Creating Layouts

Sticky headers using sticky positioning – B

Advanced sticky positioning scenarios require careful padding and spacing management to achieve desired visual results. Sticky elements stick to their parent’s scrollable area boundaries.

When implementing sidebar-style sticky content, use padding strategically to create proper spacing while maintaining sticky behavior. The padding placement affects both visual appearance and sticky boundaries.

Complex sticky layouts may require adjusting padding on multiple container levels to achieve the desired spacing and sticky behavior. This requires understanding the parent-child relationship in your block structure.

These advanced techniques show how WordPress’s block system can create sophisticated layout behaviors through thoughtful structure and spacing management rather than custom CSS solutions.
