Notibar – Notification Bar for WordPress

FAQ

Can the free version display multiple notification bars?

Yes. Even on the free plan, you can create and schedule multiple bars. Manage each bar with its own content, design, and display rules.

How to control which pages or posts a bar appears on?

The free version lets you show or hide specific bars on any page or post. Just select them from the dropdown in the display settings. If you need to show/hide based on custom post types or WooCommerce products, then you will need Notibar Pro.

Can I schedule when a bar appears and disappears?

Yes. The free version includes scheduling with a start and end date/time, as well as an auto ON/OFF daily schedule, so your bars go live and expire without any manual work.

Can I show different content to mobile visitors?

Sure thing! You can set separate content and button for mobile devices, so your notification bar always looks and reads well regardless of screen size.

Can I reorder or duplicate my bars easily?

Yes. The free version includes drag-and-drop reordering and a one-click duplicate option, making it quick to manage and experiment with your bars.

Is it possible to use custom HTML or CSS in my notification bars?

Yes, both HTML and CSS are supported in the free version, so developers can fully customize the look and content of the announcements. Moreover, you can use CSS to force the notification display/swap before lazyloading or make it compatible with your caching system.

Can a bar reappear after a visitor closes it?

Yes, you can configure each bar to re-display after a specified period, so returning visitors will see it again after a set amount of time.

Is Notibar free?

Yes. Notibar is free and includes everything you need to run multiple notification bars: content & styling, HTML/CSS support, mobile-specific content, 3-state dismiss, per-bar page/post display rules, and Export/Import.

Notibar Pro adds advanced conversion tools on top of the free plugin:

• Rotation mode (A/B testing): cycle multiple bars by sequence or random, with a custom interval and pause-on-hover
• Targeting by custom post type (including WooCommerce products)
• Advanced reports: per-bar click & dismiss tracking
• Display a bar at the bottom of the screen
• Conditional display by user role or specific users

Does conditional display by role/user work with page caching?

Role and user targeting (a Pro feature) is evaluated on the server, so a full-page cache that serves one cached HTML to every visitor can show the wrong bars. The standard fix, which is used by virtually every membership/role-aware plugin, is to exclude logged-in users from the page cache (most caching plugins do this by default). Logged-out visitors all correctly receive the “logged-out / everyone” set; logged-in users then get their role/user-specific bars evaluated fresh.

Does Notibar support multilingual sites (WPML / Polylang)?

WPML: Yes. Notibar v3.0+ integrates with the WPML String Translation addon. After you publish a bar, its text, button label, and button URL are auto-registered as translatable strings under the notibar domain. Translate them in WPML → String Translation, and the right language renders automatically on the front-end. Both WPML core and the String Translation addon must be active, without the addon, Notibar silently serves the original strings.

Polylang: Polylang support in v3.0 is a documented stub only — there is no automatic per-bar string registration. If you need Polylang translation today, register each string manually with pll_register_string() from a child-theme or custom-plugin hook (the string names follow the pattern bar-{id}-text, bar-{id}-textMobile, bar-{id}-buttonText, etc., and live in the notibar domain). Full Polylang integration is planned for a future v3.2+ release.

Which themes does this notification top bar work with?

Notibar plugin is built to work wonderfully with all Elementor themes, block themes and other WordPress page builders.

Is this top bar compliant with GDPR?

Absolutely! Notibar doesn’t collect or store any personal information. So rest assured.
