Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity.

Overview

About this plugin

Sticky Postbox is a piece of code written few years ago as exercise to learn how WordPress handles administration meta boxes’s availables statuses (closed, hidden and sortings).

This very lightweight plugin adds the sticky feature to administration meta boxes allowing them to be sticky at top right corner of the browser window.

Only one meta box can be sticky at once, so a new sticky meta box unstick the current one (if there is one).

Basic Features

  • Per-user settings.
  • Multisite support.

Usage

Once the plugin is installed and activated you can sticky administration meta boxes using sticky icon (it appears on the top right corner of each box).
