A very nice useful plugin to show an announcer, banner at the top of the website. A feature that i love is the possibility to schedule an announcer. Support on the forum was fast and kind.
some “is not” or “is” rule issue

This “announcer” ignore some location rule. It shows up on Homepage when it’s only supposed to show up for two categories. I found a work around since the features of this plugin are robust. Overall it’s a great plugin.
