FAQ
-
What is the Fixed HTML Toolbar plugin used for?
-
The Fixed HTML Toolbar lets you add a sticky bar at the top or bottom of your WordPress site to display social media icons, important notifications, contact info, promotional banners, or any custom HTML content that should stay visible while visitors scroll.
-
Will the toolbar stay visible while users scroll the page?
-
Yes. The toolbar is sticky (CSS
position: fixed), so it remains visible at either the top or the bottom of the screen at all times, regardless of how far the visitor scrolls. -
How many icons or links can I add to the toolbar?
-
You can add up to 5 linked icons — perfect for social profiles such as Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, and TikTok — or replace them with fully custom HTML content using the built-in editor.
-
Can I show the toolbar only on specific pages or post types?
-
Yes. Under “Locations”, you can choose to display the toolbar only on selected sections of your site: homepage, posts, pages, categories, archives, or search results.
-
Can I match the toolbar style to my site’s branding?
-
Absolutely. You can customize the background color, border color, border thickness, vertical padding, and the spacing between icons. For advanced styling, you can also add your own custom CSS directly from the settings panel.
-
Is the Fixed HTML Toolbar mobile-friendly?
-
Yes. The toolbar is fully responsive and adapts to mobile screens. It is also automatically hidden when the visitor prints a web page, so it does not appear in printed copies.
-
Does it work with any WordPress theme?
-
Yes. The Fixed HTML Toolbar is theme-independent and works with virtually any modern WordPress theme (block themes, classic themes, page builders such as Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Bricks, and more) without modification.
-
Will the toolbar affect my page speed or Core Web Vitals?
-
No. The plugin is lightweight and only loads its small CSS/JS assets when the toolbar is actually displayed, keeping your PageSpeed and Core Web Vitals scores intact.
-
Why choose Fixed HTML Toolbar?
-
With its powerful customization options, easy setup, and granular display rules, the Fixed HTML Toolbar plugin keeps your most important content — social links, promotions, or alerts — in the spotlight without disrupting the user experience.
