I am an interface designer, and I made an idea like this and presented it to a client and she loved it. I thought it would be impossible since I know nothing about hard coding, but glad I found this. Thank you very much.

[@WickyDesign]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

@@WickyDesign but unfortunately, this does not work anymore in the latest version.

[@WickyDesign]

I just tested with Elementor 3.6.1 and Elementor Pro 3.6.4 and the code still works. The new version has the Flexbox Container active by default in the Experiments settings. Try to disable Flexbox Container in Elementor/Settings/Experiments.

The thing I have is that the sticky sidebar remains sticky even when the section is done. I mean when I create a new section with one column the sidebar keep scrolling until the footer section. How can I solve this? I use hello theme.

I have Astra theme and Elementor PRO but I had some issues at first but then I put the code also in the astra theme css options and it works thanks guys, it´s great!!

[@Dannydekker87]

I tried putting the css in Astra and on the page (elementor pro) and made it a fresh inner column so not to have "sticky" from previous parts in it. still doesnt work for me.

It doesn't work any more since some weeks for me, i guess with new updates (php maybe?). The section is not sticky anymore and It's breaking now things inside such as flex boxes, orders of boxes..

Elementor Pro has the option for make your sidebar sticky, but has a lot of bugs! I was fighting for 2 hours...your video save me! :)

Hello! Does it work with flexbox? What kind of change should be done on the CSS code?

[@areeshafaisal1965]

I tried the exact steps but it didn't work for me. I use free version of elementor so i added the css code in additional css in customize option but nothing happened. I tried different approaches as well but non of them worked. I also checked my overflow settings but again no progress. Can anyone help out with this?

Hey, I have this problem where if I set my page layout to anything other than "Elementor Canvas", then the code will not work. Is there a fix to this? Thank you

[@triciaisham4701]

I've been looking for a tutorial like this but I"m not able to make this work. Only the top-most text in the column moves down on scroll, but keeps on going all the way down the page and doesn't stop like yours. I have a column with text over an image that I'd like to scroll to then stop while text in the other column continues, then once they are at the point on the next section, continue scrolling together.

Great Thank You !!! I have another section under the picture (in the same column) and when I scroll down the picture overlap the section below. Do you have a trick to prevent that ? Thanks

[@WickyDesign]

Thanks for watching! Everything will need to be inside the 1 Inner Section for this to work correctly. If you try to do multiple Inner Sections with this trick you will run into problems with the offset.

Is it 100% necessary to add the inner section to the column for this to work? Already have my temps built with my column stuffed with a bunch of elements that are not in an inner section.

[@WickyDesign]

Yes, you will need to put all your widgets inside an inner section to the column for it to work.

Make sure you turn off the Sticky setting inside the Motion Effects panel.

I just realized the custom code will make the column sticky, I had the sticky option on elementor active so you have to disable it for it to work.

The code works when you select Elementor Canvas but doesn't work on other layout. Why?

[@WickyDesign]

This might be a theme/code conflict with Elementor. The good news is this feature will be native in Elementor coming very soon. Elementor 3.2 will have this built in (github.com/elementor/elementor/issues/14034)

Hi! The sticky column works while the page loads, however, when the page fully loads, the sticky column jumps back to its position. What could be the problem? Btw, many thanks for the tutorial.

[@WickyDesign]

Thanks for watching! This sounds like a code conflict. Do you have other sticky elements on the page like a sticky header? Give it a try on an Elementor Canvas page template and see if that works.

Hi, So i tried to use this trick since with elementor pro i can't get it working (well, it works, but when i resize the page to a greater window, the element sticks to the top of the page until I scroll). I tried everthing, even duplicate the element and make it sticky on tablet and desktop and hide this element on smartphone, and display another elementor that is not sticky for smartphones... I still have the same problem when I resize the page..... And I would like to try using code (position:sticky) but it seems like elementor won't let me!! The css is there in the inspector but it won't get sticky..... I am getting tired of this :( if anyone has a hint... Thank you

Hi Julie. Good news is Elementor has added this functionality inside Elementor Pro 3.2. Try to upgrade and use the new sticky column feature (elementor.com/blog/introducing-pro-3-2/).
