Setting an element or widget to a Fixed<\/strong> position locks it relative to the browser viewport. As visitors scroll through the page, the item remains pinned in the exact same position on the screen – making it ideal for floating action buttons, back-to-top arrows, or persistent callouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting a Fixed Position<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The navigation path depends on whether you are using Elementor v4 (Atomic Editor)<\/strong> or Elementor v3 (Widgets)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elementor v4 (Atomic Editor)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Select the element on your page canvas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. In the left panel, navigate to the Style<\/strong> tab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Click to expand the Position<\/strong> section and set the Position<\/strong> dropdown to Fixed<\/strong>.
    \"v4<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Adjust placement by entering values for Top<\/strong>, Right<\/strong>, Bottom<\/strong>, or Left<\/strong> (using units such as PX<\/code> or REM<\/code>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. (Optional)<\/em> Set the Z-index<\/strong> value to control layer stacking relative to other page elements.
    \"v4<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Elementor v3 (Widgets)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Select the widget on your page canvas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. In the left panel, navigate to the Advanced<\/strong> tab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Click to expand the Layout<\/strong> section and set the Position<\/strong> dropdown to Fixed<\/strong>.
      \"v3<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Choose your alignment using the Horizontal Orientation<\/strong> and Vertical Orientation<\/strong> toggles, then adjust the Offset<\/strong> sliders (or click and drag the element directly on the page using the drag handles).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. (Optional)<\/em> Set the Z-Index<\/strong> value to manage layering.

      Best Practices & Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n

      Fixed vs. Sticky: What’s the difference?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Fixed Position:<\/strong> Positioned relative to the user\u2019s viewport (screen)<\/strong>. The element remains in the same spot on the screen regardless of page scrolling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Sticky Position:<\/strong> Positioned relative to its parent container\/section<\/strong>. The element scrolls normally until it reaches a designated threshold, then “sticks” within the boundaries of its parent container.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
        \n

        [callout type=”note”]Custom positioning should be used selectively. Always preview your design across Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile views to ensure fixed elements do not overlap or obscure essential content on smaller screens.[\/callout]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
