Description

Create emergency alerts for your website. Inspired by the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, but usable for all sorts of messaging that you need to get to your site’s users.

Includes options for text/background color, lightbox, fixed and absolute positioning. Includes some Javascript support for resizing.

You can force the alert to ALWAYS show or you can

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/wpm-emergency-alerts directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
  3. Use the Settings -> Emergnecy Alerts screen to configure the plugin
  4. If you have issues with the default output not looking right with your site, you may need to add custom CSS via the Appearance > Customize option in WordPress (see FAQs).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I only show this on certain pages?

Currently, this is only available with a filter wpm_ea_status (set to "on" for on and "off" for off).

It’s trying to auto-adjust heights, can I turn this off?

Yes simply toggle the Enable Javascript Position Adjustments to OFF.

I installed the plugin, but it looks awful! What do I do?

You may need to add custom CSS. Usually the Lightbox, Top – Fixed, and Bottom – Fixed options work well regardless of site design, but are more obtrusive.

Top/Bottom Alert Positions will be more tricky with more complex header/footer areas. If you run out of support options, you may always work with our support team by signing up for further support at https://wpmaintainer.com

Is this responsive?

Yes, our default output is responsive but every site is different. You may require some custom CSS to make things look 100% perfect!
