<p>This plugin fixes the widget areas on WordPress widgets page on the admin backend so they always remain in view when scrolling up/down.</p>
<p>It will greatly reduce the time and effort in having to hold widgets and drag a long distance up and down.</p>
<p>Set to work from 481px and above i.e., only when the widget areas appear on the right side, in a column.</p>
<p>If you do not wish to use the plugin and want to temporarily achieve the same sticky widgets, bring up your browser’s dev tools and add this CSS to the widgets page:</p>
<pre><code>@media only screen and (min-width: 481px) {

    .widget-liquid-right {
        position: -webkit-sticky;
        position: sticky;
        top: 42px;
    }

}
</code></pre>

Admin Sticky Widget Areas

I love the idea of this plugin, but it feels like it needs a bit of polish. While position: sticky; is enticing, the scrolling behavior is not great when one or more widgets are expanded so that the widget(s) you are editing are taller than one screen. In that case, you can't scroll to see the active widget areas until you've scrolled to the bottom of the page. Using some kind of JS behavior more similar to how the default core "Edit Post" page sidebar works would make this a no-brainer 5-star plugin, and I look forward to updating my rating!

Fabulous idea. Needs polish to be useful.

A simple plugin bat it solves a problem.

A simple plugin to make the widget areas on the right side of /wp-admin/widgets.php sticky.

<h4>Summary</h4>
<p>The Gutenberg Sticky Block can be added to any Post or Page and will be sticky as soon as it hits the top of the page after you scroll down. The Sticky Block can contain any other Blocks (Paragraphs, Images, etc.), and can also be used <em>in</em> other Blocks (e.g. Column or Table).</p>
<p>The main principle is the same as my <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/sticky-menu-or-anything-on-scroll" rel="ugc">Sticky Menu (Or Anything)</a> plugin, and the basic code of that plugin has been used in this Sticky Block plugin as well. If you want to make anything sticky outside of the content area (e.g navigation menu, widgets), use the <em>Sticky Menu (Or Anything)</em> plugin instead of Sticky Block.</p>
<p>Featured BLOCK OF THE WEEK (Sep 16, 2021).</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Any Block can be added inside the Sticky Block</strong>: the Sticky Block works as a “wrapper” or “grouping” block, that can hold every other type of Block.</li>
<li><strong>The Sticky Block can be added inside other Blocks</strong>: any block that works as a “wrapper” (such as the Columns Block or the Table Block) can also hold a Sticky Block.</li>
<li><strong>Positioning from top</strong> (optional): you can add any amount of space between the Sticky Block and the top of the page, so that the element is not always stuck at the “ceiling” of the page.</li>
<li><strong>Enable for certain screen sizes only</strong> (optional): you can set a minimum and/or maximum screen size where the stickiness should work. This can be handy if you have a responsive site and you don’t want your Block to be sticky on smaller screens, for example. </li>
<li><strong>Push-up element</strong> (optional): you can pick any other element lower on the page that will push the Sticky Block up again (for example a footer, or even another Sticky Block).</li>
<li><strong>Admin Bar aware</strong>: checks if the current user has an Admin Toolbar at the top of the page. If it has, the Sticky Block will not obscure it (or be obscured by it).</li>
<li><strong>Z-index</strong>: in case there are other elements on the page that obscure or peek through your Sticky Block, you can add a Z-index easily. This will only be applied once the Block is sticky.</li>
</ul>
