 * Good morning,
 * Since WordPress 6 was released a year ago, we haven’t been able to use the Fixed
   Widget functionality, as the widgets (on the right of our site) keep overlapping
   our theme (more specifically our bar menu and footer). I installed the latest
   version of the plugin and tested it, but it still doesn’t work. Maybe there’s
   something wrong with our settings?
 * After doing some tests today, I also realized that when I check the “fixed” option
   for our widgets, it makes the poll in our 2nd widget disappear. Right now obviously
   we have to keep the widgets “un-fixed”, but we would love to have that functionality
   back. Is there anything we can do to fix these issues?
 * I took a video for you to see, we can even see the poll being there at first 
   and then disappearing with the scrolling. That, and the overlapping:

 * Hi wireofhope,
 * thanks for reaching out.
 * Could I ask you to enable the “Improved Version” in the Fixed Widget settings
   and let me know if that changes anything?
 * Thanks,
    Thomas

 * Hi [@webzunft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webzunft/),
 * The “improved version” in the settings is enabled and was enabled when I filmed
   the video 🙁
 * Thank you!

 * Hey Elodie,
 * we believe that you might have set the wrong stop selector.
 * It seems to be `#footer-widgets clear-fix` but you should try `.footer-widgets`.
 * Please let me know if this works better.
 * Thanks,
    Thomas

 * Thanks [@webzunft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webzunft/) for the suggestion!
   The poll in our 2nd widget doesn’t disappear anymore but the overlapping issue
   still remains unfortunately 🙁

 * Hello Elodie,
    I reviewed your problem and found that, unfortunately, Fixed Widget**
   Improved Version** does not work properly with your markup.
 * I suggest you to change CSS rules of your page a bit:
    1. Remove `float: left;`
   rule for `.main-container` 2. Remove `float: right;` rule for `.sidebar-right`
   3. Add `display: flex;` rule for `.main-content` 4. Add `position: sticky; top:
   0;` rule for `.sidebar-right`
 * That’s all, now you can deactivate Fixed Widget, your right sidebar will be fixed.
