New in 2.0.0: Joomla 6 & PHP 8.4 support, jQuery-free

Keep Your Sidebar in View, All the Way Down the Page

Joomla Sticky Sidebar makes any sidebar or vertical column stick in view as visitors scroll — so your menus, ads, and calls to action stay visible instead of disappearing off-screen.

What’s New in 2.0.0

A full rebuild for the current Joomla and PHP versions, with a smoother sticky effect.

Joomla 5 & 6, PHP 8.1–8.4

Rebuilt on Joomla’s modern namespaced plugin architecture, so it runs cleanly on the current Joomla and PHP releases.

No More jQuery

The sticky engine is now plain, modern JavaScript with a native resize observer — one less script your site has to load.

Smoother Sticking

Fixed an edge case where the sidebar could briefly stop sticking partway down a long scroll — it now stays pinned exactly where you set it, the whole way through.

Updating from 1.1.0? Install the new version the same way as any Joomla extension update. Your existing settings carry over automatically — nothing to reconfigure. Still on Joomla 3 or 4? Version 1.1.0 remains available — contact us for the download link.

Why Sticky Sidebar Is Awesome

Built for performance, not just for effect.

No unnecessary recalculation

Only the dimensions that actually changed are recalculated on scroll — not the whole layout.

Smooth, no scroll jank

No layout thrashing or page reflows while scrolling, so the sidebar moves smoothly even on longer pages.

Auto-adjusts on resize

A built-in resize observer recalculates dimensions automatically whenever the sidebar or its container changes size.

Hooks for your own code

Fires an event on each sticky-state change, so developers can hook custom behavior to particular situations.

Handles tall or short sidebars

Works correctly whether the sidebar is taller or shorter than the surrounding content.

Zero dependencies

No jQuery, no external libraries to load — and simple to set up from the plugin’s own settings.

Get Started in Three Steps

No coding needed. Everything is set up from your Joomla admin panel.

1

Install & Enable

Upload the plugin zip through Extensions → Manage → Install, then enable it under Plugins → System.

2

Point It at Your Sidebar

Enter your sidebar and container CSS selectors, top/bottom spacing, and a minimum screen width in the plugin’s own settings.

3

Fine-Tune (Optional)

Turn resize auto-detection on or off, add your own CSS class or styles, and choose which pages it runs on.

Common Questions

Does this plugin still need jQuery?

No. As of version 2.0.0, the sticky engine is plain JavaScript with a native resize observer — no jQuery or any other library required.

Which Joomla and PHP versions are supported?

Version 2.0.0 supports Joomla 5 and Joomla 6, on PHP 8.1 through 8.4. If you’re still on Joomla 3 or 4, version 1.1.0 remains available — contact us for the download link.

I’m updating from version 1.1.0. Will my settings still work?

Yes. Install the new version the same way as any Joomla extension update, and your existing settings (selectors, spacing, custom CSS, and so on) carry over automatically.

Can I use it with more than one sidebar?

Yes, the plugin supports multiple sidebars on the same site.

Can I turn it off on mobile?

Yes, set a minimum screen width in the plugin settings and it will not activate below that width.
