About JavaScript Notifier
From the official readme · v1.2.9Description
A simple, lightweight WordPress plugin for displaying a notification bar at the top of the webpage if 1st-party JavaScript is disabled. If appropriate, the entire website may as well be blocked by a full-page overlay instead of just a small bar.
The plugin offers configuration of background and foreground color, opacity, notification message text and font size. Individual customization by means of CSS snippets is also supported.
Installation
- Upload the plugin files to the
/wp-content/plugins/javascript-notifierdirectory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
- Use the Settings->JavaScript Notifier screen to configure the plugin
Frequently asked questions
Does JavaScript Notifier support multilingual sites?
Yes, it does. A corresponding wpml-config.xml language configuration file can be found in the plugin’s home directory.
Instead at the top, I would like to have the notification bar being displayed at the bottom of the page. Would that be possible?
Sure. Just enter the following CSS code into the Custom CSS input field: top:inherit;bottom:0
Does JavaScript Notifier cope with optimization plugins?
In order to work flicker-free, JavaScript Notifier requires one short piece of inline JavaScript code to remain in its exact place. Therefore, it should be excluded from all kind of optimization. Since the code piece is labelled hide-javascript-notifier-js, the easiest way would be to add that label to the optimization plugin’s JavaScript exclusion list, or the like.
