Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Sticky Header Effects for Elementor

The header cannot shrink smaller than the objects inside of it! The "shrink" effect is restricted by the size of the content in the header section. Such as logos, images, menus, widgets, and also all of the padding and margins of those elements. This also includes the padding and margins of the sections and columns themselves. To get the best "shrink" effect use these settings: * Set the top and bottom padding to 0px on your sticky header section, column, and elements inside of it. * Set a custom logo and other image height(you can leave the width blank for "auto"). * Set the header section height to "min height" and adjust it to your desired height. Basically what happens is that the content of the header is "too tall" to shrink down anymore.

No. This plugin works perfectly with Elementor Free. For navigation menus, you can use the free Nav Menu widget from The Plus Addons for Elementor. You’ll only need Elementor Pro if you're using Pro Navigation widgets.

Yes. You'll find the Sticky Header Effects panel under the Advanced Tab of every Elementor section and container. If you have Elementor Pro, it works on header templates built with the Elementor Pro Theme Builder. On Elementor Free you don't need Elementor Pro to build a custom header either: Nexter Extension includes a Free Theme Builder for headers, and the same Sticky Header Effects apply to those headers too.

No, it requires Elementor Free or Pro. It extends Elementor’s functionality with new header scroll effects.

Yes. Sticky Header Effects for Elementor Pro is a separate add-on plugin that requires this free plugin to be installed and active. It adds Display Conditions, Sticky Until (boundary control), Reveal animations, Header Replace on scroll, Logo Swap, Sticky Menu Styling, extended Backdrop Filter, Background Image on sticky, Opacity transitions, Logo Styling, and Multi-Sticky coordination. All of the free effects continue to work exactly the same with or without Pro installed.

They're unrelated products. Elementor Pro is Elementor's own premium plugin (widgets, theme builder, etc.). Sticky Header Effects for Elementor Pro is our add-on that extends this specific plugin's sticky header effects, and works with either Elementor Free or Elementor Pro.

Inside Elementor Editor → Select any container → Go to Advanced Tab → Scroll to Sticky Header Effects section.

Yes, it works well with most Elementor-optimized themes, including Hello, Nexter, Astra, and more.

Not at all. It’s highly optimized for performance and coded lightweight to ensure fast page loads.
