Back to top button is one of the features available in Divi. With the feature, you can allow your site visitors to jump to the top section of the page they are currently on. The back to top button itself is a useful feature if you often write long articles on your website.
Unfortunately, Divi offers no options to set where the back to top button to show up. If you enable the feature, the back to top button will show up on every single page and post on your website. If you want to disable the button on a certain page, say homepage, this post will show you how.
