Free Forever on WordPress.org

A Sticky Bar Your Visitors Will Actually Notice

Live

Heralda 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, and analytics.

Version 1.0.1

2 bar types free — Announcement & Promo
8 ready-made color presets
0 jQuery dependency — vanilla JS only
Free forever, no restrictions or nag screens

How it works

1

Install & Create a Bar

Install Heralda, go to Heralda Bars → Add New, and choose Announcement or Promo (with a built-in countdown).

2

Style, Schedule & Target

Pick a color preset or customize it, set a start/end date, and choose which pages the bar should appear on.

3

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

Free

Two bar types out of the box — site-wide notices or promos with a built-in countdown for time-limited offers.

Dismissible with Custom Duration

Free

Visitors can close the bar, and it stays hidden for as many days as you choose — stored in their own browser's localStorage.

Scheduling

Free

Set a start and end date so a bar appears and disappears automatically — no manual toggling.

Page Targeting

Free

Show a bar site-wide, or restrict it to only the pages you pick.

8 Color Presets & Custom Pickers

Free

Ready-made color combinations, or full control with custom color pickers for background and text.

Design Presets & Templates

Free

One-click Minimal, Bold, Corporate, and Playful presets, plus starter templates and a live editor preview.

Floating or Full-Width Style

Free

An inset, rounded, shadowed "floating" bar as an alternative to the classic full-width bar.

No jQuery, Loads Only When Needed

Free

A vanilla-JS frontend script — the bar's CSS/JS are only enqueued on pages where a bar will actually render.

Multiple Bars with Priority Queue

Pro

Show several bars at once instead of just one, with a priority order and correct stacking as bar heights change.

Extra Bar Types

Pro

Adds Social Share and a live WooCommerce Free Shipping Progress bar that updates instantly as the visitor's cart changes.

Advanced Targeting

Pro

Target by user role, device type, and page-exclusion rules, on top of Free's page targeting.

Recurring Schedules & Analytics

Pro

Weekly/monthly repeating schedules, plus local views/clicks analytics stored in your own site's database.

A/B Testing & Secondary CTA

Pro

Test bar message variants without disturbing the bar's icon or countdown, and add a second CTA button alongside the first.

Frequently asked questions

Can I show more than one bar at the same time?
The free version always shows a single bar — if more than one published bar matches the current page and schedule, the most recently published one is shown. Showing multiple bars at once with a priority queue is a Heralda Pro feature.
Does this plugin slow down my site?
No. The bar's CSS and JavaScript are only enqueued on pages where an active bar will actually render, and the frontend script does not depend on jQuery.
Where is the dismissed state stored?
In the visitor's browser, via localStorage. Nothing is stored on the server or sent anywhere.
Can I place a bar manually inside a page instead of at the top/bottom of the site?
Yes — use the `[heralda_bar id="123"]` shortcode with the ID of the bar you want to embed.
Do I need Heralda Pro, or is the free version enough?
The free version is fully functional forever — one bar at a time with full styling, scheduling, and page targeting, and no restrictions or nag screens. Pro is worth it if you need multiple simultaneous bars, extra bar types, advanced targeting, recurring schedules, or analytics.
How is Heralda Pro licensed?
Through Freemius, with a 7-day free trial. Heralda Pro is a separate plugin that requires the free Heralda plugin to be installed and active — it is not sold on WordPress.org.
