Hi Guys,

I have a couple of questions,

1) By putting custom link URL “#” , it means home page, right?

2) if yes, if i have sticky menu, and one page navigation. Clicking this custom link /# will allow viewer to go back to top right?

the “/” means the home page.

the “#” is usually used for anchor tags within a page https://help.yahoo.com/kb/yahoo-web-hosting/SLN20471.html?impressions=true

Hi Janet,

Thanks for the explanation.

But if i have a sticky menu, or a link i wish to go back to home,
I could put # as the custom link url, it will jump to the top right?

Previously, i tried “/” didn’t work, but by putting “#” only it works.

“home” is not the same as “the top of this page”. In this case “home” would be the homepage at the root directory of your site, so something like http://www.mysite.com

# takes the user back to the top of the page.

/ will take users “home” (Depending on how your site and links are set up).
