Simple Banner – Easily add multiple Banners/Bars/Notifications/Announcements to the top or bottom of your website

The plugin is very good and practical. I needed to update WordPress to the latest version for it to work. My only observation is that there’s no option to edit the banner for mobile display, as it becomes too large. And if you reduce the font size, it also gets smaller for desktop display. Another observation: one of the GitHub links is showing an error. Otherwise, thank you for the free option!

I’m really impressed with how easy Simple Banner is to get up and running. The installation was seamless, and the configuration options are straightforward without being overwhelming.

A standout feature for me is that it is truly responsive; it looks and functions perfectly on both mobile and desktop without needing extra CSS tweaks.

I did run into one small setup issue, but I was able to clear it up almost immediately by reading through the developer’s responses to past questions in the support forum. It’s great to see a developer who is so helpful and active.

If you need a lightweight notification bar that just works, this is the one!

Handy plugin that works well, plus responsive developer. Been using this for quite a while, thanks!

This plugin is exactly what I expected, simple to use and straight-forward. I had some funky settings going on with the website that were causing some issues but the developer went above and beyond to support. The issue had nothing to do with the plugin, it was WP Engine causing all the problems, but the developer was graciously willing to troubleshoot and resolve it when they didn’t even have to since it was nothing caused by the plugin. 5/5 stars all the way around. I’d use anything this developer makes in the future.

EDIT to 5-star rating due to responsiveness of the dev!!!

This was exactly what I had hoped for: a simple, way to add a one-line banner message to my websites… except it doesn’t work (reliably) with Divi from Elegant Themes. To be fair, it might work with Divi given enough time and CSS experimentation (using the Divi suggestions provided by the plug-in author, and more) but after about 20 minutes of trial-n-error I cannot get it to work in combination with Divi’s function to “hide header until scroll.” Then again, neither does any other “banner” plug-in I’ve tried, where that Divi setting is used. Yes, I can use the Divi Theme Builder itself to create a custom layout with an extra “banner” section at the top of the header – and that’s a hassle I don’t need for the 40-50 sites I manage. Thus my quest for a simple banner solution continues… Giving this one 3-stars for a pretty good backend implementation – it just won’t work with Divi in my particular config state.
