Sticky header for important notices
...................................

We use the `Awesome Sticky Header <https://wordpress.org/plugins/awesome-sticky-header/>`_
WordPress plugin to display important notices in a thin bar that sticks to the
top of pages as visitors scroll through content.

This is usually set to display a short notice about applications being open
for the following year's programme.

Enabling the sticky header
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Configure the sticky header's content: this is done via a special WordPress
*Menu* item.

Within the WordPress dashboard, navigate to *Appearance -> Menus*. Within the
*Edit Menus* tab, select the *Sticky Header* menu to edit, then press the
*Select* button to the right of the menu selection dropdown.

If no menu with this name is available, this can be created from the same
dashboard page by following the link *create a new menu*, then making sure that
the menu name is *Sticky Header* (this can be set to something else, as long
as the plugin is then configured to use the desired menu).

If the Sticky Header was simply disabled in the past, without deleting its
content, the *Sticky Header* menu being edited should contain a single item,
whose type is *Custom Link* (shown in light grey on the item's button).

By pressing the arrow-down icon on the item's button, edit the *Navigation
Label* (this is the text that will be displayed in the sticky header) and
the associated *URL*, then press the *Save Menu* button.

Otherwise, if no menu items are configured, select *Custom Links* from the
tab's sidebar, enter *URL* and *Link Text*, then press the *Add to Menu*
button. The menu item should now appear in the *Menu Structure* section of the
page and the menu can be saved by pressing the *Save Menu* button.

Once the menu has been configured, navigate to the *Plugins* area of the
WordPress dashboard, then activate the *Awesome Sticky Header by DevCanyon* 
plugin. If a new menu has been created earlier through the process
above, configure the plugin to use the new menu: click on the *configure* link
for this plugin on the plugins list page, then on the Header tab. The desired
menu can be selected from the *Choose menu* dropdown list on this tab.

Disabling the sticky header
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Navigate to the *Plugins* area of the WordPress dashboard, then deactivate
the *Awesome Sticky Header by DevCanyon* plugin. There is no need to modify
the associated menu, as this can be left in place for the future and updated
with a new message when re-enabling the plugin.
