Sticky Block for Gutenberg Editor vs Sticky Menu & Sticky Header

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.

The WP Sticky Menu (or Sticky Header) On Scroll plugin allows you to make any element on your pages “sticky” as soon as it hits the top of the page when you scroll down. Although this is commonly used to keep menus at the top of your page to create floating menus, the plugin allows you to make any element sticky. Make a sticky header, stick menu, sticky widget (fixed widget), sticky logo, sticky call to action or a floating menu. You just need to know how to pick the right selector for the element you want to make sticky, and you need to be sure it’s a unique selector. Sometimes a simple selector like “nav”, “#main-menu”, “.menu-main-menu-1” is enough. Other times you will have to be more detailed and use a more specific selector such as “header > ul:first-child” or “nav.top .menu-header ul.main”. If you don’t like messing with any code check out out the visual element picker in WP Sticky PRO. Features Any element can stick: although common use is for navigation menus, or header the plugin will let you pick any unique element with a name, class or ID to stick at the top of the page once you scroll past it. Use it for sticky widget, sticky sidebar, sticky header, sticky menu, sticky header, sticky call-to-action box, sticky banner ad, etc. Need to make multiple elements sticky? Check out WP Sticky PRO. Positioning from top: optionally, you can add any amount of space between the sticky element 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: optionally, 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 element to be sticky on smaller screens, for example. Enable only on some pages: sometimes you don’t want the element to be sticky on the entire site. WP Sticky PRO gives you the option to pick posts, pages, categories, tags and CPTs where you don’t want the element to be sticky. Push-up element: optionally, you can pick any other element lower on the page that will push the sticky element up again (for example a sidebar widget). Admin Bar aware: checks if the current user has an Admin Toolbar at the top of the page. If it has, the sticky element 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 element, you can add a Z-index easily.
