Frequently Asked Questions

Who would use this plugin?

WordPress websites that need to display timely notices on their website.

Why is my notice not displaying properly/not at all?

If you have a floating menu, or a complex WordPress theme, the Banner setting may not work well. Try using the Overlay or Leaderboard setting instead.

Who can I contact for support?

Send an email to [email protected]. Make sure to include the word “SUPPORT” in the subject of the email.

Why choose Orchestrated WordPress plugins?

We’re a digital agency – so we too understand how annoying it is to find the perfect plugin for your client – only to discover that it’s riddled with call to actions, off-brand styling, error and other messages that distracts away from the seamless experience you’re trying to offer. As such, we develop plugins that don’t invade your dashboard or dashboard menus, and function as part of the overall WordPress experience.

Simple to use, does the job

As the description says this isn't a plugin to compete with full-featured banner plugins. For quickly displaying a message related to what you're doing with the COVID-19 response though, it does the job!

Perfect little tool to get the job done!

Simple, elegant, WordPress-y... Get your urgent message across about COVID-19 (or anything else, for that matter).
