Title: Header fixed position again Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Header fixed position again * [mica123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mica123/) * (@mica123) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-fixed-position-again/) * The header fixed position was referred to on this Post [](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-bar-fixed-position-optional?replies=5) * The Cookie Law Info banner was working flawlessly until I upgraded it from 1.2.1 to 1.4.3. After the upgrade I found that the banner covered the top part of the website header. On reading the post above, I commented out the fixed position on line 86 in /js/cookielawinfo.js: //hdr_args[‘position’] = ‘fixed’; * My question is: why has the fixed position been implemented? Will my commenting out interfere with my website in any way? * Thank you. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/cookie-law-info/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cookie-law-info/) Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) * [Richard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/richardashby/) * (@richardashby) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-fixed-position-again/#post-6297547) * Hi, no that will not affect your website, all it does is remove position:fixed. I’ll add a setting to switch this on/off in the next release. * Thread Starter [mica123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mica123/) * (@mica123) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-fixed-position-again/#post-6297548) * Thanks, very much appreciated. * [Richard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/richardashby/) * (@richardashby) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-fixed-position-again/#post-6297718) * Hi, this feature has now been added- you can switch it on or off in the plugin settings. * Thread Starter [mica123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mica123/) * (@mica123) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-fixed-position-again/#post-6297719) * Many thanks for letting me know.

I upgraded the plugin to the latest version on my test site to see how it behaves. Unfortunately the same problem reappeared– the bottom of the cookie bar overlays the top of the header. I tried with both fixed position off and on to no avail. So I won’t be upgrading the plugin on my real sites yet – currently on 1.4.1 with the commented out line on position fixed in /js/cookielawinfo.js. * Thank you. * [Richard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/richardashby/) * (@richardashby) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-fixed-position-again/#post-6297747) * Hi, ok I see what you’re looking for. There are 2 parts to this: the post you referred to was asking to fix the cookie bar to the header, so that even if you scroll the page the cookie bar stays at the top: that was the feature added in 1.5.2. The second part is that you would like the header to push down the page content rather than overlay it. I’ll add that feature very soon. All the best, Richard * Thread Starter [mica123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mica123/) * (@mica123) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-fixed-position-again/#post-6297748) * Thanks very much for this. Just to make sure that there are no misunderstandings. The cookie bar displays correctly in the version I am using (not the upgraded one) – I am using the non-fixed position. In the upgraded version the bottom of the cookie bar overlays the top of the header. So what I am wondering about is what changed in the upgrade to cause this. In any case it is not the question of the header pushing down the page content – rather, it is the question of the cookie bar to be displayed above the header without overlaying the top of it. Thanks. * [Richard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/richardashby/) * (@richardashby) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-fixed-position-again/#post-6297749) * No problem- we’re talking about the same thing. The update in 1.5.2 changed the way the cookie bar is technically inserted into the web page (i.e. the way the code works), so that it has greater compatibility with other themes and plugins. A side effect of that was the way the cookie bar overlays the header content on some themes. That fix will be published soon- check the changelog for details when a new version goes out. * Thread Starter [mica123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mica123/) * (@mica123) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-fixed-position-again/#post-6297750) * Thanks very much for your excellent support. * Thread Starter [mica123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mica123/) * (@mica123) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-fixed-position-again/#post-6297780) * Hello, * it seems that the overlay problem hasn’t been fixed yet. I am still on version 1.4.1 with the commented out line on position fixed in /js/cookielawinfo.js. * Any news on the overlaproblem? * [Richard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/richardashby/) * (@richardashby) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-fixed-position-again/#post-6297781) * It’s in development and working, but I only release new versions of the plugin when I have time to support a new version and unfortunately I am extremely busy right now. It’s coming though… 🙂 * Thread Starter [mica123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mica123/) * (@mica123) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-fixed-position-again/#post-6297791) * Hello, * I know that that you haven’t released the new version of the plugin to resolve the overlay problem yet. My question is if it is safe for me to continue using version 1.4.1 with the commented out line as specifies above. Thank you. * [E R](https://wordpress.org/support/users/e-r/) * (@e-r) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-fixed-position-again/#post-6297793) * Any update on this? * I’m interested too in the header placement of the cookie bar, but without the“ sticky” component and without covering the site content (right now the sticky bar covers my main menu). I just need it to appear before / on top of my content, so it just needs to “push” the content below. * Thanks! * Thread Starter [mica123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mica123/) * (@mica123) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-fixed-position-again/#post-6297801) * Hello Richard, * it seems that the overlay problem with the header has not been fixed yet. Can I comment out something in your code to make it go away? Or can I stay safely with version 1.4.1 with the commented out part of the code? Thank you.
