Sidebar is a sidebar containing content such as Category articles, new articles, new products, etc. Sidebar is usually located to the left or right of the main content. Using the sidebar helps the website to easily navigate customers to the important links in the Website. This also means helping customers can quickly go to other content more easily.
However, there are cases where the main content is too long, while the sidebar content is limited. Therefore, when the viewer scrolls down to see the content, the sidebar will be pushed up. At this point, the sidebar will display an unbalanced look. Moreover, when customers want to move to other content, they have to scroll back up.
To solve this, we can make the sidebar content stand still, even if the main content is long, the sidebar will always show up. Both beautify the website as well as help viewers easily see the important content.

To make the sidebar stand still, we can use the plugin Q2W3 Fixed Widget . This is a free plugin with over 100,000 actives. Install and activate it from the plugin settings page.
Using this plugin is very simple. When you add a Widget to the sidebar, it will show a Fixed widget option . If you want any widget to stay still, select it.

Due to the limited screen height, if there are many widgets, which one is important, you should put it at the bottom, it will appear when you drag the content down.
With just a simple step, we have a stationary sidebar outside the page very easily.
To avoid sidebar content being covered by the header or footer, you should keep it spaced from the top and bottom edges. By going to the menu Appearance > Fixed Widget Options and customize the Margin Top and Margin Bottom accordingly.
