Using Widgets as Sidebar

By Liekel Boer, 7 years ago. Last reply by Alex S, 7 years ago.

Dear SiteOrigin,

First of all, thanks for making such great ‘free’ available content. Especially the page builder, which is very one of the best plugins arround.

Maybe someone can help me with the following:

I am trying to make a sidebar that sticks while scrolling down.

So I am able to make a sidebar with the theme Vantage and inserting a widget ‘sidebar’.

Als by installing the Stiky for SiteOrigin plugin I am able to make any widget sticky. All widgets, except my ‘theme’ widget (the side bar).

Is there any way to do this?

Best regards,

Liekel

    Hi Liekel,

    I would recommend using Sticky Menu (or Anything!) on Scroll instead. Once installed, please navigate to WP AdminSettingsSticky Menu (or Anything!) and input #secondary into the Sticky Element field. Switch to the Advanced Settings tab and set the z-index to 600 and add .site-footer to the Push-up element field.

    Hi Alex

    Thanks for the quick and adequate response.

    If the website runs I will remember SiteOrigin and see if I can purchase your theme/plugin.

    kind regards,

    Hi Alex,

    Maybe you can help me another time:

    I am working on the following issue.

    First, I included a small logo in the menu. Second, I made the menu ‘sticky’ so when scrolling down it stays on top of the page.

    Now because of the logo size, the menu ‘falls’ over the first few lines in my text when linking it to costum (page/anchor)link. By using the very usefull CustomCSS SiteOrigin plugin & searching in this forum I was able to solve that issue.

    But now a small minor issue arrised. When loading the page, the top-menu loads lasts, showing a small jump to its right position. Is there a way to let the page load the correct orrientiation of the menu right away?

    The website I am working on is: (product-informatie is the only page with working pagejumps)

    https://wereldsgroen.nl/product-informatie/

    Down is my adjusted CustomCSS record:

    *[id]:before {
    display: block;
    content: ” “;
    margin-top: -115px;
    height: 115px;
    visibility: hidden;
    }

    #masthead.masthead-logo-in-menu .logo > img.logo-no-height-constrain {
    position: absolute;
    top: 115px;
    }

    #masthead.masthead-logo-in-menu .main-navigation {
    height: 100px;
    }
