Hmm… You mean like to fade up the buttons once user starts scrolling?
Yes it would be possible, but requires a little JavaScript modification in the plugin. That’s a job for a developer, and hacking the plugin is never really a good idea as it means updates to the plugin overwrite your mod.
An alternative would be to adjust the vertical position of the buttons (so they sit lower) like this: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/vertical-position-of-button/
Or, you could adjust the z-index of the buttons (using the setting for that in the plugin settings) so that it is actually layered behind your banner on the homepage.
Do you think either of the alternate solutions would work for your use-case? If you’d like help, please reply with a link to your site and I can provide further instructions.
Thanks,

Defining layers with z-index did the job! Thanks for your advice!
One more thing though…there is something weird going on with new pages that I have created. The buttons appear already slided up. So the hover action does not work on these pages. The old pages (the ones before installation of the plugin) however work fine.
Unfortunately a reinstallation or deactivation of other plugins did not help, too.
Do you have a clue what the problem is here?
Thanks again!
Sounds like a JavaScript conflict of some sort (most likely). Can you post a link here to your site so I can see the issue and check the console for errors that would give us a clue as to the culprit?
…And you may want to try switching to the default theme for testing (to check for theme conflict).
Ok, I’ve send you an email with the link to my site.
Thanks.
I’ve taken a look at your site and I can see the error in the console – jquery $ is not defined
This is a fairly common error in WordPress world… The response here on Stack Exchange is a very clear explanation of what the issue is, and it’s possible causes: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2194992/jquery-is-not-defined
My best guess in your case is that it’s your theme not loading jQuery correctly. So the Sticky Side Buttons are trying to load before jQuery is loaded, thus throwing the error as above and causing the buttons to malfunction on affected pages.
You could verify this diagnosis by switching to the default WordPress theme and testing. Do the Sticky Side Buttons work now? If yes, then we have confirmed the issue is jQuery in your theme.
Hope this helps point you in the right direction.
