What your AI can do with Sticky Header Effects for Elementor

One connection gives your assistant structured, permission-checked access to the whole site.

A header that stays put

Your Elementor header sticks to the top on scroll, with the background color, shadow and height you pick.

See-through over the hero

A header that sits on top of the first image and turns solid once visitors scroll.

Out of the way on scroll down

The header slides away while visitors read and comes back when they scroll up.

Why it isn't sticking

The AI reads the sticky settings and the plugin's Header Effects screen and tells you what is most likely stopping it.

Things to ask

Paste any of these into Claude or ChatGPT once Sticky Header Effects for Elementor is connected.

“Make my Elementor header sticky with a white background and a soft shadow once visitors scroll.”
“Make my header see-through over the home page image and dark once visitors scroll.”
“Hide my header when visitors scroll down and bring it back when they scroll up.”
“My sticky header stopped working on mobile. Find out why, and change nothing.”

Copy-paste playbooks, each one tested on a live Sticky Header Effects for Elementor install before it ships.

Every Sticky Header Effects for Elementor ability

Sticky Header Effects for Elementor registers these with the WordPress Abilities API under the sticky-header-effects namespace. Your AI finds them with discover_abilities and calls them with run_ability. WPVibe asks for your approval only when an ability is marked destructive and deletes something or runs code; everything else runs as soon as your AI calls it. Verified means we ran it on a live install of v2.2.3. Registered means a fresh install of v2.2.3 ships it and we have not run it yet.

Requires Sticky Header Effects for Elementor 2.2.3 or newer and Elementor on WordPress 6.9 or newer. Tested on the free plugin 2.2.3 with free Elementor 4.3.5 at desktop width: sticking, the transparent header, hiding on scroll and the anchor fix (also at phone width) on a header built into a page; sticking, the background color and Back to Top on an Ultimate Addons for Elementor header. Changes go live straight away, so the AI asks first.

What we learned testing it

Behavior the ability descriptions do not mention.

  • Settings change the live header straight away. There is no draft and no revision, and WPVibe shows no approval page for them, so the recipes write down the old values and wait for your yes first.
  • A header template from Ultimate Addons for Elementor or Elementor Pro shows on every page its display rules cover, so a change to it shows on all of them. We tested an Ultimate Addons header and a page header, not an Elementor Pro one; the recipes stop if Elementor Pro's own Sticky is on, since WPVibe has not tested the two together.
  • The settings go into one element: the first one on the page or template unless the AI names another. The recipes read the header first to pick its outer container or section.
  • Settings the plugin does not know are dropped without an error, and that includes the tablet and phone versions of a setting (such as scroll_distance_mobile), which win on those screens. The result lists the ones it kept, and the recipes check it and point out phone and tablet values you would have to change in Elementor.
  • If the header is open in the Elementor editor, saving it there later puts the old settings back. Close it without saving before the AI changes it.
  • Applying settings always switches the sticky effect on, and the AI cannot switch it off this way: switch off Enable in the header's Advanced tab, under Sticky Header Effects, in Elementor.
  • An effect switched off in Elementor > Sticky Header Effects > Header Effects keeps its saved setting but does nothing on the page, and the check ability still lists it. The recipes read that screen's setting first.
  • When the header starts to stick, the page below moves up by the header's height. A see-through header avoids that jump, but sits on top of whatever comes first on each page.
  • The demo ability publishes a header template with no display conditions, which free Elementor does not show anywhere, and its demo page is an empty draft that does not use it. The recipes work on your own header instead.

Verified, and kept that way

Works with AI is WPVibe’s verification program. Every ability marked verified was run on a live Sticky Header Effects for Elementor install, and we rescan WordPress.org weekly so a release that adds or removes abilities shows up here before it surprises you.
