Live Demo: How To Create Sticky Elements for WordPress Website without a plugin.
Step 1: To create Sticky Elements for WordPress website without a plugin, firstly you have to create a file in your theme file. To do that open your theme files with a suitable code editor which you prefer. Now create a new file here which must be a javascript file. So use the accurate extension (.js) to create the file.
Enqueueing The File:
Step 2: After creating the file the second thing is enqueueing the file in the main functiion.php file. If you won’t enqueue the file which you’ve made a moment earlier, then it’ll not be workable. So make sure to enqueueing the file. To do that open the function.php file, now write how I write it. Write the code where the script files are enqueued.
wp_enqueue_script( 'webextent-sticky-element', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/sticky-element.js', array( 'jquery' ), '', true );
You have to add there a unique ID name and you have to write everything accurately as I wrote. Now save the file.
Applying JS for the Sticky Elements:
Step 3: Now open the file which you’ve created. Here you have to use some codes. Don’t worry I’m providing my own codes, you don’t need to write any codes. Here I used a lot of functionalities, if you need more extra functionality then you just have to edit how you want to do it. If you can’t edit this let me know about it. I’ll help you to get out of this. I made a live demo of how to create Sticky Elements for WordPress Website without a plugin. You can have a look at it. You can set your own style there also by using my codes.
Notice: Here you must have a unique ID name of which elements you want to create Sticky Elements for WordPress website.
;(function($){
$(document).ready( function(){
let getHeader = $('header#site-header');
if ( getHeader.length > 0 ) {
$(window).scroll( function(){
if ( $(window).scrollTop() > 10 ) {
getHeader.css( {
position: 'fixed',
left: 0,
top: 0,
width: '100%'
} );
}else {
getHeader.removeAttr('style');
}
} )
}
} );
}(jQuery))
