FAQ
Announcement bar questions
How many announcement bars can I add?
As many as you like. They stack in order at the top of every page, and a disabled banner simply drops out.
Why don't my banners show?
Your theme must call wp_body_open() right after the opening body tag. Almost every modern theme does; it has been a WordPress requirement since 5.2.
Does it need ACF or a particular theme?
No. It is self-contained and works with any theme that supports wp_body_open.
Can I schedule a notice banner?
In Pro, yes. Give a banner a start, an end or both, in your site's timezone, and it switches itself on and off.
Can visitors close a banner?
In Pro, a banner can be dismissible, and the choice is remembered per visitor for as long as you set.
Is there a free version?
Yes. Free gives you unlimited banners with their own editor and colours. Pro adds scheduling, targeting, dismissible banners, bottom or sticky placement and a button.
