Overview
Easily add a custom top bar notification message to on your site with live customization options via the WordPress customizer. The plugin allows you to enter your notification bar text as well as an optional button to display next to your text. Perfect for notifying visitors of a current sale, hot product, warnings or other important messages.
The Easy Notification Bar plugin makes use of the newer “wp_body_open” action hook introduced in WordPress 5.2.0 which allows the plugin to work better with any theme that has been updated to support the tag.

Me gustó mucho. Es justo como su nombre lo indica “Easy Notification Bar”. Lo recomiendo si quieres una configuración rápida y con un acabado estándar.
Great plugin and even better support!

One of the best notification plugins. Lightweight and easy to configure. What’s even better is the support you get from AJ. Amazing and patient with all your questions. Wish all plugin developers are like this. 5 stars!

This plugin does exactly what it says. I have an older theme which does not have an easy way to add information above the header such as an announcement. After adding this simple plugin…it automatically appeared at the top and I was able to use simple HTML to add the text. VERY easy to use. Thank you!!
