While a horizontal scroll section is running, the rest of the page is out of view. A small fixed strip above the slides keeps a title, a logo or a set of links on screen the whole time. **Sticky Section** in the **Horizontal Scroll** widget from The Plus Addons for Elementor takes a second Elementor template and holds it above the moving slides. *To check the complete feature overview documentation of The Plus Addons for Elementor Horizontal Scroll widget, [click here](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/horizontal-scroll-elementor-widget-settings-overview/).* ***Requirement - This widget is a part of The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro, make sure it's installed & activated to enjoy all its powers.*** [LIVE WIDGET LINK](https://theplusaddons.com/elementor-widget/horizontal-scroll/?utm_source=tpae&utm_medium=docs&utm_campaign=text) ## Before You Start - **Edition:** **Pro** — Horizontal Scroll is only in The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro. With the Pro plugin switched off the widget is not in the editor at all, and a page that already uses it shows nothing where the widget was.- **Widget to enable:** Horizontal Scroll, switched on under **The Plus Addons > Widgets**.- **You need a template:** an Elementor Library template whose top-level sections are the slides. The widget turns each top-level section of that template into one horizontal slide.- **A second template:** build the sticky strip as its own Elementor Library template, separate from the slides template. ## How to Make a Section Sticky - Build the sticky strip as an Elementor template — one short section is enough.- Select the **Horizontal Scroll** widget on your page and open **Scrolling Options**.- Switch **Sticky Section** on.- Pick your strip in the **Select Template** dropdown that appears under the toggle. **Create Template** is there if you have not built it yet.- Publish and scroll through the section. ![Sticky Section switched on in Scrolling Options with its Select Template dropdown below it](https://theplusaddons.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/hscroll-sticky-section.webp) ## The Result The strip sits above the slides and stays there while they move past underneath: ![Yellow Our Process bar held above a horizontal scroll slide while the slides move sideways](https://theplusaddons.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/hscroll-result-sticky.webp) ## How It Behaves - The sticky template is moved to the top of the horizontal strip, so it travels with it rather than floating over the whole page.- It holds its position for the entire horizontal run: measured at the top of the viewport at slide 2 and still there at slide 3.- Once the last slide is done and the page carries on scrolling, the strip scrolls away with the rest of the section.- It is a normal Elementor template, so anything you can build in Elementor can go in it.- The template has to be published. An unpublished one shows an *Unauthorized Access* notice instead. ## Limitations - Only one template can be sticky.- It is fixed to the top of the section. There is no setting to put it at the bottom or to offset it.- It is only sticky for the horizontal run — it is not a site header and does not follow the visitor down the rest of the page.- The strip takes up room above the slides, so allow for it when you set the slide heights.- The widget is Pro only. With the Pro plugin off, neither the slides nor the sticky strip render. ## Troubleshooting ### The Select Template dropdown is not there It only appears once **Sticky Section** is switched on. ### The sticky area shows an Unauthorized Access notice The template you chose is not published. Open it and publish it. ### The strip scrolls away too early It stays for the length of the horizontal run, which is set by **Scroll Speed**. Raise **Scroll Speed** to keep the section — and the strip — on screen longer. ### It covers the top of my slides The strip sits above the slides inside the same pinned area. Reduce its height, or add top padding to the sections in your slides template. ## Related Docs - [Horizontal Scroll widget settings overview](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/horizontal-scroll-elementor-widget-settings-overview/)- [Add a scroll effect on horizontal page scroll](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/add-scroll-effect-on-horizontal-page-scroll-in-elementor/)- [Change the background image on scroll](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/change-background-image-on-horizontal-page-scroll-in-elementor/)
