Hi, thanks for trying my plugin and your kind words. 🙂
If I understand correctly, you want the element to scroll horizontally. However, that would go against the fact that it’s sticky (= stays where it is when you scroll).
Obviously, the plugin was coded in such a way that it’s more about scrolling vertically, but yeah, when the element is sticky….it’s sticky. And therefore not scrollable.
To be perfectly honest, horizontal scrolling is not something that’s considered “common” so my first thought is that you might want to look into making the site in such a way that it won’t scroll horizontally in the first place.
Can you share a link to your site so I can see the issue? Maybe I misunderstood or I can help in other ways.
Thanks!
Thanks Mark for getting right back. I actually do want it sticky…
If I am looking at my site and the page is wider than the view-screen, like on a phone, then the phone (or other) browser allows you to swipe the page left and right to see all the content. When I do that, the content of my page moves left-right as it should but the sticky column-headers do not. Because the page is showing columnar data, I cant float it under the previous column else the rows would not be aligned and therefore useless. So, I need the floating headers to float vertically but be fixed horizontally.
Maybe just a css override that I can apply? I hope I explained it well enough.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Here is a (long) URL which displays 5 columns (the max) and shows you what I mean.

I’ve created a quick add-on for you that should resolve the issue. To install, follow these steps:
1. download the plugin add-on from https://github.com/senff/sticky-menu-or-anything-custom-addon-for-tfc10r1/archive/master.zip
2. in wp-content/plugins, create a subfolder called “sticky-menu-or-anything-custom-addon-for-tfc10r1”
3. extract the contents of the zip file from step 1 into this folder
The plugin should now appear in your list of plugins in the admin, and all you need to do is activate it.
Please let me know if this helps!
Excellent! You are the best. I will try it out this weekend and let you know. So you saw the problem. Great. When there is a plugin update will custom change be overridden?
Thanks!!
No, since this is an add-on to the regular plugin, any automatic updates will not overwrite this custom fix.
Just tried it and it works great! You’re the best.
Thank you!
