Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Compatibility (IMPORTANT!)

The structure of your theme is of great importance for this plugin. Please read the installation guide carefully!!

This plugin should work with most themes and plugins although I can’t be sure for all use-cases. x version…

If the plugin does not work for your theme, please let me know through the support and add a plugins and themes list and I will take a look!

Fixed elements (like sticky menu’s)

There are known issues with fixed elements and Slidebars. Wiki

I’ve created two possible solutions for this:

  • Legacy CSS solution. Use basic CSS2 positioning instead of CSS3 transform with hardware acceleration.
  • JavaScript solution. It is slower but still allows the use of hardware acceleration for animations.

It’s not working! / I found a bug!

Please let me know through support and add a plugins and themes list! 🙂
