 * Hi, I’m trying to manually implement a sidebar element that becomes fixed after
   some scrolling. In order to do it, I’m using few lines of jQuery that after scroll
   add a class with position:fixed property to the element, and on a testing environment
   it works fine.
    However when implementing it on wordpress, it doesn’t seem to
   work. I put the following script in the custom javascript section of my theme
   admin panel, it seems to be loaded on the frontend but nothing happens.
 *     ```
       $(window).scroll(function(){
             if ($(this).scrollTop() > 235) {
                 $('#sidebar-2').addClass('fix-it');
             } else {
                 $('#sidebar-2').removeClass('fix-it');
             }
       });
       ```
   
 * Here’s also some dummy code to explain what I’m trying to accomplish: [fiddle](http://jsfiddle.net/FyEGN/858/)
 * Am I missing something? Thanks for your help.

 * Hi.
    What if replace all `$` with `jQuery`?
 * Or, wrap whole your code with:
 *     ```
       (function($){
           //your code here
       })(jQuery);
       ```
