Hi Erik!
I actually had that scroll feature initially planned for the theme. I tested like 5 different sticky scripts, but none of them worked perfectly. Each one fell short on something or bugged out somewhere, so I ended up leaving the feature out.
If you are able to find any decent one, feel free to share. I may take a look at the feature again in the future, but currently other things have higher priority.
I just relaunched my site with your theme and I was able to put in this functionality by updating sharrre.php in my child theme.
I can provide the code if you wish, but I am still going to do some clean up with it.
Here is a longer post to see as a sample – http://sideoffryes.com/2013/12/2013-year-review/
Great theme with lots of flexibility.

P.S. Since I am using the full theme from your site, how will updates be communicated? Will they still show up automatically like they do for other themes download from wordpress.org?
Nicely done Erik! Feel free to share the solution for it, I digg it!
Regarding the updates, unfortunately I haven’t built in some auto update notification into the theme yet, so the only way to check that version is to go to the alxmedia website and check the current available version number, and do a manual update.

That is very smooth, almost missed it my first scroll down the page.
Please share!
I created a fork on github and added in my code. Please have a look at comment. Still a bit of a work in progress.
Enjoy.

Let me know if it makes it into the main trunk in a new release.
This is a great solution Erik! How do I implement this into my theme?
ikadmin, if you are using a child theme you can update the sharrre.php file that I have put on my github.

Thanks for the advice, but I’m new at all of this. How do I make a child theme? All the guides have me a little confused.
If you can sit tight for a few days I am going to try and build it into a plugin for the time being.
However, there is a link to a sample hueman child theme here https://github.com/AlxMedia/hueman-child/archive/master.zip. The author of the theme has done some great work here.
AlJust install this theme and then activate it. It will use all the main files from the original theme. For files that you want to change simply copy them from the main theme and put them in the same directory structure in your child theme. For example, sharrre.php is in the /inc/ folder. Make a /inc/ folder in the child theme and then copy that oringal file here.
Then go to my github, and copy all the code from sharrre.php into your new sharrre.php file. And that’s it.
I will update the thread when I get the plugin live.
Thanks.
Erik
I have submitted the plugin for review. Hopefully they will approved it in the next few days and then it will be in the wordpress.org plugin directory.
I have made the plugin available now if you wish to use it. Once it gets into the directory I will look to make a few enhancements.

The plugin is now available from the plugin directory!

Enjoy.
Sweet! 🙂 Thank you for the work you do.
Incredible. Works like a breeze! Thanks a lot, Erik. ^_^
