    1314== Description ==
    14 Dynamic Alerts allows you to create a dynamic, customizable notification bar for your WordPress site. Add up to four messages with individual links, control speed, direction, font size, and enable or disable the bar from the admin panel.
     15Dynamic Alerts helps you create multiple scrolling notification bars (tickers) and place them anywhere on your WordPress site using a simple shortcode.
     16
     17Each bar is managed independently (its own messages and design), and includes rich customization options suitable for announcements, promotions, breaking news, and site notices.

     19= Key Features =
     20* Multiple bars: create and manage more than one notification bar

     22* Up to 4 messages per bar, each with its own optional link
     23* Motion controls: adjust scrolling speed and direction
     24* Typography controls: choose a font family and set font size
     25* Design controls: background/text colors + background opacity (transparency)
     26* Link styling: linked text inherits the chosen text color (no forced blue)
     27* Per-bar enable/disable toggle
     28* Admin interface translations: Arabic and English automatically based on dashboard language
