**Fixed HTML Toolbar** adds a bar fixed to the top or bottom of your site. You write the content with the WordPress editor or pick up to 5 linked icons, choose the pages where it shows, and match the colours to your site.

It is free and works on phones and desktops.

Free on [wordpress.org](https://wordpress.org/plugins/fixed-html-toolbar/) and rated 5 out of 5 by its users. The [configuration guide](https://docs.web357.com/fixed-html-toolbar-wordpress-plugin/configuration/) covers every setting, from position to custom CSS.

## Features

### ⚙️ On, Off, Top or Bottom, and Where It Shows

**Decide where the bar appears before you fill it.**

Under [Base Settings](https://docs.web357.com/fixed-html-toolbar-wordpress-plugin/configuration/#base-settings) turn the toolbar on, pick the top or the bottom of the screen, and tick the parts of the site where it should show.

- Homepage, pages, posts, archives, categories and search
- Turn it off without losing your content
- Write the content with the familiar WordPress editor

### 🔗 Up to 5 Linked Icons

**Point visitors to your social profiles.**

Switch the content to [Icons](https://docs.web357.com/fixed-html-toolbar-wordpress-plugin/configuration/#icons-mode) and add up to five images, each with its own link. Choose whether the links open in the same window or a new one.

- Use any image from the Media Library
- One link per icon
- Set the space between icons

### ⬇️ A Bar at the Bottom of the Screen

**Stay out of the way of the header and menu.**

At the bottom the bar sits below the content and stays there while the page scrolls. If it covers your footer, the [FAQ](https://docs.web357.com/fixed-html-toolbar-wordpress-plugin/faq/#the-toolbar-is-overlapping-my-sites-footer-how-do-i-fix-it) shows the CSS that adds space for it.

- Good for social icons and contact links
- Hidden when a visitor prints the page
- Works on phones and desktops

### ⬆️ A Bar at the Top of the Screen

**Keep the same icons, or a notice, at the top.**

At the top the bar stays above the page while visitors scroll. Show your icons there, or switch to [HTML mode](https://docs.web357.com/fixed-html-toolbar-wordpress-plugin/configuration/#html-mode) for a short notice, a sale or a phone number.

- Icons or any HTML from the WordPress editor
- Links, bold text and images
- The same bar on every page you chose

## Good to know

- **📌 Always visible**: The bar is fixed to the top or bottom of the screen, so your notice or icons stay in view while visitors scroll, as the [configuration guide](https://docs.web357.com/fixed-html-toolbar-wordpress-plugin/configuration/#position) explains.
- **🎯 Only where you want it**: Show the bar on the homepage, pages, posts, archives, categories or search results, in any combination, with the [Location](https://docs.web357.com/fixed-html-toolbar-wordpress-plugin/configuration/#location) setting.
- **🪶 Loads only where it shows**: The plugin adds its CSS and JavaScript only on pages where the toolbar appears, as the [FAQ](https://docs.web357.com/fixed-html-toolbar-wordpress-plugin/faq/#does-the-toolbar-slow-down-my-site) notes.
