You might not need this plugin. Its core job is small enough to live in your theme's functions.php.

Show the snippet

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
    var selector = '#main-navigation'; // change to your element's selector
    var topOffset  = 0;                // px gap from top of viewport
    var el = document.querySelector(selector);
    if (!el) return;

    var placeholder = document.createElement('div');
    var origTop     = el.getBoundingClientRect().top + window.scrollY;

    function onScroll() {
        if (window.scrollY + topOffset >= origTop) {
            if (!el.classList.contains('is-sticky')) {
                placeholder.style.height = el.offsetHeight + 'px';
                el.before(placeholder);
                el.classList.add('is-sticky');
                el.style.cssText = 'position:fixed;top:' + topOffset + 'px;width:' + el.offsetWidth + 'px;z-index:9999;';
            }
        } else {
            if (el.classList.contains('is-sticky')) {
                el.classList.remove('is-sticky');
                el.style.cssText = '';
                placeholder.remove();
            }
        }
    }

    window.addEventListener('scroll', onScroll, { passive: true });
});

Keep in mind:The selector, top offset, and min/max screen-size guards must be set manually; the plugin's settings UI, admin-bar awareness, and push-up element feature are not included.
