FAQ

How do I change the notification bar colors?

Go to the Mighty Notification Bar settings page in your WordPress admin. Under the “Colors” section, you can select custom background and text colors using the color picker.

Can I schedule the notification bar to appear only during specific dates?

Yes! In the “Schedule” section, you can set a start date and end date. The notification bar will only appear between these dates. Leave the fields empty for a permanent notification.

How do I make the notification bar dismissible?

In the “Behavior” section, enable the “Dismissible” option. You can also choose how long the bar stays hidden after a visitor dismisses it (from 1 day to 1 year).

What happens when I update the notification content?

When you change the notification content, button text, or button URL, the bar will automatically reappear for all visitors, even if they previously dismissed it. This ensures important updates reach everyone.

Can I target specific pages?

Yes! In the “Display Location” section, you can choose to display the notification bar on all pages, homepage only, or specific pages by entering page IDs.

Will the notification bar work with my theme?

The notification bar is designed to work with any WordPress theme. It uses the wp_body_open hook which is a WordPress standard supported by all modern themes.

Does it work on mobile devices?

Yes! The notification bar is fully responsive and works perfectly on all devices. You can also choose to display it on desktop only or mobile only using the device targeting option.

How do I add a button to the notification bar?

In the “Action Button” section, enable “Show button”, then add your button text and URL. You can choose from three button styles: Primary, Secondary, or Text.

Can I use HTML in my notification message?

The notification bar supports rich text formatting including bold, italic, and links through the visual editor. Basic HTML is sanitized for security.

Does the plugin affect page load speed?

The plugin is lightweight and optimized for performance. It uses minimal CSS and JavaScript, and assets are only loaded when needed.

Does the plugin work with WP Rocket?

Yes! The plugin is fully compatible with WP Rocket. It automatically excludes its CSS and JavaScript from minification, combination, and the “Remove Unused CSS” feature. No manual configuration needed — just clear your WP Rocket cache after installing or updating the plugin.

Is the plugin GDPR compliant?

The plugin uses cookies only if you enable the dismissible feature. The cookies are functional (not tracking) and store only the dismissal preference. You should inform users about this in your privacy policy if you enable dismissible notifications.
