How to make a widget sticky in blogger sidebar?
Here are some of the easy methods to make a widget sticky in the blogger sidebar-
• Sign in to your blogger dashboard and select the blog where you want to make change (in case you have multiple blogs attached)
• Scroll down and click on the Layout tab
• Now you will have the layout of your blog. Just choose the sidebar widget (or the widget you want) you want to make sticky (in our case, it is Facebook like widget)
• Just copy the name of the widget (to be precise the title; in our case, it is “like us on Facebook”)
• Now move the tab called Template and choose Edit HTML option to move to the blog code.
• In the editor, do a ctrl+F and search the name of the widget you want to make sticky (which you copied). In my case, it is “Like us on facebook”.
• Once you will find that widget in the code, copy the ID of the widget. Usually, it will be something like HTML5 or HTML6 etc. Copy it!
• Again do a ctrl+F and search for </head>
• Now paste the below code above the </head> tag and change the widget ID with the ID you copied-
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
var ks_widget_top = $('#widget Id').offset().top;
var ks_sticky_widgets = function(){
var ks_current_top = $(window).scrollTop();
if (ks_current_top > ks_widget_top) {
$('#widget Id').css({ 'position': 'fixed', 'top':0, 'z-index':999999 });
} else {
$('#widget Id').css({ 'position': 'relative' });
}
};
ks_sticky_widgets();
$(window).scroll(function() {
ks_sticky_widgets();
});
});</script>
Make sure to replace the Widget ID with the ID you copied in earlier steps. One more thing you should note here is, if your blog already has the ajax.googleapis.com then don’t paste the below line else it won’t work.
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Now just save your code and you are good to go. Check your blog and the widget you have made sticky will be showing even when you will scroll to the bottom.
