Puckettwork’s Super Simple Sticky Sidebar adds a fixed-position panel to the left or right edge of your site. It stays visible as visitors scroll, making it ideal for calls to action, contact info, announcements, or navigation links. Very Simple but effective for anything that needs a static menu or text links (or ads) attached to the left or right of the screen. I was creating an online manual and wanted the table of contents with section links to stay on the left side of the screen as the user scrolled through the manual. This plugin allows the links to remain on the screen at all times so the user can jump to a particular section in the manual. I thought it may be useful since I couldn’t find anything like it so I created a plugin to do the job.
Puckettwork’s Super Simple Sticky Sidebar has a good selection of configurable settings like color, position, transparency, size and offsets. That should be enough to customize it to your needs. Settings can be found under the menu Settings–>puckettworks simple sticky sidebar.

Floating Product Category for WooCommerce adds a sticky category panel to your online store. Shoppers tap a floating button to open a full product category menu from anywhere on your site — shop pages, product pages, blog posts, or landing pages.
Help customers find products faster, reduce bounce rate, and improve WooCommerce navigation without touching your theme or writing code.
<h4>Why use a floating category sidebar?</h4>
Most WooCommerce themes bury category links in the main menu or hide them on mobile. A floating category button keeps your product catalog one click away on every page, which helps shoppers discover categories they might otherwise miss.
<h4>Key features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Floating sticky category button — fixed on the left or right edge of the screen</li>
<li>Slide-out category panel — opens over the page without a full reload</li>
<li>Unlimited sub-category nesting — accordion expand/collapse for deep category trees</li>
<li>In-panel category search — filter long category lists instantly</li>
<li>Active category highlighting — shows the current category and auto-expands its branch</li>
<li>Breadcrumb trail — context on category and shop archive pages</li>
<li>Display targeting — all pages, shop & product pages only, or everywhere except Cart & Checkout</li>
<li>Remembers open/closed state — panel state persists as shoppers browse</li>
<li>Two layouts — simple text list or category cards with thumbnail images</li>
<li>Product count — optional count next to each category name</li>
<li>Product tags & brands — optional flat lists below categories (WooCommerce Brands supported)</li>
<li>Preserve shop filters — optionally keep price and rating filters when switching categories</li>
<li>Keyboard accessible — Escape to close, click-outside to close, ARIA states</li>
<li>Fully customizable — colors, position, layout, and behavior via the WordPress Customizer</li>
<li>No theme changes — works with any WooCommerce-compatible theme</li>
</ul>
<h4>Perfect for</h4>
<ul>
<li>WooCommerce stores with large or deeply nested product category structures</li>
<li>Shops that want mobile-friendly category navigation without a hamburger menu rebuild</li>
<li>Store owners who need category access on non-shop pages (home, blog, landing pages)</li>
<li>Sites using product tags or WooCommerce Brands alongside categories</li>
</ul>
<h4>Customization</h4>
All settings live in Appearance → Customizer → Floating Product Category. Change background and text colors, button style, float position (left or right), layout, category order, maximum depth, empty-category visibility, and where the panel appears — with live preview.
<h4>Performance</h4>
The category tree is built from a single cached query, so large catalogs stay fast even with many parent and child categories.
