What’s new in Sticky Header on Scroll 1.3
Version 1.3 · May 2, 2023

What it does
On long pages, visitors often have to scroll all the way back up to find the menu. This plugin solves that by placing a sticky header at the top of the screen that stays visible while people read and scroll. Your navigation links, including multi-level menus with dropdowns, are always one click away. It works without editing your theme files, so you can add the header to an existing site without touching template code.
All setup happens in the WordPress Customizer, where you see changes in real time. You can set the header height, add a logo, choose colors, attach a menu and switch individual header elements on or off. The design is responsive and retina ready, so the header looks sharp on desktops, tablets and phones. The plugin ships with lightweight CSS and JS files, which suits site owners who want a simple navigation upgrade.
Best for
- Content-heavy blogs and magazines with long scrolling pages
- Business sites that want the menu always visible
- Freelancers adding sticky navigation to client sites
