Simple Banner Pro

Show banners together or in sequence

Simple Banner Pro places short announcements, notifications, and other messages at the top or bottom of a WordPress site. In the settings, select link, text, and background colors, then preview the wording and appearance before saving.

The Pro features support up to five separate banners. Display them simultaneously when several messages should be visible at once, or consecutively to plan notices for different weeks. Consecutive banners can be used for event reminders planned for different weeks, rotating notices, campaigns, or site updates.

Adjust styling and placement

Custom CSS lets you tailor the banner's presentation beyond the standard color controls. Position controls and the Prepend element setting affect where the banner is added.

With an absolutely positioned theme header, a banner may appear behind or over the header. Changing the banner position or the Prepend element setting may help. For Divi, try header as the Prepend element value, or use relative positioning and site custom CSS.

Close button and cookie behavior

When enabled, the close button uses a cookie to remember the visitor's closed-banner state. These are described as strictly necessary cookies. If the visitor's browser disables cookies, the expiration setting will not work and the banner will appear again on each refresh.

Set the close-button expiration in the banner configuration. To display a previously closed banner again, clear the relevant browser cookie or set the expiration to blank, zero, or a date in the past. A page refresh may be needed.

Setup and troubleshooting

Install Simple Banner Pro on your WordPress site, open its settings, and configure the banner content and appearance. Review the preview, save the settings, and check the front end. If caching hides a new banner or change, clear the browser cache and any extension cache that bundles or caches scripts.

If a theme positioning issue remains, review the relevant support topics. Pro visitors can open a support ticket for help with their banner setup.
