Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Sliding Panel
When I originally launched my theme and plugin site, Theme Hybrid, I had a sliding panel at the top of the site (no longer in use this on the site). After numerous requests for the code, I thought it'd be best to package it up as a plugin and share with the community.
The plugin adds a panel that opens and closes at the top of the site. It creates a new "sidebar" that you can add widgets to, which will fill the sliding panel.
After activating the plugin, go to the "Widgets" screen in your WordPress admin. On that page, there will be a new sidebar called "Sliding Panel". You can add any widget to that sidebar. This panel is optimized for displaying three widgets. You might need to make custom CSS adjustments for any other number of widgets.
Yes, it is responsive. However, you need to keep in mind that different designs have different breakpoints (the points where the design changes based on screen size). This plugin's breakpoints are merely based on common desktop, tablet, and phone screen sizes, which may or may not flow well with your theme's design.
Yes, the plugin supports Schema.org's microdata vocabulary. Of course, it's up to your theme to fully support microdata.
Yes, this plugin has been tested with the default WordPress toolbar both on and off. For MP6 plugin users, I've also tested with its toolbar design.
Under the "Appearance" menu in the WordPress admin, look for the "Sliding Panel" menu item. Clicking on that will take you to the settings page for the plugin and allow you to change the labels.
It's impossible for a plugin like this to be designed to appear correctly with every theme on the planet. I've done some testing with various themes to make the design work to a degree. However, you might need to write some custom CSS in your theme (or child theme) to make it look better.
This is because the sliding panel is technically sitting on top of your menu. Even if you can see the links but not click them, the panel is still there. The only way to really fix this is to adjust the CSS in your theme to move your theme's menu down. Keep in mind that something like a sliding panel at the top of the page simply won't be a good feature with every theme on every site. Something like this needs to really fit in with your design to be worth using on your site.
99.9% of the time, this is because of a JavaScript conflict. Often, it's because your theme or another plugin is doing something incorrectly. There's not really anything I can do to "fix" that. You'll need to figure out the theme/plugin causing the conflict and deactivate it.
