Frequently Asked Questions

How do I create multiple rotating messages?

For the Carousel style, separate your messages with ” | ” (pipe symbol with spaces). For example: “First message | Second message | Third message”

Can I use emojis in my announcement?

Yes! The plugin fully supports emojis. Just paste them directly into the announcement text field. 😊

Will this work with my theme?

Announcement Notification Bar is designed to work with any properly coded WordPress theme. The announcement notification bar uses fixed positioning and shouldn’t interfere with your theme’s layout.

Can visitors close the announcement notification bar?

Yes, you can enable the close button option in the settings. When visitors close the announcement notification bar, it won’t show again during their current session.

Does it work on mobile devices?

Absolutely! The announcement notification bar is fully responsive and adapts to different screen sizes automatically.

Can I choose which pages show the announcement notification bar?

Yes, you have full control over where the announcement notification bar appears. You can choose homepage, blog page, and select specific post types.

Can I position the announcement notification bar at the bottom of the page?

Yes! You can choose to display the announcement notification bar at either the top or bottom of your website. You can also enable sticky positioning to make it stay visible when scrolling.

Does the announcement notification bar affect my site’s performance?

No! The plugin is highly optimized and uses minimal resources. It only loads its assets when the announcement notification bar is enabled and displayed.
