Description

OffSign Scheduled Site Banner helps site owners show a clear message at the top of their site. It is useful for holiday notices, shipping delays, temporary closures, promotions, or important service updates.

The free plugin includes a complete single notice bar:

  • Enable or disable the notice.
  • Hide the notice automatically when the message is empty.
  • Schedule by date and time.
  • Choose background and text colors.
  • Choose sticky, fixed, or static placement.
  • Enable mobile marquee text for long messages.
  • Let visitors dismiss the notice in their browser.

The plugin does not track visitors, does not load remote scripts, and does not contact third-party services.
