Site Announcements allows you to broadcast site-wide messages to your visitors, as well as set custom parameters for the messages, 
such as the background and text color, and how long a user-hidden announcement should be hidden from users.
By default, announcements will open in a slide-down modal (showing the announcement content). Alternatively, each announcement can be configured to point to an internal or external URL. Announcements with no URL and no content will simply display user-selected text, which can be handy for broadcasting things like coupon codes or important messages to users.
Plays well with the WordPress Admin Toolbar and is mobile-friendly. Has been tested with 100+ WordPress themes and should work well on all themes. If you have theme compatibility issues, please post a support thread or contact me.
The plugin’s font sizes and families are inherited from the theme. If you wish to make adjustments to the announcement bar’s font sizes or types you will need to add custom CSS to override your theme’s styles.
Site Announcements uses animate.css for the modal transitions and JSCookie for setting a cookie if a user hides a modal.

PingBlink is an all-in-one engagement widget that sits gracefully on the corner of your website. Instead of forcing users to navigate to separate pages for support, news, or promotions, PingBlink brings everything directly to them in a sleek, modern interface.
PingBlink is built using native WordPress custom post types, meaning it is 100% compatible with the Gutenberg block editor. You can build beautiful help articles and rich-text announcements using the editor you already know and love.
Major Features: 
* Knowledge Base (Help): Create and organize help articles. Users can search for answers instantly, reducing your support load. Includes built-in helpfulness voting (Thumbs Up / Thumbs Down) with analytics. 
* Announcements (News): Publish updates, new features, or company news. Users see a pulsing notification badge when new items are available, driving engagement. 
* Promotions (Offers): Run special promotions or discounts with dedicated cards to increase conversions. 
* Fallback Contact Form: If users can’t find what they need, they can easily send a message directly from the widget. 
* Built-in Analytics: Track independent views, clicks, and Click-Through Rates (CTR) separately for News and Offers, alongside simple helpfulness voting analytics for your Knowledge Base directly inside your WordPress dashboard. 
* Smart Visibility Rules: Control exactly who sees your News and Offers by restricting visibility to logged-in users, logged-out users, or everyone. 
* Customization: Choose your primary brand color, select from multiple trigger icons (Chat Bubble, Notification Bell, Megaphone, Sparkle), and position the widget on the bottom-left or bottom-right. 
* Zero Bloat: Lightweight JavaScript and CSS ensure your site speed remains lightning-fast.
