<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.

Sticky Posts – Switch

Thank you for sharing your work. I was looking for a way my editors could stick a post in a featured spot in the homepage and found this simple tool to do it flawlessly. It's easier than stick a post in the edit post screen or through quick edit, you just have to tick it once. So neat.

Handy and simple

Saved me a few hours! Thank you very much!

Good!

I was just getting ready to implement this myself. Very happy you saved me the trouble! The ability to click the stars in the admin interface is also a super nice addition. Wonderful work! Thank you so much!

PRO tip: Although, I couldn't find it documented anywhere, as a developer you can get a list of all the sticky posts with get_option('sticky_posts')

much developer love

Really the plugin is very helpful that saves me 10 hours of work!



Just Awesome!


I'd hate to leave a negative review, but the owner turned off the support function and provides no method to contact.  The Plugin Works, but it doesn't respect Custom Post Types.  All Stickies in the Posts section become stickies in all other custom post types.  So in our case a Posts Sticky is now showing in our CPT "Forums"


No Support, and Plugin Doesn't Work With CPT

This plugin adds a sticky post switch functionality to the admin list post/custom post type pages.
