A WordPress Customise Widget to add a global website banner, styled using a <a href="https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.4/components/alerts/" rel="nofollow ugc">Bootstrap alert box</a>.
The plugin assumes that you’re already using Bootstrap, so you need to load the Bootstrap javascript and CSS separately.
<ul>
<li><a href="http://getbootstrap.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Download Twitter Bootstrap</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.bootstrapcdn.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Bootstrap CDN</a> (directly link CSS and javascript files)</li>
<li><a href="https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.4/components/alerts/" rel="nofollow ugc">Bootstrap Alerts in action</a></li>
</ul>
Once installed, you can add the alert to the correct location in your theme (for example, in <code>header.php</code> with the <code>global_bootstrap_banner()</code> function. 
For example:
<pre><code>if (function_exists('global_bootstrap_banner')){
 echo global_bootstrap_banner();
}
</code></pre>
If you prefer, you can use a shortcode instead:
<pre><code>[global-bootstrap-banner]
</code></pre>
<h4>Shortcode Options</h4>
The plugin works best when using the Customizer interface. However, if you wish you can use a shortcode and override most fields.

</ul>
</li>
<li><code>dismiss_expiry</code> (default <code>14</code>)

</ul>
</li>
<li><code>dismiss_id</code>
<ul>
<li>Random string to use for the dismissal cookie. Use a new one to force it to show for everyone.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>alert_before</code> (default <code><div class="global-bootstrap-banner container"></code>)
<ul>
<li>HTML to use before the alert.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>alert_after</code> (default <code></div></code>)
<ul>
<li>HTML to use after the alert.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>header_before</code> (default <code><h4 class="global-bootstrap-banner-heading alert-heading"></code>)
<ul>
<li>HTML to use before the heading.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>header_after</code> (default <code></h4></code>)
<ul>
<li>HTML to use after the heading.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>link_before</code> (default <code></code>)
<ul>
<li>HTML to use before the button.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>link_after</code> (default <code></code>)
<ul>
<li>HTML to use after the button.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
For example, a simple shortcode usage would be:
<pre><code>[global-bootstrap-banner body_text="This alert says something different"]
</code></pre>
Note that the shortcode first takes the settings from the Customizer and then overwrites these. 
So the above shortcode would show a header if it is set in the Customizer settings.
