After messing with the click boxes and margin settings, I got it to work fairly well, but not perfectly.
I clicked the “Auto fix widget id” and the “Use jQuery(window).load() hook:” boxes on, and I set the “widget_display_callback hook priority:” to 10.
I also set the “Screen Max Width” to 0, and I had to uncheck the “Inherent theme with responsive sidebar” option because that was making the sidebar spread out wide when the page was scrolled.
However, the display of the sidebar is still buggy depending on the screen width. When the screen width gets smaller, the sidebar is naturally pushed down below my content, but it “sticks” to the page and covers up the content.
I used some settings within my Total WordPress theme that hides a sidebar on smaller devices, but that didn’t stop the widget from appearing.
I gave the plugin 4 stars because I’ve seen it working really nicely on websites that DO NOT use a sticky header or responsive themes. So for a free sticky plugin, it’s great! But for someone who has limited knowledge in the back end workings of this technology, I think I’m going to have to spend the $18 for the Theia Sticky Sidebar as the author states it will work in most all responsive themes, and his preview pages seems to prove it.
