Overlapping Widgets

    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:

    Thank you!

    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,

    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 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.
