Overview

The Sliding Panel plugin creates a new sidebar for your site that allows you to add widgets. These widgets appear within a responsive sliding panel at the top of your site on the front end.

Features

  • Uses widgets, so you can add pretty much anything you can add to any other sidebar.

  • Will automatically display with any correctly-coded theme.
  • Supports HTML5 and Schema.org microdata.
  • It’s responsive, so it’ll look good on any device.
