What Is OceanWP Sticky Footer Addon?
OceanWP Sticky Footer Addon is developed by OceanWP and is a design plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the design category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for professional site aesthetics.
It solves the issue of footers disappearing on long pages by pinning them to the viewport. It is for site owners who want to keep conversion links or navigation menus in view at all times.
OceanWP Sticky Footer Addon Features
The feature set is built around providing a flexible, non-intrusive footer bar that integrates with the core theme settings.
Content and Menu Controls
The plugin allows you to add a dedicated menu directly into the footer bar for easy access to important pages. Users can also insert custom text, such as copyright notices or phone numbers, within the bar area. This helps in maintaining primary navigation without requiring the user to scroll back up to the header or down to the full footer.
Design and Styling Options
Sticky Footer includes typography fields for both the menu and the custom text labels. You can choose your own colors for the background and elements to match your brand identity. It also features a text field that allows for a custom opening icon, providing a way to toggle the full footer view if desired within the customization workflow.
Responsive Display Logic
Since screen real estate is limited on mobile devices, the plugin includes visibility controls. You can hide the menu or the text bar specifically on mobile screens to avoid obscuring content. This ensures the desktop experience is maximized while the mobile experience remains clean and functional.
