Not long ago I saw a blog site with a long article. When I scrolled the mouse on my computer screen, I found an ad on the right side of its blog. No matter how I scrolled the mouse, the ad would not disappear. This made me curious, I thought, how can I add this feature to my blog website too?

Later, I learned that floating ads that are posted on the screen when scrolling tend to have higher clickthrough rates and conversion rates than static ads, so I searched for a solution from Google, I need to install a plugin in the background of WordPress, the name is : Q2W3 Fixed Widget. Today is Sunday, I took the time to install it on my website, After activating the plugin, go to Appearance » Widgets and click on the widget that you want to make sticky. The plugin adds a Fixed Widget option in all of your widgets. Check the Fixed widget box and save changes. Go to your live site and scroll down. Your fixed widget will now be a sticky floating widget.

After a simple setup, it will work fine. Friends can try it.
