Questions

The buttons do not appear on my website. How can I fix this?

If the buttons don’t appear, it’s often due to caching. Follow these steps to resolve the issue:

  1. Clear your browser cache – Press Ctrl + Shift + R (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + R (Mac) to reload without cache.
  2. Clear your WordPress cache – If you’re using a caching plugin (like WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, or LiteSpeed Cache), clear the cache from its settings.
  3. Purge server cache – If your hosting uses caching (e.g., Cloudflare, SiteGround, Nginx), clear the cache from your hosting control panel.
  4. Disable caching temporarily – If the issue persists, deactivate your caching plugin temporarily and verify whether the buttons appear.

Buttons are visible only to administrators, not regular users. Why?

Check if “Test Mode” is enabled. When Test Mode is activated, sticky buttons are visible only to site administrators and not to regular visitors.

Can I change the position of the sticky buttons?

Yes! You can easily position the buttons on the left, right, top, or bottom of the screen from the plugin settings.

Can I display buttons only on certain pages?

Yes! In the Lite version, you can:
– Show buttons sitewide (on all pages).
– Insert buttons manually using the shortcode [Sticky-Buttons id="1"] to display them only on specific pages or posts.

In the Pro version, you gain advanced controls to display buttons based on categories, post types, specific pages, user roles, and more.

Can I use multiple sets of buttons on the same page?

Absolutely! You can create and display multiple sets of sticky buttons simultaneously. Each set can be individually configured and controlled.

How does the “Mobile Rules” (Double Click) feature work?

On touch devices, there is no “hover” state. When Mobile Rules is enabled:
1. First Click: Displays the button’s label so the user can see what the button does.
2. Second Click: Opens the link or triggers the action.
If the user doesn’t click a second time, the label automatically hides after 3 seconds.

What is the difference between Fixed, Absolute, and Static positions?

  • Fixed (Sticky): Buttons “float” over the content and stay visible while scrolling.
  • Static: Buttons are placed directly where you insert the shortcode (e.g., inside a post or page content).
  • Absolute: Buttons are positioned relative to the nearest parent container, useful for specific layout designs.

How can I use Tags to organize my menus?

Tags allow you to group your menus (e.g., “Promo”, “Social”, “Contact”). You can assign a tag in the menu settings and then use the filter at the top of the menu list to quickly find all sets belonging to that category.
