 * Hello,
 * I think it would benefit the plugin to have a Start Element. I’d like the widget
   to stick only upon reaching a certain point in the post/page.
 * Margin top/bottom of window won’t work because post content length is dynamic.
 * I’m thinking maybe a specific div tag can be manually entered into a point in
   a post/page, where the widget begins to stick only once user scrolls to that 
   point.
 * Alternative way to achieve this could be to apply a fixed margin/distance from
   the bottom of the article/content container (i.e. widget will begin sticking 
   400px before the bottom of the article/content container).
 * Is there a hacky way to achieve this in the current version?
 * Thanks.

 * Hey homelesshenry,
 * thanks for reaching out.
 * The fixed feature starts when the element that is fixed reaches the top of the
   page or a margin defined from the top.
 * I don’t understand how this behavior could be related to another element.
    E.
   g., let’s say there is a way to say that element A becomes sticky when element
   B reaches a certain point on the page. But what happens when element A is already
   out of sight? Would you then have it appear again on the screen in a fixed position?
 * Thanks,
    Thomas

 * Hi Thomas,
 * I hadn’t thought it through much, but that was my initial thought as well.
 * Element A has been scrolled past out of sight, the checkpoint/Element B is reached
   and Element A then appears fixed to scroll at the top.
 * Because sometimes you want a widget or ad to appear and then stick only near 
   the end of the article/page.
 * Healthline is sort of doing something similar, although it’s with several sticky
   widgets that appear to be using height yet its dynamically spaced apart throughout

 * Thanks homelesshenry, I will add it to our ideas list. Right now, we try to get
   6.0.0 stable for as many users as possible before going back and thinking about
   new features.
