Each banner is written in the standard WordPress editor and controlled from its own screen, so you can run several at once with different targeting, scheduling and styling. Here is a quick overview: #### Where a banner can appear * **Single product pages** * **Shop and category archives** * **Cart** * **Checkout** Choose any combination, and place the banner **before** or **after** the page content. #### Who sees it * **All products** – shown everywhere the chosen locations apply * **Specific categories** – only for products in the categories you pick * **Specific products** – only for the products you pick #### Scheduling Give a banner a start and end date and time and it appears and disappears on its own. Leave them empty and it runs until you unpublish it. Dates use your site’s timezone. #### Styling * Background and text colour * Padding, margin and corner radius * Your own CSS class for finer control from your theme * A display order, so several banners in the same spot stack predictably #### Block Cart and Checkout The cart and checkout banners work with both the classic shortcode pages and the newer Cart and Checkout blocks. #### Requirements WooCommerce 7.0 or later must be installed and active. Compatible with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS). ## Screenshots [⌊All banners at a glance, with each one's location, position and targeting.⌉⌊All banners at a glance, with each one's location, position and targeting.⌉[ All banners at a glance, with each one’s location, position and targeting.

Go to **WooCommerce > MCW Banners** and add your first banner. ## FAQ ### Can I run more than one banner in the same place? Yes. Set a display order on each and they stack in that order. ### Do banners work on the block-based Cart and Checkout? Yes. The cart and checkout locations work with the classic shortcode pages and with the Cart and Checkout blocks. ### What timezone do the start and end dates use? Your site’s timezone, as set in Settings > General. The field shows the abbreviation so you can confirm it. ### Can I put HTML or a shortcode in a banner? Yes. Banner content runs through the same filters as post content, so formatting, images, shortcodes and embeds all work. ### How do I stop a banner without deleting it? Set it to draft, or give it an end date in the past. ### Can I style a banner beyond the built-in options? Add your own CSS class to the banner and target it from your theme stylesheet. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Mad Cow Banners for WooCommerce” is open source software.

Ordering is now done in PHP instead of through a postmeta join, which also removes that join from every store page load. * Fixed: the Padding, Margin and Border Radius fields are now validated as CSS measurements before being written into the banner’s style attribute. A value that is not a valid measurement is rejected with a notice and the previous value is kept, instead of being passed through to the page. #### 1.0.6 * Changed: prepared for the WordPress.org plugin directory. Updates now come from WordPress.org. * Changed: the cart and checkout block banners now hook the block-specific render filters rather than the generic one, so the callback no longer runs on every block of every page. * Changed: description now mentions scheduling and the before/after content placement. * Fixed: three form values were read without unslashing before sanitisation. * Changed: tested against WordPress 7.1 and WooCommerce 11.1. #### 1.0.5 * Previous self-hosted release. ## Meta * Version **1.0.8** * Last updated **2 days ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.0 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.1.3** * PHP version ** 8.0 or higher ** * Tags * [announcements](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/announcements/)[banners](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/banners/) [notices](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/notices/)[promotions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/promotions/) [woocommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/woocommerce/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mad-cow-banners-for-woocommerce/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
