Easily add a custom top bar notification message to on your site with live customization options via the WordPress customizer. The plugin allows you to enter your notification bar text as well as an optional button to display next to your text. Perfect for notifying visitors of a current sale, hot product, warnings or other important messages.
The <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-notification-bar/" rel="ugc">Easy Notification Bar</a> plugin makes use of the newer “wp_body_open” action hook introduced in WordPress 5.2.0 which allows the plugin to work better with any theme that has been updated to support the tag. Contrary to other notice bar solutions which rely on absolute positioning, this plugin inserts the notice bar right after the body tag so it should display perfectly without any conflicts on any well-coded theme.
By default, the notification bar is “static” which means it displays at the top of your site so when you scroll down the page it will become “hidden”. This is generally better for usability and <a href="https://www.wpexplorer.com/wordpress-seo/" rel="nofollow ugc">SEO</a>. However, in version 1.4 we added a new sticky option which you can enable in the Customizer so that the notification bar remains visible as you scroll down the page. The sticky functionality makes use of the CSS sticky property (not javascript).
Although disabled by default, you can enable a close icon for your notice. When enabled, your visitors will see an “x” icon over the top bar which they can click to hide the message for their current and future sessions. This functionality makes use of localStorage (not cookies). You can also select to hide the notification bar when clicking the call to action button.

Announcer – Sticky Message Banner, Notification Bar – Add to Top, Bottom of your Website

I tried a few other banner plugins but none of them did what I needed: multiple banners displaying conditionally on specific pages.  Announcer got the job done - thank you!  A+

Worked as advertised!

After searching through quite a few announcement bar plugins, I found that this is the best one. The conditional display settings are awesome. 

Well built admin interface and front end works perfectly.

Add notification bar to your site and display any message like welcome message, promotions, coupons, news banner to the top/bottom of the page.
