Unstable version since 6.1.0
-
Hi! I am forced to use ver. 6.1.0 of your plugin, because all newer versions have different bugs. Even 6.1.0 is halfly stable (it has footer flickering on short pages).
I desribed this problem more than a year ago — https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fixation-doesnt-work/. But at the end I was ignored.
Please, let me know, if you’ll be able to test the plugin on my website, so I can update it to it’s last version. Thank you.

Hi George,
thanks for your message. I can check out your site now if you can make it available to me again. I see in the old thread that it was blocking me even looking at it.
Thanks,
ThomasHi, @webzunft !
I’ve just updated Fixed Widget plugin from 6.1.0 to 6.2.3. You can look at it now.
Now you won’t be blocked on my website: you’ll see captcha at the beginning, and that’s it.
Thanks. I am able to see the site now. I opened a few pages, but don’t see some flickering as you described in the other thread.
What should I look for and on which specific page?
For testing purposes you can look at different page types.
For example, main page: https://litfan.ru/ (sometimes fixation doesn’t work, but sometimes it does).
Post page: https://litfan.ru/prochee/nessly-company-boty-kak-zablokirovat/ (fixation mostly doesn’t work).
Category page: https://litfan.ru/stihotvorenija/ (this page is short by height, so sometimes fixation doesn’t work, but when it does, then there is a footer flickering).
If you need any additional information – please, let me know.
@webzunft we answered at the same time 🙂 I’ve just gave you the answer to your question above. Footer flickering happens only on short by height pages.
If it doesn’t trigger on that category page above, then you can try these ones: https://litfan.ru/kak-zarabotat-pisatelyu/ and https://litfan.ru/literaturnyj-slovar/
I’ve just made a gif with the problem seen there: https://ibb.co/QpKrbsQ
As you can see, sometimes it even goes up, and overlaps other widgets in sidebar above.
Your site doesn’t like me 🙂

You missed a right image in captcha twice 🙂
Removed you from blocking
Well, my Russian isn’t good enough to understand what that captcha was all about. Got it now.
I am seeing a blue footer box sticky on all pages in Chrome or Firefox. Is that it? Nothing flickers, though.
Which browsers are you using?
Is it different if you log out and test it like a normal user?
I use last version of Chrome browser. And btw, I do see footer flickering while logged-in as admin. But I still can’t trigger it while being logged-out (in incognito mode).
Maybe it has something to do with admin-panel fixated above for admins? And also I use an optimization plugin for making rules for admins only / simple users etc. But I didn’t use such specific settings for your plugin.
Also, footer flickering on that category pages doesn’t always trigger from the first try, even when I’m logged-in as admin.
For example, I’ve just visited category page, and the widget was not fixated, so there was no footer flickering. Then I reloaded the page, and footer flickering appeared.
If you only see the flickering while being logged in then I would not worry. The admin version is often slower due to disabled caches.
I don’t think we will put any resource in fixing such a problem if it only happens for admins, especially, if I cannot reproduce it on a blank WordPress installation.
Well, if footer flickering is really seen only for admins, then I am not worry. If visitors don’t see flickering, then it’s okay. But I’ll be testing it additionally in future.
But what about lack of fixation and periodic widgets overlapping? Will you try to fix these bugs?
And also, can I return to 6.1.0 now? Or you’ll be testing the plugin further on my website?
Please revert to 6.1.0 for now.
We are in the middle of evaluating all support requests to see if we have the dev resources to look into them. I was not able to reproduce issues with a new WordPress installation and the latest theme and figuring out individual issues is very time consuming.
Reverted to 6.1.0, and immediately noticed, that footer flickering happens there for non-admins on short category pages 🙂 I guess, you fixed something in furure updates (at least for non-admins).
So, your theory with cache was not proven, I guess.
