Beschrijving

Met deze plugin kun je eenvoudig een banner of balk met een mededeling bovenaan je website tonen. In de instellingen kan je de kleur van de links, de tekst en de achtergrond van de balk eenvoudig aanpassen. Je kan de weergave ook helemaal naar eigen wens aanpassen door je aangepaste CSS toe te voegen. Daarnaast is er een handige voorbeeldweergave in de instellingen, zodat je je wijzigingen kan bekijken voordat je ze opslaat.

Now with multi-banner support

With Pro features you can display up to 5 separate banners on your site. Banners can be shown simultaneously or plan weeks of banners by showing them consecutively.

FAQ

Hoe ziet de banner eruit in mijn DOM?

Zo ziet de banner eruit in je HTML:

<div id="simple-banner" class="simple-banner">
  <div class="simple-banner-text">
    <span>
      YOUR SIMPLE BANNER TEXT HERE
    </span>
  </div>
</div>

The banner or changes to the banner aren’t showing up, or are only showing up when I’m logged in, what’s wrong?

Your browser frequently caches scripts associated with a website in order to improve speed and performance. There are also some
wordpress plugins that cache scripts to improve performance. If you aren’t seeing your banner or the changes you made to the banner,
first clear your browser cache and if that doesn’t work, look for any plugin that bundles or caches scripts and clear that as well.

Waarom bedekt mijn banner mijn header of staat hij achter mijn header?

Your theme probably uses absolute positioning for its header in this case. Try changing the positioning of your banner or change “Prepend element” to <header> and see if that helps. If none of this works, you may need a custom solution for your banner. You can either try to find another plugin that suits your needs or you can purchase the pro version and open a support ticket to fix your situation.

Is er een Pro versie?

Yes, but you should look through the support topics before you decide if you need the pro version.

Gebruikt deze plugin cookies?

Yes, they are used only if you enable the close button. These cookies fall under the category of “strictly necessary cookies” and do not need consent from the user, more information here.
If cookies are disabled on the user’s browser, the banners close button expiration setting will not work and the banner will show on each refresh.

Hoe schakel ik mijn banner weer in nadat ik op de knop ‘Sluiten’ heb geklikt?

Je kan de cookies van je browser wissen of in de console van de browser het volgende uitvoeren:

document.cookie = "simplebannerclosed=; expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 UTC; path=/";

You can also set your Close button expiration to blank, 0, or a date in the past. This method may require a refresh or two of the browser on your website page.

Ik heb het Divi thema en de banner wordt niet getoond.

Try setting the “Prepend element” setting to header. If that doesn’t work, set your banner position to relative and try this in ‘Website Custom CSS’:

#main-header:not(.et-fixed-header) {
  position: relative;
}
#top-header:not(.et-fixed-header) {
  position: relative;
}

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.

Also enough forum threads with useful dev answers to do more than explained in the plugin itself
