Sticky Element

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Tried with salient theme based website and it didn’t work. Tried using through class as well as ID but no change. There is no effect of this plugin on my pages.

   I installed this a while ago, possibly even before WordPress v4.0. It worked great, did exactly what I needed it to do, but it has caused an unfortunate bug. Every time I changed the size of my browser, my whole site would refresh. When I first installed a theme I assumed the refresh was part of the theme. Hopefully it will get fixed, but as of writing this is has been 7 months since the last update and it seems doubtful.

   I tried Q2W3 Fixed Widget, Sticky Menu (or Anything!) on Scroll, and myStickymenu but this plugin seemed to work well. Works right out of the box and seems less bloaty and glitchy than the other three. I am using it for a sticky widget sidebar. Was using Q2W3 for many years, however, with my new website it was conflicting with way too many plugins and it hasn’t been updated by plugin author for almost a year.

   Great plugin — it just works out of the box. I’m using this plugin to make a sidebar widget sticky.

   Very simple and easy plugin. Stew (the author) provides tremendous support. One note that I missed in the install, you must enter an element that pushes the sticky upward for it to work correctly.
