Volete creare un widget per la barra laterale fluttuante che rimanga attaccato mentre si scorre verso il basso?
I contenuti fluttuanti che rimangono sullo schermo durante lo scorrimento attirano l’attenzione e tendono ad avere un tasso di cliccato e di conversione più alto rispetto ai contenuti che rimangono nello stesso punto.
In questo articolo vi mostreremo come creare facilmente un widget fluttuante a barra laterale in WordPress.
Perché creare un widget fluttuante in evidenza per la barra laterale?
Un widget della barra laterale fluttuante in evidenza rimane sullo schermo dell’utente durante lo scorrimento. In questo modo, i visitatori hanno più tempo per notare il contenuto e per interagire con esso.
È possibile utilizzare i contenuti in evidenza per costruire una lista di email, promuovere prodotti, condividere articoli popolari, mostrare i tweet o i post di Instagram più recenti e molto altro ancora.
Ad esempio, si può trasformare il modulo di iscrizione alla newsletter in un widget in evidenza sulla barra laterale, in modo che i visitatori abbiano più tempo per iscriversi.
Molti proprietari di negozi online utilizzano anche widget per la barra laterale in evidenza per promuovere i prodotti più popolari o le offerte speciali.
Detto questo, vediamo come creare una barra laterale fluttuante in evidenza sul vostro sito web WordPress.
Aggiunta di un widget fluttuante in evidenza in WordPress
È possibile creare facilmente widget fluttuanti che rimangono in evidenza durante lo scorrimento utilizzando Fixed Widget and Sticky Elements for WordPress. Questo plugin permette di fissare qualsiasi widget in modo che rimanga sullo schermo mentre l’utente scorre la pagina verso l’alto e verso il basso.
Per prima cosa, è necessario installare e attivare il plugin Fixed Widget. Se avete bisogno di aiuto, consultate la nostra guida su come installare un plugin di WordPress.
Dopo l’attivazione, è possibile configurare alcune semplici impostazioni andando su Aspetto ” Widget corretti.
I widget per la barra laterale sono un ottimo modo per promuovere le pagine più importanti del sito, mostrare gli ultimi commenti e molto altro ancora. Tuttavia, i widget in evidenza possono diventare frustranti sui dispositivi mobili, perché in genere occupano molto spazio sullo schermo.
Detto questo, è possibile disabilitare i widget in evidenza per i visitatori mobili digitando alcuni valori in “Larghezza minima dello schermo” e “Altezza minima dello schermo”.
Si consiglia di provare alcune impostazioni diverse per vedere quale funziona meglio per il proprio sito web. Per ulteriori informazioni, consultate la nostra guida su come visualizzare la versione mobile dei siti WordPress dal desktop.
Di default, non c’è alcuna distanza tra i widget in evidenza e i lati superiore e inferiore dello schermo. Per aggiungere una spaziatura interna, è sufficiente digitare i valori che si desidera utilizzare nei campi “Margine in alto” e “Margine in basso”.
Quando si è soddisfatti della configurazione del plugin, fare clic sul pulsante “Salva modifiche” per memorizzare le impostazioni.
Dopo di che, è il momento di creare il vostro primo widget in evidenza andando su Aspetto ” Widget nell’area di amministrazione di WordPress.
Fare clic sul pulsante “+” e aggiungere il blocco che si desidera rendere in evidenza.
In questa guida, visualizzeremo gli articoli recenti in WordPress utilizzando il blocco Latest Posts, ma i passaggi saranno simili indipendentemente dal blocco utilizzato.
Per istruzioni dettagliate, consultare la nostra guida su come add-on e utilizzo dei widget in WordPress.
Dopo aver aggiunto il blocco, fare clic per selezionarlo.
Ora è possibile selezionare la casella “Widget corretto”.
A seconda del widget utilizzato, è possibile che la casella “Widget corretto” si trovi invece nel pannello dei blocchi a destra.
In questo caso, è sufficiente passare alla scheda “Impostazioni” del pannello e fare clic su “Correggi widget”.
Una volta soddisfatti dell’impostazione del widget, non dimenticate di fare clic su “Aggiorna” per renderlo attivo. Ora, se visitate il vostro sito WordPress, vedrete il widget fluttuante in evidenza in azione.
Bonus: Creare una barra footer fluttuante in evidenza in WordPress
Oltre alla barra laterale fluttuante, è possibile aggiungere al proprio blog WordPress anche una barra fluttuante in evidenza (footer).
Questa barra rimarrà visibile anche quando gli utenti scorreranno verso l’alto o verso il basso la pagina e potrà aiutare a promuovere offerte di sconto o maniglie dei media.
È possibile creare facilmente una barra footer fluttuante in evidenza con OptinMonster. È il miglior strumento di generazione di lead sul mercato, dotato di template predefiniti e di un builder trascina e rilascia.
Dopo l’attivazione del plugin, è sufficiente visitare la pagina OptinMonster ” Templates dalla dashboard di WordPress e selezionare ‘Floating Bar’ come tipo di campagna.
A questo punto, fate clic sul pulsante “Usa template” sotto un template di vostra scelta.
Si aprirà il builder di OptinMonster, dal quale è possibile personalizzare la barra del footer fluttuante secondo i propri gusti. Qui è possibile trascinare diversi elementi dal pannello di sinistra all’anteprima della barra sulla destra.
È inoltre possibile impostare regole di visualizzazione, integrarsi con un servizio di email marketing e aggiungere timer per il conto alla rovescia nella barra.
Una volta terminato, basta passare alla scheda “Pubblica” in alto e rendere attiva la barra del footer fluttuante.
Ora, visitate il vostro sito WordPress per visualizzare le modifiche in azione.

How about the whole sidebar?
Steven Denger says
Well after working for hours last night and hours today I came across this plugin thinking that I have finally got the answer to sticky sidebar widgets. But no – when I installed the plugin it did absoutely nothing! I have the latest version of WP and a good working template that has no other problems working with all the other plugins so I have no idea why this will not work.
Does anybody know how to get this plugin to work. I have just about given up on having fixed widgets. I have not won any lotteries lately to afford a developer to do it for me.
Aarohi says
Nice tutorial. Thanks!
Shane says
ALL YOU GUYS DO IS USE PLUGINS FOR EVERY SOLUTION YOU PROPOSE! Please Change the titles of posts like this to: “How to Add a Sticky Floating Sidebar Widget in WordPress with Plugins”, as you are not actually “creating” anything. you’re just using a service someone else built.
WPBeginner Support says
Our users are mostly beginners with little to no coding skills at all. Using a plugin is the safest way for them to add functionality in WordPress. From time to time we do publish articles with plugins as well as manual methods to achieve some functionality. But if we feel that manual method is too complicated for our target audience, then we show the plugin method alone. You may also want to take a look at our guide on how many plugins should you install on your WordPress site.

Camilo Buitrago says
I don’t care if they use plugins for achieving the promised result.
What I don’t like is finding that the plugins are outdated or the creator stopped updating it.
So, what I would say is: please update your content and offer new options, or put a note explaining that it is an old plugin and may not work.
Ron Robbins says
I think I smell a troll….if you don’t like their content, their are literally thousands of other sites around the web to do your “research”.
jay Boro says
It stucks the smooth scrolling of the website.. So I would say – it’s a NO use plugin. You can feel the difference when once you uninstall them
Raj says
Yeah because people who “create” do it without using anything else, just out of thin air! Everyone else deserves no respect.
Trish Sweeney says
Fantastically helpful – as always, tutorials extremely clear and easy to follow and incredibly useful. Very many thanks.
Aziz says
Thanks for articled and the Good guides as usual , just wonderting if there is any alternatives as this plugin was not updated 2 years now and causinfg some conflict
Michael Nielsen says
Same problem here. It would be great with an update to this article. I am looking around for a similar plugin but there are only a few other options and the alternatives only focus fixed sidebars and not widgets.
I really enjoyed the Q2W3 fixed widget but unfortunately it is no longer maintained.
Lyubo says
Hey guys,
I also need this plug-in for one of my blogs, but I can’t get it to work with the Genesis theme. I just updated to the latest version that they released a couple of days ago. So I did play with the settings of the plug-in, changed the margins to different values, marked and unmarked the 4 tick-offs but it won’t work. Yes I did tick-off “fix” widget on the particular widget I want to stick. What happens is at the very bottom of my page it says:
jQuery(document).ready(function(){ var q2w3_sidebar_1_options = { “sidebar” : “sidebar-alt”, “margin_top” : 110, “margin_bottom” : 120, “screen_max_width” : 0, “width_inherit” : true, “widgets” : [‘execphp-4’] }; q2w3_sidebar(q2w3_sidebar_1_options); setInterval(function () { q2w3_sidebar(q2w3_sidebar_1_options); }, 940); });
Any help would be of great help – you can email me if you want me to show you my blog, as I don’t want to paste it here so it looks as if I am looking for a backlink
Thanks in advance for any advice you might share
Dan says
Does anyone know any alternatives to this plugin? It causes all kinds of issues with the Divi and Extra themes by Elegant Themes. Bugs were reported to the dev months ago but they seem to have gone un-fixed. Time to find an alternative… suggestions?
Frank Biganski says
Conflicted with the Total WordPress theme when using the built-in sticky header in Total. When Fixed Widget was active on a page, it caused the sticky header NOT to work so my header scrolled off the page. I reported the bug to author.
Sam says
Is it compatible with Thesis ?
Cesar says
thank you bro, the plugin works like charm, this article really helpful
Anders says
Awesome! works like a charm. Thanks for sharing.
Michael says
Can you make it scroll then at the bottom have it become part of the footer? For example on this page. When you get down to the widget section have it stop and be at the top of the widgets?
Similar to how this site did there quote section. When you get to the bottom it becomes part of the footer.
Florian says
Hey there,
Unfortunately I can not get it to work.
How do I do exactly what you did on your page?
So I would like to have a banner on the bottom end of the Page with a Text in it.
Also I would like it not to show up on the phone. What is the pixel-number for that?
Thank you!
Chrissy says
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I had been seeing this around the web and wondered how to accomplish the same effect. The margin bottom option worked GREAT because it was also getting into the footer! You guys are awesome!
Umer Iftikhar says
I was in search of this Thanks wpbeginner for your help. But I have one confusion. Let’s say I want to fix the top widget. But when I did it and scrolled down, it just hided the other one which was not in the position as I wanted. Can you help me for this? Like let’s suppose when I completely scroll down the page, after all widgets, then it should start being fixed. Is that possible?
Thanks.
Nathan says
Great, thanks. I just got my WordPress site off their domain and on to my own – so now I can even use all these great plugins. I’ll surely try this out sooner or later.
Joel says
I need this to work with css and shortcodes. Planning on making a version to support this?
orangorangan says
the plugin works only for text widget, not on my custom widgets, any idea why? thanks
jen says
I tried to combine this with the ad inserter plug in and it did not work. It does not allow for the option to make ad widget sticky. Any suggestions on a fix or work around?

Worked like a charm.
Grant says
Hi I have had this plugin for a while and it works great but whenever there is a page that is shorter than my sidebar, when you try to scroll down the sticky widget which I have gets all fidgety and doesn’t let you scroll down to the bottom. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Editorial Staff says
Do you have an example of that page? Can you send us an email about it Grant, so we can take a look.

Ayush Agrawal says
Is it OK to make Adsense ads sticky? I mean if I place Adsense ad code in a widget and make it sticky will it violate the TOS?
Editorial Staff says
No that is not allowed by Adsense. The wording is tricky. They will allow it if the sidebar remains static and the content is the one that is scrolling. So if you have two scroll bars like The Next Web design has, then you can do it.
Admin
Daniel Lemes says
Hi, could you could point out where, in terms of AdSense is explicitly stated that this is illegal? I haven’t found a word about it. 9gag and many others still using this kind of floating block.
WPBeginner Support says
Like we said earlier the wording is tricky, and in some situations you may be able to pull it off. But for smaller publishers it is always better to be safe than sorry.
Pundie says
I don’t understand, you said: “They will allow it if the sidebar remains static and the content is the one that is scrolling”
Isn’t that exactly what we are trying to do here? Display AdSense in a static sidebar widget, and have our page content scrolling. Therefore you just clarified this IS allowed.
The whole double-sidebar thing you mentioned is just weird, and terrible web design.
Rednasil says
Does anybody know how to get this working for the genesis framework??
I’ve been trying with no luck.
Rednasil says
Nevermind, the last update fixed the issue
Howard Lee Harkness says
I tried this plugin on my MailChimp widget, and it doesn’t appear to do anything. It also automatically unchecks itself whenever I close the setup page.
Ayush Agrawal says
Did you press the save button ?
Grant Kessler says
Everything works beautifully until the footer of the page comes! How can I get it to stop being a fixed object when it hits the footer? There is always this terrible, sloppy, and messy, overlapping. Thank you for your time!
Editorial Staff says
In the plugin settings, you can add margin bottom. Just put the footer’s height there, and it should be fine.
