How many announcement banners can I publish?

You can create up to 5 individually customized banners with separate announcements: Top Bar, Bottom Bar, Shortcode, Widget, and WooCommerce. But a banner placed using the Shortcode and Widget modules can be repeated. How does it work? For example, in the “Widget” module, you enter the announcement text and choose the banner design. Next, you add a widget to display the announcement in the sidebar and another widget in the footer. As a result, the same announcement text and banner design will be displayed both in the sidebar and in the footer.

You can only repeat banners with messages using widgets and shortcodes. In other modules, you can display only one banner with messages per page. If you repeat a banner using a widget or shortcode, the same banner with a message will be displayed.

Go to Appearance – Widgets and add the “DMC Promo Banner” widget. Go to the plugin settings, go to the Widget tab and activate the module. In the “Filling the banner” section, fill in the text describing your promotion or sale with incentives to increase sales. Add an action button and provide a link to your special offer.

How do I insert an informational message into a page or post?

To add an informational message to a page or post, go to the settings and use the “Shortcode” tab. Activate the module, fill out the information message and select the banner design. Go to the editor of the desired page or post, add the shortcode [dmcwzsb-sc-banner] to any block on the page, and click “Save”. If you have the block editor enabled, you may need to add the Shortcode widget to insert this shortcode. A banner with an informational message will be displayed on the front of the page or post.

To insert a banner with a special offer and a button, activate the WooCommerce module in the “WooCommerce” tab. Add your own text for a special offer, sale, promotion, or any selling text.

To add a timer to the banner (with a countdown for the FOMO effect), you need the premium version of the “DMC Promo Banner” plugin.
