  • Un plugin simple pero completo

    Me gustó mucho. Es justo como su nombre lo indica "Easy Notification Bar". Lo recomiendo si quieres una configuración rápida y con un acabado estándar.

  • Great plugin and even better support!

    One of the best notification plugins. Lightweight and easy to configure. What's even better is the support you get from AJ. Amazing and patient with all your questions. Wish all plugin developers are like this. 5 stars!

  • Awesome Plugin

    This plugin does exactly what it says. I have an older theme which does not have an easy way to add information above the header such as an announcement. After adding this simple plugin...it automatically appeared at the top and I was able to use simple HTML to add the text. VERY easy to use. Thank you!!
