Floaty Header – Easy Sticky Header, Sticky Menu & Announcement Bar

Floaty Header is a lightweight and flexible sticky header plugin that helps you fix any element to the top of the page when scrolling — be it your header, navigation, or an announcement bar. Perfect for improving user navigation, increasing visibility of key elements, and maintaining branding on long pages.

⚡ New: Sticky on Scroll Up

With the sticky on scroll up feature, your header or navigation remains hidden while users scroll down and only becomes visible when they scroll up. This keeps your site clean, uncluttered, and content-focused while still providing easy access to navigation. This functionality is fully customizable for desktop and mobile, giving you precise control over when and where the sticky header appears.

To make any element sticky, simply enter its CSS selector — whether it’s header, #site-header, .main-navbar, or more specific elements like header > div.logo-wrap or .top-bar nav.primary ul.menu. No coding required!

✨ Features

⬆️ Sticky on Scroll Up – Keep your header hidden while scrolling down and reveal it when users scroll up for better UX and unobstructed content.

🎨 Scroll Transition Effects – Smooth Fade or Slide animations when your header becomes sticky.

🖌️ Custom Sticky Background & Text Color (Mobile & Desktop) – Independently style your sticky header for both mobile and desktop with live color pickers.

📏 Offset Control – Set the scroll distance before your header sticks to the top.

📱 Mobile-Friendly Control – Option to disable sticky behavior on mobile devices.

📢 Sticky Announcement Bar Support – Make any announcement bar sticky for promotions or alerts.
