Widgets are now integrated into the core of WordPress starting at 2.2.
Nothing fancy. This plugin simply disables WordPress Widgets.

Use Fixed Widget to create sticky widgets, sticky blocks, and other elements that stay in the visible screen area when a user scrolls the page up or down.
Sticky widgets are more visible than unfixed widgets and therefore have a significantly higher click-through rate.
That’s why this option is worthwhile for ads or other elements that visitors should interact with. Meanwhile, Google also allows the integration of <a href="https://wpadvancedads.com/google-adsense-sticky-ads/" rel="nofollow ugc">sticky AdSense ads</a>.

Fixed Widget and Sticky Elements for WordPress

I have used this plugin on my website for the last 5+ years and it always worked very well. Updates were always stress free and never broke any layout. 

With version 6 I had some layout issues and Thomas helped me fix it. It's really hard to make a plugin compatible with the vast amount of themes out there and I would have totally understood if he didn't want to spend the time to fix my specific issue. But I was in for a pleasant surprise. 

I recommend this plugin and I wish him all the best. Thank you for your time and efforts. 

Kind regards,
Arun

Worked very well for the last 5+ years and impressive support

More attention and a higher ad performance with fixed sticky widgets.
