Validate Sticky Header Demo is a WordPress ability from Sticky Header Effects for Elementor — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Validate Sticky Header Demo
Read-onlyCheck an Elementor post and report whether a sticky header is correctly configured, with any warnings.
Requires the Sticky Header Effects for Elementor plugin on WordPress 6.9+ for the Abilities API — the plugin's includes/abilities/class-she-abilities.php registers its abilities only when wp_register_ability() exists, and is a no-op on older cores. Each ability is additionally gated by a WordPress capability check: list-effects and validate-demo require edit_posts / edit_post on the target post, apply-settings requires edit_post on the target post, and create-demo requires both edit_theme_options and publish_posts. Abilities operate on Elementor templates/pages, so the target post must already contain Elementor data (_elementor_data) for apply-settings and validate-demo to act on it.
What it does
This read-only self-check inspects a given Elementor post and reports whether a sticky header is actually and correctly wired up: whether the sticky effect is enabled (is_sticky), which element it lives on (element_id), which specific effects are detected as configured (effects_detected), and any warnings about misconfiguration. It's designed to be called after apply-settings or create-demo to confirm the write actually took effect and produced a working sticky header, rather than trusting the write call blindly, or to audit an existing header template that was built manually in the editor.
