Created custom menu, doesn’t work at all

What you’re describing should work, but it’s possible that another plugin or setting is causing trouble. If you can share a link to your site I’ll be happy to take a look to see what might be wrong.

The only other plugin I currently have installed is a simple “coming soon” screen, which would make it impossible for you to actually see the real site if I give you a link. All other plugins installed came with the theme or with Cherry Framework, and are your normal WP default fare.

I suppose that I could try it with the coming soon plugin off, but when you are logged in as the WP admin, you can see the live pages anyway. The various theme menus all seem to work correctly, I just don’t like the way it is setup. The default theme menu shows up as a text-only block to the right of the logo, and then as you scroll, it becomes a horizontal bar across the top of the page. All I really want is a way to make that horizontal menu the permanent menu all of the time, not just during scrolling.

That said, since there is no way to build a custom element in your plugin, I assumed that it had to work with the menu settings in the theme, or with other plugins anyway. Is that not so?

If not, then where does it get its settings (color, font, size, links, etc.) for selected elements?

I’m honestly not clear on the problems you’re facing (or the questions you’re asking), without seeing your site. I understand that might be a problem for you to share, but with just descriptions of the issue (without seeing the issue itself) it’s very hard for me to picture the situation, and much less to find a solution.

1) Where do you create the elements that can be selected in your plugin?
2) Does your plugin look at existing theme elements, such as existing menus?
3) If yes, how does your plugin know the formatting of existing theme elements?

My issue is that I have existing theme elements such as default and custom menus, but when I enter them in your plugin, they do not appear at all.

The only other non-default WP plugin I have installed is a “coming soon” screen, that does not appear when I am logged in as an admin. Therefore, it should not be interfering with your plugin when previewing pages and posts. Yet, I still cannot see your plugin doing anything. If it did something, anything, I could then edit it to do what I needed, which is create a nav menu that always appears at the top of the browser screen and scrolls down with the user. That’s all I want.

1) Where do you create the elements that can be selected in your plugin?
2) Does your plugin look at existing theme elements, such as existing menus?

My plugin can only make elements sticky that are part of the site already (so, they are not created in the plugin).

3) If yes, how does your plugin know the formatting of existing theme elements?

The plugin checks when the element reaches the top of the screen and will then read the formatting of the element (size, position, etc.), and add more properties to it, to make it sticky.

OK. Client decided to switch themes, which also moved us from Cherry4 to Cherry5, and now your plugin works. I made no changes at all to your plugin, but as soon as I swapped themes, it appeared and works perfectly.

Interestingly though, when your scrolling nav menu appears on the page, the color scheme is inverted from the original nav menu setup on the site.

Any idea why that would happen or how to remedy it? I see no such options for color scheme settings in your plugin, but I find it strange that it would use the inverted color scheme instead of the one already set to the main nav menu.

Any help would be appreciated.

Glad to hear that upgrading to Cherry 5 solved that issue! ??

My plugin does not have any settings for color schemes, so I’m not sure why that would happen. As with any other issue, it would require me to actually see your site to be able to see where that might be coming from.
