• Hi there! I’ve searched the forums and been unable to find an answer to this question that I can implement successfully… I’m trying to create a fixed sidebar that will remain in place while content scrolls. I have zero CSS knowledge (though I do have some 15-year-old html knowledge), so a lot of what I’ve looked at here is really hard for me to understand.

    My website is https://www.jenniesteinberg.com

    I see two files that look like they might be my sidebar. One is sidebar-default.php and looks like this:

    <?php
    /**
     * Template part file for default sidebar.
     *
     *
     * @package Raindrops
     * @since Raindrops 0.1
     */
    ?>
    <div class="lsidebar">
    <ul>
    <?php
    	if (!dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-1')){
    		raindrops_sidebar_menus( 'default' );
    	}
    ?>
    </ul>
    </div>

    And the other is just called “Sidebar” and then says “sidebar.php” in parentheses. That code looks like this:

    <?php
    /**
    * Template part file for Sidebar.
    *
    *
    * @package Raindrops
    */
    ?>
    <div class="sidebar">
    <ul>
    <?php if (!dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-1')){ ?>
    <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2 class="h2">'. __( 'Pages', 'Raindrops').'</h2>' ); ?>
    <li><h2 class="h2"><?php _e( 'Archives', 'Raindrops' ); ?></h2>
      <ul>
        <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
      </ul>
    </li>
    <?php wp_list_categories('show_count=1&title_li=<h2 class="h2">'. __( 'Categories', 'Raindrops'). '</h2>'); ?>
    <?php /* If this is the frontpage */ if ( is_front_page() || is_page() ) { ?>
    <?php wp_list_bookmarks(); ?>
    <li>
      <h2 class="h2">Meta<?php _e( 'Meta', 'Raindrops' ); ?></h2>
      <ul>
        <?php wp_register(); ?>
        <li>
          <?php wp_loginout(); ?>
        </li>
        <?php wp_meta(); ?>
      </ul>
    </li>
    <?php } ?>
    <?php } ?>
    </ul>
    </div>

    I am using Raindrops theme.

    Which of these files do I need to modify in order to have the sidebar be fixed while website visitors scroll through text?

    Thanks,

    Jennie
