Making Widget Block Sticky

    I have the option in widget blocks to make sticky, but it doesn’t appear to work. Making blocks sticky on pages works perfectly, but can anyone tell me why it doesn’t work in a sidebar environment?

    I’m using Neve Pro and Otter Pro.

    Hi Josh,

    Thanks for trying out the sticky block feature. This feature is very context-sensitive, so it might not work as you expect based on your setup. We will check to see if there are any compatibility problems.

    I would appreciate the answer to the following question regarding your setup; this will help me to scope the problem better:

    • What are blocks trying to make sticky?
    • Is the block you are trying to make sticky in another container block (like Section, Group, Columns, or Tab)?
    • What options do you use? (position, behavior) (a screenshot with the options will be very helpful)

    Have a great day!

    Thanks so much for the quick response.

    • What are blocks trying to make sticky?
      • I tried a few different combinations including a paragraph block, a Section block (from Otter), and a custom plugin for a floating table of contents directly (the main aim of my goal)
    • Is the block you are trying to make sticky in another container block (like Section, Group, Columns, or Tab)?
      • I tried as many combos as I could: Inside a section & sticky the element to the parent + inside a section & stick the Section parent to the screen + not in a section & stick it to the Screen
    • What options do you use? (position, behavior) (a screenshot with the options will be very helpful)
      • I tried all variations of top/bottom/offset etc. I can make it all work perfectly if it’s a block inside the page instead of a block inside a widget, so I think I understand the functionality as it’s intended.

    Thanks for the answers!

    I made a test page with a sticky group block in the Sidebar to check the base functionality: https://recommenddowntown.s2-tastewp.com/2023/02/13/sticky-test/. If something like this can not be done on your page, then it might be 2 cases:

    • I misunderstood your context.
    • There might some plugins that blocks the functionality. (ex.: filters that remove content from widgets)

    In both cases, I will kindly need a link to the page where you are trying to add the sticky block. I will try to recreate your scenario. Also, if there is a plugin you think can affect a page, do not hesitate to mention it.

    Have a great day!

    Thanks again! So I copied your idea of using a Blog Group and that’s worked, thanks so much for your help!
