Create Single-Page Fixed Navigational Sidebar

  • Hello!

    I’m a writer/author that’s looking to create a fixed navigational menu on the right (or left) side of a page that allows the user to click and be brought to different sections on that same page. Take Stephen King’s “The Author” page for example, where he has a menu, sort of sidebar thing that allows the user to be brought to different sections of the page. I want to implement something like this onto my “Media Appearances and Tributes” page, where the user can click and be brought to different instances that I’ve appeared in the media, likely titled by short story/poem/event, that all exist on that same page. It would be preferable if the screen scrolled up/down rather than teleported to various sections.

    When I try to research this I’m met with a lot of sidebar stuff, but I’m not sure if that’s what this is called, or if that’s what’s best for navigating through topics on the same page. I also want it to only appear on one or two pages (i.e., Media Appearances, Blogposts) and the rest of my pages to just be static.

    Any help or recommended plugins would be deeply appreciated. I’m not sure exactly where to start, or what the navigational thing on King’s site is even called.

    Thanks,

    Daniel

    Hi @danielgreenwriter ,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    This is referred to as page jumping, or anchor links, where a user is navigated to a different section of the same page when clicking the link.

    Please see the guide below on how this can be achieved:

    In your case, you can create a navigation menu on the specific page, and then create the anchor links as explained in the above documentation.

    More information on creating a navigation menu can be see in the documentation below:

    Hope this helps!

    Hello @roxannestoltz!

    Thanks for the help. However, I’m looking for something that’s “fixed” or “static” or “sticky.” I want the navigation menu to be vertical, and to scroll down with the user when the page jumps. When I implement a nav bar, it stays at the top of the page. Been having trouble figuring that out…
