What has to be true first

Needs WordPress 6.9 or newer with the Abilities API, this plugin active, and Elementor active on the site for the header effects to actually render. Listing effects needs edit_posts, applying settings or validating a demo needs edit_post on that specific header, and creating a demo needs both edit_theme_options and publish_posts.

  • Elementor must be installed and active, since the create and apply abilities write into an Elementor page's _elementor_data even though the plugin does not declare Elementor as a hard requires_plugins dependency in its readme

How to switch these on

Four steps from two active plugins to a governed connection.

  1. Install Sticky Header Effects for Elementor and Agent Abilities for MCP

    Both plugins need to be active on the same WordPress site. Sticky Header Effects for Elementor registers its own abilities; this plugin discovers and governs them.

  2. Open the Other plugins screen

    In Agent Abilities for MCP, open the Bridge tab (labeled "Other plugins" in the admin). Abilities from every registered plugin appear there, grouped by the plugin that registered them.

  3. Enable one ability at a time

    Every ability from Sticky Header Effects for Elementor starts off. Turn on only the ones you want an agent to reach, or enable the whole set in one click.

  4. Connect as a least-privilege user

    Approve the connection as a WordPress account scoped to what you actually want the agent to do. Each call still re-checks that account’s capability before it runs.

Frequently asked questions

Does Sticky Header Effects for Elementor work with the Bridge?

Yes. The plugin registers four abilities through the real wp_register_ability() call, each with explicit readonly/destructive annotations, so the Bridge discovers them in the core registry and can wrap any of them once enabled.

What has to be true for Sticky Header Effects for Elementor's abilities to register?

Elementor must be installed and active, since the create and apply abilities write into an Elementor page's _elementor_data even though the plugin does not declare Elementor as a hard requires_plugins dependency in its readme.

Does Sticky Header Effects for Elementor need anything special to work with the Bridge?

Needs WordPress 6.9 or newer with the Abilities API, this plugin active, and Elementor active on the site for the header effects to actually render. Listing effects needs edit_posts, applying settings or validating a demo needs edit_post on that specific header, and creating a demo needs both edit_theme_options and publish_posts.
