Sticky Content – keep any section visible while visitors scroll vs Syntax-highlighting Code Block (with Server-side Rendering)

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. Duration, Delay & Easing: Fine-tune animation timing and curves for natural motion. Opacity & Transform Control: Fade, move, or scale the element during the sticky transition. How to Use Install and activate the plugin via Plugins → Add New in your WordPress dashboard. In the Gutenberg editor, add the Sticky Content Block from the “Widgets” category – or use the shortcode in the classic editor, a widget, or a template. Add the content you want to stick, then configure sticky mode, trigger, offset, styling, and animation (Pro) in the block’s right-hand sidebar or shortcode attributes. Save or update your page. View the front end and scroll to test – the element enters sticky mode when it hits the top (or your defined start trigger) and exits at the end trigger if set. Use Cases Sticky Menus & Headers: Keep navigation available on long pages. Call-to-Action Boxes: Hold signup or buy buttons in view while visitors read. Sidebars: Pin widgets so they follow the reader down the page. Banners & Notices: Keep announcements visible as users scroll. Feedback Did you like this plugin? Dislike it?

This plugin extends the Code block in WordPress core to add syntax highlighting which is rendered on the server. Pre-existing Code blocks on a site are automatically extended to include syntax highlighting. Doing server-side syntax highlighting eliminates the need to enqueue any JavaScript on the frontend (e.g. Highlight.js or Prism.js) and this ensures there is no flash of unhighlighted code (FOUC?). Reducing script on the frontend improves frontend performance, and it also allows for the syntax highlighted code to appear properly in AMP pages as rendered by the official AMP plugin (see also ampproject/amp-wp#972) or when JavaScript is turned off in the browser. This extended Code block uses language auto-detection to add syntax highlighting, but you can override the language in the block’s settings sidebar. (There is currently no syntax highlighting of the Code block in the editor, but see #8.) The plugin supports all programming languages that highlight.php supports (being a port of highlight.js). The Code block also is extended to support specifying lines to highlight which get marked up with mark elements (including in RSS feeds). There is also a checkbox for whether to show line numbers on the frontend (with the numbers being non-selectable). Lastly, given inconsistencies across themes regarding whether lines in a Code block should be wrapped, this plugin adds styling to force them to no-wrap by default, with a checkbox to opt in to wrapping when desired.
