We use FooBar on our website fooplugins.com and it's a breeze to setup and use.

We love the new modern look

Major upgrade looks amazing

Foobar is great little plugin for adding simple notification bars, announcements and call to action bars to websites. 

The admin interface makes it very easy to set up notification bars and have them appear on one or more pages using the provided shortcode.  

For a first version of the plugin it already has a very good number of features and having chatted with the development team I know there are many more new features and improvements on the way. 

Highly recommended!

Announcer – Sticky Message Banner & Notification Bar

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 customizable WordPress notification bar to display announcements, promotions, coupons, or news at the top or bottom of your website.
