Overview

About this plugin

Sticky Content helps you turn any element on your site into sticky with ease. You can make any block, widget, or section remain visible or appear and disappear as users scroll down the page. It is useful for creating sticky headers, sidebars, banners, call-to-action boxes, or any element you want to keep in view.

Sticky Content | Demos | Pricing

The plugin works with the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg). You can also use shortcodes to add sticky elements anywhere on your site. The free version lets you create simple sticky effects, while the Pro version includes advanced triggers, transitions, and layout controls.

Sticky Content is optimized for performance and compatible with all themes and builders. It helps you design layouts that keep important elements visible while scrolling for better user engagement.

Key Features – Free Version

  • Universal Shortcodes & Block: Insert via Gutenberg block (in “Widgets” category) or shortcode in posts/pages/widgets.
  • Sticky Mode: All elements become fixed once they hit the top of the page.
  • Top Position Offset: Set vertical offset in px for the fixed state.
  • Background Control: Set a separate background for the sticky state.
  • Padding Control: Adjust inner spacing for the sticky element.

Sticky Content Pro – Unlock Advanced Features

When you upgrade to Pro, you get the full suite of sticky capabilities, including:

Pro Features Include:

  • Sticky Modes: Always, After Scroll, While in View (choose exactly how the element behaves as the user scrolls).
  • Custom Start & End Triggers: Trigger sticky behavior by ID, CSS selector, or pixel value (start/stop at defined points).
  • Horizontal & Vertical Positions: Set fixed offsets using % unit for precise placement.
  • Separate Backgrounds & Sticky Backgrounds: Distinct styling when static vs sticky.
  • Border, Border Radius & Shadow: Style main and sticky states independently for more design impact.
  • Z-Index Control: Ensure the sticky element sits above (or below) other content as needed.
  • Stick Within Container: Confine sticky behavior to a specific section or container via a custom selector.
  • Scroll Trigger (px): Define how many pixels of scroll before the stick effect begins.
  • Transition Animations: Choose fade, slide, scale, zoom (or none) for smooth sticky transitions.
  • Duration, Delay & Easing Functions: Fine-tune the animation timing and curve for natural motion.
  • Opacity & Transform Control: Fade, move, or scale the element during sticky transition for dynamic presentation.
  • Responsive Control: Turn sticky on or off separately for Desktop, Tablet and Mobile, so the element stays in its normal position on the screen sizes you choose.
  • Floating Video: Once the block scrolls out of view, the video, embed or image inside it keeps playing in a corner of the screen.
  • Floating Video Selector: Pick exactly which media floats using an ID or CSS class — handy when one block holds more than one video.
  • Floating Player Corner & Width: Dock the player to any of the four corners, and set its width separately for Desktop, Tablet and Mobile.
  • Floating Video Drag: A drag bar lets visitors move the floating player anywhere on the screen with mouse or touch.
  • Floating Video Close Button: Let visitors dismiss the floating player whenever they want.
  • Floating Video Animations: Bring the floating player in with Fade, Slide, Scale or Zoom, with an adjustable duration.

How to Use Sticky Content – Step-by-Step Guide

Getting started with Sticky Content is quick and easy!

  • Install and activate the plugin via Plugins → Add New in your WordPress dashboard.
  • In the Gutenberg editor, add the Sticky Content Block from the “Widgets” category; OR use the shortcode in classic editor, widget or template.
  • Select the element you want to stick, then in the block’s right-hand sidebar (or shortcode attributes) configure: sticky mode, trigger, offset, styling, animation (if Pro).
  • Save or update your page/post.
  • View the front-end and scroll to test: as the element hits the top (or your defined start trigger) it will enter sticky mode; if an end trigger is set, it will exit when reached.
