A Sticky Bar Your Visitors Will Actually Notice
LiveHeralda adds a clean, fast sticky bar to the top or bottom of your WordPress site for announcements, promotions, and time-limited offers — with scheduling, page targeting, and a built-in countdown. Heralda Pro adds multiple simultaneous bars, extra bar types, advanced targeting with frequency capping and traffic-source rules, and analytics.
How it works
Install & Create a Bar
Install Heralda, go to Heralda Bars → Add New, and choose Announcement or Promo (with a built-in countdown).
Style, Schedule & Target
Pick a color preset or customize it, set a start/end date, and choose which pages the bar should appear on.
Publish
Publish the bar — Heralda shows it to matching visitors automatically, with dismiss, sticky positioning, and the countdown handled for you.
What's included
Announcement & Promo Bars
FreeTwo bar types out of the box — site-wide notices or promos with a built-in countdown for time-limited offers.
Dismissible with Custom Duration
FreeVisitors can close the bar, and it stays hidden for as many days as you choose — or until they close their browser — remembered in their own browser's storage.
Scheduling
FreeSet a start and end date so a bar appears and disappears automatically — no manual toggling.
Page Targeting
FreeShow a bar site-wide, or restrict it to only the pages you pick.
16 Color Presets & Custom Pickers
FreeSixteen ready-made color combinations, every one readable at WCAG AA contrast — or full control with custom color pickers for background and text.
Design Presets & Templates
FreeOne-click Minimal, Bold, Corporate, Playful, and Promo presets, plus starter templates and a live editor preview.
Full-Width, Floating or Pill Style
FreeA classic edge-to-edge bar, an inset rounded "floating" bar, or a fully rounded pill — with an optional thin, thick, dashed, or accent-line border.
Icon Animation & CTA Placement
Free7 built-in icons with an optional pulse, wiggle, or bounce that plays three times and stops (skipped for visitors who prefer reduced motion), and a CTA button inline, at the edge of the bar, or below the text.
No jQuery, Loads Only When Needed
FreeA vanilla-JS frontend script — the bar's CSS/JS are only enqueued on pages where a bar will actually render.
Accessible by Default
FreeScreen readers find the bar as a labelled "Announcement" region, the countdown is not read out every second, the close button works with the keyboard, has a visible focus outline and is at least 24×24 px, and visitors who prefer reduced motion get no slide, fade or icon animation.
Multiple Bars with Priority Queue
ProShow several bars at once instead of just one, with a priority order and correct stacking as bar heights change.
Extra Bar Types
ProAdds Social Share and a live WooCommerce Free Shipping Progress bar that updates instantly as the visitor's cart changes.
Advanced Targeting
ProTarget by user role, device type, and page-exclusion rules, on top of Free's page targeting.
Frequency Capping
ProStop showing a bar after a set number of views per visit, 24 hours, 7 days, or all time. Only views the visitor actually saw count, so a dismissed or hidden bar does not use up the limit.
Traffic-Source Targeting
ProShow a bar only to — or hide it from — visitors arriving with specific utm_source, utm_medium, or utm_campaign values, or from specific referring sites, including direct visits. The source is remembered for the rest of the visit.
Recurring Schedules & Analytics
ProWeekly/monthly repeating schedules, plus local views, clicks and conversions stored in your own site's database. Views are counted in the visitor's browser only when a bar is actually shown, so they stay accurate with full-page caching.
Conversion Goals
ProChoose what counts as a conversion for each bar: a click on the main button or either button, a visit to a page such as /thank-you/, or a WooCommerce order. Page visits and orders count within 7 days of seeing the bar. The bar list shows conversions and conversion rate, per variant for A/B tests.
A/B Testing & Secondary CTA
ProTest bar message variants without disturbing the bar's icon or countdown, and add a second CTA button alongside the first.
