<p>PlgnPlay Popups is a lightweight popup manager for WordPress. Create and manage multiple popups directly from your WordPress admin without any coding required.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Multiple Popups</strong> – Create unlimited popups, each with independent settings.</li>
<li><strong>Smart Cookie Management</strong> – Popups are remembered after dismissal using cookies with a configurable duration.</li>
<li><strong>Automatic Re-display on Update</strong> – When you update a popup’s content, all visitors see the updated version regardless of prior dismissal. This uses a versioning system that invalidates old cookies.</li>
<li><strong>Media Library Integration</strong> – Add images to your popups using the built-in WordPress Media Library.</li>
<li><strong>Expiry Date Control</strong> – Set an optional expiry date after which the popup automatically stops displaying.</li>
<li><strong>Multiple Positions</strong> – Choose from Center Modal, Bottom Right Slide-in, or Top Bar.</li>
<li><strong>Display Delay</strong> – Configure a delay before the popup appears.</li>
<li><strong>Overlay Support</strong> – Optional dark overlay behind center modals.</li>
<li><strong>Accessible</strong> – Keyboard navigation support, ARIA attributes, focus management, and reduced motion support.</li>
<li><strong>Lightweight</strong> – No external dependencies. Pure vanilla JavaScript on the frontend.</li>
<li><strong>Translation Ready</strong> – Fully internationalized with proper text domain support.</li>
<li><strong>Clean Uninstall</strong> – All data is removed when the plugin is deleted.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Create a popup from the PlgnPlay Popups admin page.</li>
<li>Add your content using the WordPress editor, optionally attach an image.</li>
<li>Configure cookie duration, position, delay, and optional expiry date.</li>
<li>Activate the popup and it will display to your visitors.</li>
<li>When you update a popup, the internal version number increments, which changes the cookie identifier. This means all visitors will see the updated popup even if they previously dismissed the old version.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Use Cases</h4>
<ul>
<li>Welcome messages for new visitors</li>
<li>Promotional announcements and sale notifications</li>
<li>Cookie consent notices</li>
<li>Newsletter signup prompts</li>
<li>Important site-wide announcements</li>
<li>Event or deadline reminders</li>
</ul>

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 <strong>sticky option</strong> 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).</p>
<p>Although disabled by default, you can enable a <strong>close icon</strong> 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.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Sitewide (or homepage only) top notification bar.</li>
<li>Easy setup via the WordPress customizer.</li>
<li>Optional close icon.</li>
<li>Optional sticky display.</li>
<li>Custom background, color, text alignment and font size settings.</li>
<li>Optional callout button.</li>
<li>Responsive design so it looks good on mobile.</li>
<li>Minimal code.</li>
<li>Vanilla Javascript used for close icon (jQuery not needed).</li>
</ul>
