
   it is, please, switch back to the parent theme, does it appear?

 * 1. confirmed
    2. I switched back to parent, Scroll to Top was disabled, after
   enabling it, it appeared. 3. I switched to child, Scroll to Top does not appear
   either enabled or disabled.
 * What should I do now?

 * Thanks for trying. I’m not yet sure what the issue is. If you have a FTP program
   setup you could:
 * Backup your child theme.
    Then remove all child theme files except for functions.
   php and style.css. Does the issue persist? If the issue is fixed, add child theme
   files back until the issue re-occurs.

 * Ok, done.
    The faulty file is footer.php (1st guess). Now I need to compare your
   new footer.php and find out what changed. You are always changing things !!! 
   Thanks

 * Here we go: [https://github.com/siteorigin/siteorigin-unwind/blob/develop/footer.php](https://github.com/siteorigin/siteorigin-unwind/blob/develop/footer.php).
   I don’t know that we’ve changed anything that would have impacted scroll to top
   with footer.php in a child theme. Please, let me know what you find.

 * I got loads of stuff in my footer.php, 3 widget areas, 1 menu, 1 fixed image.
   I turned back to mine for now. I will come back later to find out. I will comment
   my findings, probably not today.
 * Thanks a lot! Great support!!

 * No rush at all. I’d be happy to take a look for you if you can post the footer.
   php file somewhere.
 * Thanks 🙂

 * Fixed!
    Lines 55 to 60 were ALL missing! I really don’t since when the Scroll-
   to-Top was missing… I noticed yesterday…
 * Thank you a lot!

 * Awesome 🙂 Glad to hear you found the cause of the problem. I could see on your
   site the markup was not there so I thought it was not a JavaScript error.
 * The method above is a relatively quick way of checking to see if a problem is
   being caused by a child theme.
 * Thanks for your support 🙂 Chat soon. Cheers.
