Sticky Headers, Menus, Widgets, Anything! WordPress plugin that integrates sticky.js and makes your primary navigation menu and/or header sticky (will ‘stick’ to top of screen when rolled over). You can actually make html object sticky via plugin settings!

Activate and make your primary menu sticky!
Sticky means having your navigation always visible, the nav fixes itself to the top of the page.

This plugin uses the Sticky.js script, props and credit for creating that go to

More info:

This plugin is designed to work out of the box with a large number of popular themes if not all
the menu container and then manipulating the HTML tag w/ said class by way of JS

Plugins tested to work with this theme work a tad bit differently. Instead of
adding a class it uses custom js files that have the main navigational selectors
already defined. JS manipulates the menus by using the already defined tags.

This plugin has been tested on a growing number of themes including: (will work with all themes with slight settings configuration)
twentyfourteen,
twentythirteen,
twentytwelve,
twentyeleven,
responsive,
wp-foundation,
required-foundation,
neuro,
Swtor_NeozOne_Wp,
lowermedia_one_page_theme,
expound,
customizr,
sixteen,
destro,
swift basic

*Some CSS edits may be required

FAQ

Can I make Widgets sticky?

Yes, you can make anything sticky! Set the widget’s (or whatever else’s) ID or Class in the primary or additional sticky object box setting on the under Settings -> Sticky.js Menus

I am using one of the themes this plugin was tested to work on but it’s not working.

Please make sure your child theme has the same header navigation HTML syntax as the parent theme, this plugin is made to work with the latest iteration of the parent theme.

My menu does not stick to the top of the page, there is some space between the menu and top of the page.

Some theme styles or template styles may have overwritten the default styles, the site owner may have to tweak their own css to for ideal display.
