How To Configure A Notification Bar In Gutenberg With NotificationX? #
Before getting started, make sure you have installed and activated NotificationX on your WordPress website.
Step 1: Add New Notification #
Go to your WordPress Dashboard and navigate to wp-admin → NotificationX. Then, right at the top, click on ‘Add New’.
Step 2: Choose Press Bar As Source #
After completing step 1, you will be redirected to the ‘Source’ tab page of your NotificationX. You can also set a title and select ‘Notification Bar’ as your Notification type. Then, ‘Press Bar’ will be automatically selected as your Source. Afterward, go ahead & click on the ‘Next’ button.
Step 3: Customize The Design #
From the ‘Design’ tab, you can choose a theme and customize it as per your preference. To use a notification bar in Gutenberg, use a layout and customize depending on your needs, hit the ‘Built With Gutenberg’ button.
You will get multiple layouts built with the Gutenberg editor for notification bar alerts. Select one depending on your design and content needs and hit the ‘Import’ button.
After selecting a layout, you can also choose to edit and customize the design and content to match your website brand tone. For that, hit the ‘Edit With Gutenberg’ button.
You also have the flexibility to use the ‘Advanced Design’ option to modify the notification to reach the maximum potential.
Once done, tap the ‘Next’ button to go to the ‘Content’ tab.
Step 4: Customize The Content #
From the ‘Content’ tab, you can enable ‘Countdown Timer’ and select to close permanently with a permanent close box. On the Countdown section, you can choose text, start date, end date, etc. However, if you want advanced features like ‘Evergreen Timer’, you need to install and activate NotificationX PRO.
