Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Sticky Menu & Sticky Header

Sure, WP Sticky PRO has that option. You can make as many elements sticky as you like and configure settings individually for each element.

First, make sure that if you select the element by its class name, it is preceded by a dot (e.g. ".main-menu"), and if you select it by its ID, that it's preceded by a pound/hash/number sign (e.g. "#main-menu"). Also, make sure there is only ONE element on the page with the selector you're using. If there is none, or more than one element that matches your selector, nothing will happen. Once the element becomes sticky, it's not positioned/sized properly at all. Due to the nature of CSS, there are situations where an element will not stick properly, usually if it has specific properties that are used to manipulate its location and/or dimensions. If your sticky element has any of the following properties, this could cause conflicts: negative margins absolute positioning top/left/bottom/right properties "display: inline" "!important" applied to any of its properties Try to avoid all this where possible, but if you can't, using the plugin in Legacy Mode (see below) helps sometimes. Another situation that can cause trouble, is when any parent of your sticky element has the "transform" CSS property applied to it. Once the element becomes sticky, it's not responsive and doesn't resize when I change the browser size. This is a known (and annoying) bug in the plugin that I haven't been able to solve properly yet. For some sites (when the element does not contain any JavaScript interactivity, usually), it sometimes helps to use the plugin in Legacy Mode (see below).

To add styles to your sticky element when it's not sticky, use class name ".element-is-not-sticky". To add styles to your sticky element only when it's sticky, use class name ".element-is-sticky" The following code would give your element a red background only when it's not sticky, and blue only when it is: .element-is-not-sticky { background: red; } .element-is-sticky { background: blue; } Once the element becomes sticky, there's a brief moment where you see it twice. If you're using the plugin in Legacy Mode (see below), this happens when the sticky element (or any of its contents) has a CSS transition applied to it. Because the original element becomes invisible (and a cloned copy of it becomes visible), the visible-to-invisible status change will take place with a transition (ie. not instantly). Either remove any of the transitions the element has, or try disabling the Legacy Mode.

Check the "Debug Mode" checkbox in the plugin's settings. Reload the page and you may see errors in your browser's console window. If you've used a selector that doesn't exist, OR there are more of them on the page, you will be notified of that in the console.

The current version only allows one sticky element, but this functionality will be implemented in the next major version. No expected release date, though.
