This plugin is perfect for developers who want to keep using the simple `alert()` function in their code but want a better user experience. No need to change your existing JavaScript code – just install and enjoy beautiful alerts! #### Key Features **10 Beautiful Themes**: Classic, Basic, Clean, Pro, Native, Sleek Dark, Glassmorphism, Cyberpunk, Minimalist, and Royal Luxury themes to match any website **Console Interception**: Automatically override console.log(), console.warn(), and console.info() to trigger custom alert modals **Confirm Override**: Prettier window.confirm() dialogs returning Promises **Tabbed Admin UI**: Tab-based settings dashboard for an organized administration experience **Customizable Button Text**: Change the “OK” button text to anything you want **Multilingual Ready**: Full translation support with .pot file included** Analytics Tracking**: Track impressions and clicks (optional) **Display Rules**: Show alerts only on specific pages or post types **Alert Types**: Success, Warning, Error, Info alerts with different colors/icons **Sound Alerts**: Optional sound notifications **Delay Options**: Set delays before alerts appear **Animations**: Fade, slide, zoom, and bounce animations **Auto-close Timer**: Set alerts to auto- close after X seconds **Shortcode Support**: `[pretty_alert message="Your message"]`** Fully Responsive**: Works on all screen sizes **Accessibility Ready**: ARIA labels, keyboard navigation, screen reader support **Page Load Alerts**: Show alerts automatically when pages load #### How It Works Pretty Alert hooks into the native `window.alert()` function and replaces it with a custom implementation. When your JavaScript code calls `alert("message")`, it automatically shows your beautiful custom alert instead of the browser’s default one. **Important Note**: The custom alert is not synchronous like the native one. Script execution continues immediately after showing the alert. This is actually better for user experience but different from the blocking behavior of native alerts. ### Translations * Pretty Alert is fully translation ready!

Upload the `pretty-alert` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Go to Settings Pretty Alert to configure your alert settings 4. That’s it! Your `alert()` calls will now show beautiful dialogs ## FAQ ### Does this break my existing JavaScript code? No! Pretty Alert is designed to be a drop-in replacement. Your existing `alert(" message")` calls will continue to work, but will show the beautiful custom alert instead. ### Why does the script continue running after my alert? The native `alert()` function blocks JavaScript execution until the user clicks OK. This is terrible for user experience. Pretty Alert uses an asynchronous approach that doesn’t block execution. If you need to run code after the user closes the alert, use the callback function: ``` `javascript ``` alert(“Are you sure?”, { success: function() { console.log(“User clicked OK!”);// Your code here } }); ### Can I use different alert types? Yes! You can create different types of alerts: javascript // Basic alert alert(“Default alert”); // Success alert alert(“Operation completed!”, { type: “success” }); // Warning alert alert(“Warning!”, { type: “warning” }); // Error alert alert(“Something went wrong”, { type: “error” }); // Info alert alert(“Information”, { type: “info” }); ### How do I test the alerts? Go to Settings Pretty Alert Click the “Test Alert” button You can also test directly in browser console: javascript alert(“Test message”); ### Can I restore the original alert() function? Yes, if needed: javascript alert.restore(); ### Can I use HTML in alert messages? By default, messages are escaped for security. If you need HTML, you can enable it in the settings or use the custom content option. ### Does it work with page builders? Yes! Pretty Alert works with Elementor, Gutenberg, WPBakery, and other page builders. You can also use the shortcode [pretty_alert] in any content area. ### Can I show alerts only to logged-in users? Yes! Use the Display Rules in settings to control where alerts appear. ### Can I intercept console.log, console.warn, and console.info calls? Yes! In the “Console Intercept” settings tab, you can enable override options. Once enabled, calls like `console.log("data")` will trigger custom alert boxes on the page, perfect for debugging or visibility. Original browser console outputs are preserved. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Pretty Alert” is open source software.
