Basic Sticky Header<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Find the CSS ID for your top section (e.g., <code>#section-123<\/code>) and use this code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CSS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code has-background\" style=\"background-color:#cc66ff\"><code>#section-123 {\n  position: sticky !important;\n  top: 0 !important;\n  z-index: 999 !important;\n  background-color: #ffffff !important;\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Sticky Floating Button (Mobile)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Want a &#8220;Call Now&#8221; button that stays at the bottom of the phone screen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CSS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code has-background\" style=\"background-color:#cc66ff\"><code>@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {\n  .floating-button {\n    position: fixed !important;\n    bottom: 20px !important;\n    right: 20px !important;\n    z-index: 1000 !important;\n  }\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Adding a &#8220;Shadow&#8221; to the Sticky Header<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes the header look like it is floating above the rest of the content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CSS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code has-background\" style=\"background-color:#cc66ff\"><code>.sticky-header-class {\n  box-shadow: 0 4px 6px -1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) !important;\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Avoid &#8220;Z-Index&#8221; Issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you make something sticky, it might sometimes hide behind other images or videos on the page. This is a <strong>Z-Index<\/strong> problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Think of Z-Index as layers of paper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your sticky header needs to be the &#8220;top layer.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always set your sticky element&#8217;s <code>z-index<\/code> to a high number like <code>999<\/code> to keep it on top of everything else.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Practices for Sticky Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep it Small<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A sticky header should not take up half the screen. Keep it thin so there is plenty of room for the user to read your main content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Transparency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes a 100% solid color header can feel heavy. Try using a slightly transparent background (RGBA) so the user can see the content moving behind the header.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mobile Testing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On a phone, a sticky header can take up a lot of space.
