# Widget jumps above initial position

 * Hi Max,
 * I have a problem that I can’t seem to figure out the cause to. Sometimes, my 
   sticky widget (the bottom one in my sidebar) will jump up and display over the
   widgets above it as you scroll downward.
 * Other times, this doesn’t happen at all and the plugin works fine.
 * Here’s a screenshot to demonstrate what happens, in case you’re unable to recreate
   it:

 * And here’s an [article on my site](http://collegeinfogeek.com/early-waking-with-buffer/)
   for testing.
 * Any idea what could be causing this problem? Thanks!

 * Hi!
 * Try to enable Refresh Interval option. Set it to 1500 or 2000

 * I think that, plus disabling a few other JS plugins that may have been conflicting,
   might have fixed it! Seems to be working now. Thanks!
 * Btw, I made a small mod to the plugin that uses the offset of my site’s footer
   to define the margin-bottom instead of the bottom of the document. Might be a
   cool idea for a future update, since some responsive sites have footers that 
   change height at different page widths.
 * If you think it’s a good idea, I can send you the code 🙂

 * Hi ThomasFrank09,
    Can you share that code here as well? I would be interested
   in implementing this change… Thanks,

 * Max – the plugin is open source, right? Is it alright to post a Github gist of
   my version of the file?

 * Thanks Max!
 * SweetPweb,
 * Here’s my version of the JS file: [http://pastie.org/9492063](http://pastie.org/9492063)
 * Note that you’ll need to change the ID in Line 15 to whatever element you want
   to target on your own site. You’ll also need to compress this code down in to
   a minified JS file and replace the current one in the plugin. I used this tool:
   [http://jscompress.com/](http://jscompress.com/)

 * Thanks [@thomasfrank09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomasfrank09/) and
   [@maxbond](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maxbond/).
 * I’ll dig in.
 * Thanks for the help
