It adds a modern sticky header with smooth, animated shrinking effects for both the header and the site logo. As users scroll down the page, the header and logo automatically reduce in size, maximizing on-screen space and keeping navigation easily accessible without disrupting the browsing experience. The plugin allows you to individually configure the heights for the header and logo in both their normal and shrunken states, giving you full control over your site’s appearance. These settings can be easily adjusted to match your branding or design preferences. One of the key advantages of Dynamic Header & Navigation for Block Themes is its simplicity: After activation, the sticky and shrinking effects work in principle immediately – no additional setup or configuration is required. This makes it ideal for users who want a professional, dynamic header effect without dealing with complex options or custom code. ### Translations * (French): Thanks to [Patricia BT](https://profiles.wordpress.org/patricia70/) ## Screenshots * [[ * [[ * [[ * [[ * [[ ## Installation 1.

Classic themes sometimes offer such an option, but possibly only in a paid version. This plugin can only be used with block themes. ### Is it possible to use this plugin for all Block Themes? Tested with Twenty Twenty-Three, Twenty Twenty-Four, Twenty Twenty-Five, Circles WP. If the plugin does not work with your block theme, please write to the support forum. I will then see what I can do. ### Why is the sticky header transparent and how can I change this? The template part for the header is initially transparent in many block themes. For this reason, the background colour of the outer group block for the header must be changed to a colour such as white, for example. If the header has a background colour, then the header ‘covers’ the content when scrolling. See also the screenshot. This is the recommended procedure. If the recommended option described above does not work for you, you can also set the background colour for the header automatically via the settings. ### The header with the navigation is too high on mobile devices and therefore takes up too much space on the display. Can this be fixed? Yes, no problem at all: From version 1.4.1 onwards, you can optionally deactivate the sticky option on mobile devices. Please see setup of the Plugin. ### Can you show me examples that demonstrate these effects? Yes, with pleasure: https://haurand.com/ and https://space4.yd-sgs.de/ ### Is there any documentation and further information about the plugin? Yes, of course: * (English): https://haurand.com/plugin-shrinking-logo-sticky-header/*( German): https://haurand.com/das-plugin-shrinking-logo-sticky-header/ ### Who are you?

This little plugin is the perfect companion for fixed headers in block themes. All it does it make them shrink a bit as you scroll. Just give it a go. You’ll like it. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/50ed2d4125b2ec67afa6321fd197c05794fa0442aee62b504d87af847f15f802? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Practical helper for FSE themes](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/practical-helper-for-fse-themes/)󠁿 [wpgerd](https://profiles.wordpress.org/wpgerd/) August 18, 2025 1 reply I like using fixed headers. This plugin offers me everything I need: Automatic shrinking when scrolling down Adjustment of spacing for jump marks Adjustment of animation. And everything is solidly programmed.

Works fine as soon as you activate it](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-works-fine-as-soon-as-you-activate-it/)󠁿 [fbherr](https://profiles.wordpress.org/fbherr/) June 26, 2025 2 replies Nice to find a quick and simple way to make a site’s sticky header and logo shrink a bit when you start scrolling down the page, for block themes. Got used to doing it easily with page builders, couldn’t find a no-code way to do it in FSE. Hopefully this functionality will one day be a WP core option. Worked fine in the Twenty Twenty- Five theme as soon as I activated it, and there are controls to fine-tune the sizing if you want to.
