HashBar Pro: WordPress Announcement Bars and Popups

Share a message in a bar or popup

HashBar Pro is a WordPress add-on for creating announcement bars, notification bars, and popup campaigns. Use them to communicate promotions, product launches, shipping information, coupon messages, updates, or other calls to action. Design controls, display conditions, scheduling, live preview, analytics, and testing tools are available in one interface.

Choose how announcement bars appear

Create unlimited bars with messages of up to 500 characters. Add multiple messages and rotate them automatically at intervals from five to 60 seconds. Each bar can have a customizable call-to-action button with its own text, URL, and target. When enabled, the default button text can be filled as “Shop Now.”

Place a bar at the top or bottom of a site, and select whether it stays visible as users scroll. Set its stacking order with z-index controls and add a close button. Pro visitors can also add a reopen button so visitors can display a dismissed bar again.

Control when a dismissed bar returns: display it on every page reload or only during the current browser session. Cookie duration options include one hour, six hours, one day, seven days, two weeks, one month, or persistent dismissal. You can also set close-button text and position.

Select a template and adjust its styling

HashBar includes 18 announcement bar templates, with styles such as classic, sale alert, free shipping, information, countdown sale, coupon display, minimal elegant, holiday special, and limited stock. Pro templates include trust builder, new launch, premium gold, summer vibes, social media, bundle deal, VIP exclusive, and early bird designs. Pro also includes popup templates such as Flash Sale, Cyber Monday, and Split E-commerce.

Customize backgrounds with solid colors, gradients, pictures, or custom CSS. Pro gradients use two colors and offer four directions; picture backgrounds have cover, contain, and auto display options. Adjust font family, weight, size, text alignment, bar height from 40px to 200px, and spacing.

Set popup timing and targeting

Create eight popup campaign types, including lead capture, announcements, promotions, and exit-intent campaigns. Smart triggers include exit intent, scroll depth, and time delay. Display conditions can target pages, devices, countries, and user behavior.

Bars and popups can include countdown timers in fixed, recurring, or evergreen formats for campaign deadlines and time-sensitive messages.

Collect leads and compare campaigns

Build lead capture forms using 11 field types. HashBar includes a free Mailchimp integration for connecting form activity with that service. Use live preview to review changes before publishing.

A/B testing lets you compare campaign variations. Analytics track impressions, clicks, conversions, and click-through rate so you can review campaign performance.

Install and publish

Install HashBar Pro in WordPress and activate it. Create an announcement bar or popup campaign, choose a template or design options, configure its message, display conditions, triggers, and timing, then review it with live preview before publishing.
