Sticky Block for Gutenberg Editor vs Sticky Content – keep any section visible while visitors scroll

Summary The Gutenberg Sticky Block can be added to any Post or Page and will be sticky as soon as it hits the top of the page after you scroll down. The Sticky Block can contain any other Blocks (Paragraphs, Images, etc.), and can also be used in other Blocks (e.g. Column or Table). The main principle is the same as my Sticky Menu (Or Anything) plugin, and the basic code of that plugin has been used in this Sticky Block plugin as well. If you want to make anything sticky outside of the content area (e.g navigation menu, widgets), use the Sticky Menu (Or Anything) plugin instead of Sticky Block. Featured BLOCK OF THE WEEK (Sep 16, 2021). Features Any Block can be added inside the Sticky Block: the Sticky Block works as a “wrapper” or “grouping” block, that can hold every other type of Block. The Sticky Block can be added inside other Blocks: any block that works as a “wrapper” (such as the Columns Block or the Table Block) can also hold a Sticky Block. Positioning from top (optional): you can add any amount of space between the Sticky Block and the top of the page, so that the element is not always stuck at the “ceiling” of the page. Enable for certain screen sizes only (optional): you can set a minimum and/or maximum screen size where the stickiness should work. This can be handy if you have a responsive site and you don’t want your Block to be sticky on smaller screens, for example. Push-up element (optional): you can pick any other element lower on the page that will push the Sticky Block up again (for example a footer, or even another Sticky Block). Admin Bar aware: checks if the current user has an Admin Toolbar at the top of the page. If it has, the Sticky Block will not obscure it (or be obscured by it). Z-index: in case there are other elements on the page that obscure or peek through your Sticky Block, you can add a Z-index easily. This will only be applied once the Block is sticky.

Keep your most important content – headers, menus, banners, and call-to-action boxes – in view while visitors scroll, with a simple Gutenberg block. Sticky Content | Demos | Pricing Why Sticky Content? Content that scrolls out of sight stops working for you. Sticky Content turns any element on your site sticky with ease – any block, widget, or section can remain visible, or appear and disappear, as users scroll down the page. It’s perfect for sticky headers, sidebars, banners, call-to-action boxes, or any element you want to keep in view. The plugin works with the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg), and shortcodes let you add sticky elements anywhere on your site. The free version covers simple sticky effects, while the Pro version adds advanced triggers, transitions, and layout controls. Sticky Content is optimized for performance and compatible with all themes and builders, helping you design layouts that keep important elements visible for better user engagement. Free Features Universal Shortcodes & Block: Insert via the Gutenberg block (in the “Widgets” category) or a shortcode in posts, pages, and widgets. Sticky Mode: Elements become fixed once they hit the top of the page. Top Position Offset: Set a 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. Pro Version Upgrade to Sticky Content Pro for the full suite of sticky capabilities: 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. Horizontal & Vertical Positions: Set fixed offsets using % units for precise placement. Separate Backgrounds: Distinct styling for static vs sticky states. Border, Border Radius & Shadow: Style main and sticky states independently. Z-Index Control: Ensure the sticky element sits above (or below) other content. Stick Within Container: Confine sticky behavior to a specific section via a custom selector. Scroll Trigger (px): Define how many pixels of scroll before the stick effect begins. Transition Animations: Fade, slide, scale, zoom (or none) for smooth transitions.
