 In a world where digital exposure is key to brand success, adding sticky social icons to your website can make it much more engaging for users and boost your social traction. Adding sticky social media icons isn't just a matter of style for businesses that use the powerful Woodmart WordPress theme; it's also a smart way to boost connectivity, brand recognition, and conversion rates.


If you want to use Woodmart to add sticky social buttons to your website, this complete guide will get you there. We'll also talk about the design's reasoning, how to apply it, and best practices. This step-by-step YouTube tutorial will help us with all of these topics.

Why Sticky Social Icons Matter in 2025

Sticky social icons stay visible as people scroll down your page, giving them a constant chance to connect with your business on different platforms. In today's competitive digital world, this is why it's so important:
  • More social interaction: Sticky buttons let people follow, like, or share your content without having to leave the page.
  • Better User Experience: Simple, non-intrusive icons improve UI/UX without taking away from the text.
  • Better Conversion Funnels: Giving people direct access to social media can help them become more involved with your marketing.

Conditions needed

Make sure you have these things before you start:
  • A WordPress page set up
  • The Woodmart theme activated
  • Access to your WordPress Dashboard as an administrator
  • You can use Elementor or WPBakery Page Builder, and both work with Woodmart.

A step-by-step guide on how to add sticky social icons to Woodmart sites

Step 1: Go to Settings > Theme

  • Go to the dashboard of WordPress.
  • Click on Woodmart and then on Theme Settings.
  • When you use the built-in header editor, look for the Header Builder part.

Step 2: Make a fresh header element.

In the tool for the header builder:
  • Click + Add Element.
  • Based on your plan, pick HTML Block or Widget Area.
  • Call it "Sticky Socials" or something like that.

Step 3: Use HTML and CSS to make sticky icons

To start, here's a simple example:

<div class="sticky-social">
  <a href="https://facebook.com" target="_blank"><i class="fab fa-facebook-f"></i></a>
  <a href="https://twitter.com" target="_blank"><i class="fab fa-twitter"></i></a>
  <a href="https://instagram.com" target="_blank"><i class="fab fa-instagram"></i></a>
</div>


To make it stick, add the following CSS:

.sticky-social {
  position: fixed;
  top: 50%;
  left: 0;
  transform: translateY(-50%);
  z-index: 9999;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  gap: 10px;
}
.sticky-social a {
  background: #000;
  color: #fff;
  padding: 10px;
  border-radius: 0 5px 5px 0;
  text-align: center;
}

Step 4: Add an HTML block to the header or footer.


You can put the social icons in your header or footer using the HTML Block widget, based on how you like your site to look.
  • Copy and paste the HTML code
  • Save the changes
  • Check out the site
Users should be able to see your social icons on the side of the screen as they scroll down the page.

How to Make Sticky Icons Your Own

  1. If you want faster load times, use SVG icons.
  2. Colours should go with your brand's theme.
  3. For a modern, dynamic experience, add animation on hover.
  4. Make sure that icons don't get in the way of mobile viewports when you test responsiveness.
  5. Use these UTM links: Google Analytics lets you see how many people click on each sign.
Adding support for Elementor (optional)

If you're using Elementor, you can do the same thing:
  • Add a new part to Elementor
  • Add buttons with social icons
  • Change the advanced settings to "fixed" to fix the position of the part.
  • Align the text by adjusting the borders and padding.
You can now build things in even more ways.

What Not to Do: Common Mistakes

  • Too Many Icons: Only use three to five social networks
  • Low contrast colors: make sure they can be seen on all screen sizes
  • Not in the right place: Don't block key content or travel areas
