Super!

They said it wasn't tested with the latest WP but it seems to work fine.

It is simple and you can adjust the color and size of your text in your Customize panel.

I love the simplicity of it!

The plugin broke my WordPress

The plugin broke my WordPress site which became very slow (latest version), even after uninstallation.
I had to do a site restoration.

Already indicated by others here and no answer…

Slows down admin - do not use!

By jakclark on June 22, 2023

Exactly as the title says. I had to remove this from a site we have just taken over after I determined that this was the cause of a slow admin. Avoid at all costs!

Doesn't work

By calfree on March 22, 2022

Even after deleting the announcement it still displays on the site. Support is also non-existing so all in all just another example of bad coding.

Slowed Down Admin Panel

Completely slowed down the entire admin panel on my website - every click to anything took 20+ seconds to open

Perfect
