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. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Fixed Widget and Sticky Elements for WordPress version 6.2.3 as active, updated 3y ago and tested up to WordPress 6.2.
Overview
About this plugin
Use Fixed Widget to create sticky widgets, sticky blocks, and other elements that stay in the visible screen area when a user scrolls the page up or down.
Sticky widgets are more visible than unfixed widgets and therefore have a significantly higher click-through rate.
That’s why this option is worthwhile for ads or other elements that visitors should interact with. Meanwhile, Google also allows the integration of sticky AdSense ads.
