Question posted in 
Maybe some other classes I have are messing with the sticky-top class of bootstrap. I thought it was as simple as adding the class to the navbar. I do have 2 navbar and not allowed to use fixed-top for some internal reasons. I was hoping for the second navbar I have is sticky to the top while I am scrolling down. What am I doing wrong? here’s my code
/* .text-spLeft {
margin-left: 5px;
}
.text-spRight {
margin-right: 5px;
}
.header-secondnav .fixed-top {
margin-top: 70px !important;
}
.header-firstnav .top-nav-ul, .header-secondnav .top-nav-ul {
border-bottom: 5px;
border-bottom-color: grey;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-bottom-width: thin;
}
.header-firstnav .top-nav-ul li, .header-secondnav .top-nav-ul li {
margin-bottom: 15px;
}
.header-firstnav .dropdown-toggle-ellipsis::after, .header-secondnav .dropdown-toggle-ellipsis::after {
display: none;
}
.header-firstnav .form-control:focus, .header-secondnav .form-control:focus {
outline: 0 !important;
}
.header-firstnav .nav-link, .header-secondnav .nav-link {
color: black;
font-weight: bold;
}
.header-firstnav .fa-chevron-down, .header-secondnav .fa-chevron-down {
color: #eb1b1e;
font-weight: bold;
} */
.text-spLeft {
margin-left: 5px;
}
.text-spRight {
margin-right: 5px;
}
.header-firstnav .top-nav-ul, .header-secondnav .top-nav-ul {
border-bottom: 5px;
border-bottom-color: grey;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-bottom-width: thin; }
.header-firstnav .top-nav-ul li, .header-secondnav .top-nav-ul li {
margin-bottom: 15px; }
.header-firstnav .dropdown-toggle-ellipsis::after, .header-secondnav .dropdown-toggle-ellipsis::after {
display: none; }
.header-firstnav .form-control:focus, .header-secondnav .form-control:focus {
outline: 0 !important; }
.header-firstnav .nav-link, .header-secondnav .nav-link {
color: black;
font-weight: bold; }
.header-firstnav .fa-chevron-down, .header-secondnav .fa-chevron-down {
color: #eb1b1e;

.text-spLeft {

It’s not working because the parent "main" container doesn’t have any significant height. If you move your 2000px height div into main it will work, and
sticky-topshould be used on the element that is an immediate child of "main".Demo: https://codeply.com/go/5aDkGY8KjI
Also note:
sticky-topwill not work if any of the parents haveoverflow: hiddenRelated: How to place navbar below sticky navbar using bootstrap 4?
One more thing to check is if any parent element has one of these css properties set:
overflow
overflow-y
overflow-x
If this property is set to one of these vales it will NOT work: auto, hidden, overlay, scroll.
The best solution is to remove it or change its value to ‘unset’
From https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/21919
.sticky-topwill not work if it is inside any container. It must be the outside-most element inside<body>These examples work:
