February 18, 2025

A sticky header ensures that your website’s navigation remains visible as users scroll down the page. If you’re using Elementor, you can easily enable this feature without coding. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Open Your Header in Elementor

  • Go to WordPress Dashboard > Templates > Theme Builder
  • Click on Header and select the one you want to edit

Step 2: Enable Sticky Option

  • Select the header section
  • In the left panel, go to the Advanced tab
  • Under Motion Effects, find Sticky and choose Top
  • Select devices where the sticky effect should apply (Desktop, Tablet, or Mobile)

Step 3: Add Effects (Optional)

  • Enable Shrink Effect to make the header smaller when scrolling
  • Use Z-Index (set it to 999) to keep the header above other elements
  • Add a background color to enhance visibility

Step 4: Save & Test

  • Click Update and preview your page
  • Scroll down to see if the header remains fixed

Now, your Elementor header stays visible while scrolling, improving user navigation and accessibility!
