FAQ
-
Can I have more than one sticky bar?
-
The plugin is intentionally designed for one focused notification bar. Multiple bars can fragment visitor attention.
-
Will the bar cover my content?
-
When the sticky option is enabled the plugin automatically adds body padding equal to the bar height so no content is obscured.
-
Dismissal is stored in
sessionStorage, so it persists for the browser session (until the tab or browser is closed). -
Is it compatible with page builders?
-
Yes. The bar is injected via
wp_body_open(with awp_footerfallback) and is independent of any page builder.
