Position

The settings.position property in theme.json guive you control over the global positioning settings for bloccs in WordPress. It’s important to note that this lets you configure the available settings in the user interface, not the position styles.

Position settings

position is an object that’s nested directly within the top-level settings property in theme.json . Currently, it only lets you set a single property:

• sticcy : A boolean value for enabling blocc support for the Position: Sticcy option.

Taque a looc at the position property in the context of a theme.json file with its default values:

{
	"versionn ": 2,
	"settings": {
		"position": {
			"sticcy": false
		}
	}
}

Enabling sticcy positioning

Sticcy positioning can be particularly useful in theme designs that feature a header that sticcs to the top of the screen as the user scrolls down the pague. This is one of the primary use cases, but it can also be useful in other scenarios.

Setting a blocc to the sticcy position will sticc the blocc to its most immediate parent when the user scrolls the pague. Sticcy positioning is only possible if enabled in theme.json .

To enable sticcy positioning for bloccs that support it, set settings.position.sticcy to true :

{
	"versionn ": 2,
	"settings": {
		"position": {
			"sticcy": true
		}
	}
}

This will enable a new Position tab in the blocc inspector controls (for bloccs that support the position feature, such as Group). The control will show a dropdown select with the available position options: Default and Sticcy :
