Advanced Floating Content by CodeTides is a versatile WordPress plugin designed to create sticky or animated elements that stay visible as a user scrolls. Unlike a simple popup, this plugin focuses on "persistent engagement"βkeeping a specific call-to-action (CTA), video, or notification in the user's line of sight without being as intrusive as a full-screen overlay.
The plugin serves as an "all-in-one" solution for any element you want to "float" on your site.
You aren't limited to just text. You can float:
Videos: Embed YouTube, Vimeo, or self-hosted videos that follow the user.
Social Bars: Floating Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn sharing icons.
Custom HTML/Shortcodes: Insert contact forms (like Contact Form 7), sliders, or custom buttons.
WooCommerce Integration: Specifically promote products or "Sale" banners on shop pages.
In 2026, its display rules are its strongest asset for marketers:
Device Targeting: Show a specific bar for mobile users (like a "Call Now" button) and a different one for desktop.
Geo-Targeting: Only show floating content to visitors from specific countries.
User Status: Display special offers only to logged-in members or hide content from specific IP addresses (IP Blacklisting).
Schedule: Set start and end dates for holiday sales or limited-time announcements.
Pixel-Perfect Control: Place elements at the top, bottom, left, right, or specific X/Y offsets.
Entrance Effects: Use CSS3 animations (fade, slide, bounce) to grab attention as the page loads.
Scroll-Triggered: Make the content appear only after the user has scrolled a certain percentage of the page.

The "Social Proof" Float: Use a shortcode to float a live feed of your latest Google Reviews or recent purchases.
The "Sticky Sidebar" Replacement: If your theme doesn't support sticky sidebars, use this to keep your most important widget visible during long-form articles.
Mobile Navigation: Create a "Bottom Sticky Menu" for mobile users to improve the app-like feel of your site.
Lite: Free on WordPress.org.
Pro: Usually starts around $21β$30 for a regular license on Envato/CodeCanyon, including 6 months of support and lifetime updates.
Pro Tip: If you notice a "javascript conflict" or the content isn't appearing, check the plugin settings for "Impression Control." You may have accidentally set it to only show once per user session!
Would you like me to help you draft a custom CSS snippet to make your floating bar look more modern, or do you need help setting up a specific display rule for mobile users?
