Hi there,
I’ve installed the Easy Table of Contents plugin, on my Mellow theme, and affixed it the left sidebar. But I need help making it sticky, so it follows down the page as user scrolls. I’d also like to highlight it, like they do here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-build-a-node-js-application-with-docker-quickstart.
Ideally, I’d actually like to recreate the same sidebar style they have here…
Do i need any custom CSS for this to work? Currently, when I scroll beyond a certain point, the ToC just disappears completely. I’ve toggled Smooth Scroll on/off, neither one works. I’ve also inputted “#left-sidebar” into the Widget Affix Selector selector, and still nothing.
Any help appreciated!
August 31, 2020 at 11:18 am #1425535LeoStaffCustomer SupportHi there,
The leftside definitely shouldn’t disappear when scrolling.
Does the same thing happen if you just use a normal text/HTML widget with some test content in it?
August 31, 2020 at 11:23 am #1425540MattHi Leo,
When I disable the ‘affix to #left-sidebar’ stuff, it doesn’t disappear anymore, but it also does not stick (obviously).
I’ve just removed the ToC, and added a test text-only field. It doesn’t disappear, but it doesn’t stick.
August 31, 2020 at 11:42 am #1425559MattChecking this box breaks it and causes it to disappear. Leaving it unchecked doesn’t break it, but it isn’t sticky / doesn’t follow as you scroll down the page.
August 31, 2020 at 11:56 am #1425574LeoStaffCustomer SupportThat case can you check with the plugin support?
August 31, 2020 at 11:57 am #1425579MattOk
August 31, 2020 at 12:21 pm #1425601MattSide note, I think you guys should stop recommending this Easy ToC plugin… I’m searching through your Support, and many people seem to have issues with it – me included.
August 31, 2020 at 12:34 pm #1425612LeoStaffCustomer SupportIs sticky the only issue?
It would be good to see if their support would have a fix but we can probably try some CSS as well.
If you find another TOC plugin that works better than let us know ๐
August 31, 2020 at 1:38 pm #1425663MattHi Leo,
I have made a breakthrough. For some reason, it failed to stick to the left sidebar. But it works on the right sidebar. I suspect this has something to do with my container widths or something, but after all this frustration, I’m moving on.
Using Easy ToC. I guess it’s fine.
THanks.
August 31, 2020 at 1:45 pm #1425671MattNevermind… it switches from the Right sidebar to the left… I don’t know what’s happening…
August 31, 2020 at 1:49 pm #1425674LeoStaffCustomer SupportGlad to hear!
Thanks for reporting back ๐
August 31, 2020 at 2:28 pm #1425708MattLeo, can you see my most recent reply?
Why would it be that setting it to sticky, it switch from Right sidebar to Left sidebar upon scrolling? I”ve tried tweaking every container width setting I can find, but to no avail. Any help is so much appreciated, having the worst day trying to resolve this.
August 31, 2020 at 3:31 pm #1425743LeoStaffCustomer SupportI don’t believe it has anything to do with GP’s container setting.
Were you able to get some advice from the plugin author?
August 31, 2020 at 3:39 pm #1425748MattJust seems funky that it would switch from the Right sidebar to the left of my body text…
I filed a Support ticket earlier in the day but have not heard back yet. I guess I will report back if I ever hear a response…
August 31, 2020 at 3:46 pm #1425751LeoStaffCustomer SupportSo the layout of that post should be right sidebar?
The body class is showing that it’s setting to the left sidebar:
