I would love to give this 5 stars - it's easy to use, powerful but not bloated, has ample controls for styles (colors, font size), location (page-specific), and it's mobile-friendly. Why not 5 stars? If it provided cookie control, I'd give it 5 stars. The cookie is currently set to terminate after 24 hours. It would be great to have the ability to specify a value; example from 0 (disabled) to 90 days.

I've been looking for a notification bar for months and finally I found one. I am really satisfied with this plugin. It does what it should and it's easy to setup or change it anytime I need to. Great!

Easy to install and configure and I love the interface plus on initially looking, it looks to be great, but dig into the code and the notification bar's performance impact on any website and it's shocking. I have noticed a number of issues related to impact on page load speeds, teh notification bar lingers over header bars in some scenarios and if you take a closer look when using certain options, if you say turn off the button the button is hidden, but whats bad is teh code, the link etc. is all left in the DOM and if that link went to a promotional page thtat you haev now taken offline for edxample and jsut hide the button, then Google can still see the link for example in the code even though its hidden and then still tries to index teh linked page taht no longer exists. Sloppy coding which could be fixed rather easily, but this is just one small point of many identified. The impact is so much, that as soon as I disable teh plugin our traffic volume and form conversions immediatly start to increase again.

The Notibar plugin is the best notification bar plugin on wordpress. I try several ones but none are at the Notibar quality level. Plus, shoutout to Ninjateam behind this plugin. They are amazingly professional and very reactive if you have a question.
