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 Notification Type #

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. 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,  turn the ‘Advanced Design’ toggle on. 

If you do so, you’ll get the option ‘Built with Gutenberg’, click on it & you will get all the notification bar design options. Choose the one that you prefer most & click on ‘Import.’

 In ‘Advanced Design’ you also get the flexibility to modify the notification bar to reach the maximum potential of it.

Under the ‘Design’ option, you can do a lot of customization to make your notification bar stand out. Such as changing the background color and image, making your own button color, countdown background color, countdown text color, closing button color, close button size, and position.

Plus, you can also customize the Link Button, Typography  & add Custom CSS to your Gutenberg Notification from this section.

Step 4: Customize Your Notification Bar Directly From Gutenberg Editor #

To edit everything live, click on ‘Edit with Gutenberg’ under ‘Advanced Design.’ It’ll redirect you to the Gutenberg editor.

Note: Instead of seeing something like the above images, if you see a few broken blocks, make sure you have the Essential Blocks for Gutenberg installed & activated on your WordPress website.

Now Gutenberg gives you the flexibility of editing everything in your picked notification bar. 

Click on the portion you want to edit and style the way you want from the right-side control panel. Set your notification bar exactly how you imagined. Once you’re done, revert back to NotificationX dashboard to do a few more customization.

Step 5: Set Your Notification Bar Visibility #

In the ‘Display’ tab, you can now configure its settings to choose the location of your site where you want to display your notification bar and for whom you want to display the alert.

Step 6: Customize Your Notification Bar As You Prefer #

Afterward, simply configure the settings from the ‘Customize’ tab and configure the notification bar’s appearance, timing, and behavior. You can choose the position of where to showcase the notification bar on your WordPress website, whether you want to display the bar on mobile devices, and also select if you want to add a close button. 

With the ‘Targeting’ option, you can target users who will be able to see the bar and who are not. The timing of the notification bar can also be customized from the ‘Timing’ section.

If you want to hide your bar automatically, you can do that by simply clicking on the ‘Auto Hide’ option. You have the flexibility of setting the timer for your auto-hiding.

If you want your notification bar will pop up after a few seconds your visitor come to your website, you can set that as well. You can also do this based on your visitor’s scrolling timing here.

After you have completed all the steps, click on the ‘Publish’ button.
