Notibar – Notification Bar for WordPress

very nice tools

Tried several notification bar plugins and ended up using this plugin. 

Just a request - it would be great if you could add an option to exclude notification bar from specific posts/pages. (It doesn't make sense to show the bar where I'm sending the visitors to)

Great Plugin!


Clean looking design, lightweight and does what it is meant for.


Light and does the job
