The site-wide notification bar lets you send short messages visible to all logged-in users on their dashboard. It’s an easy way to share updates, new products, or special offers without sending a newsletter.
What It Does
When you add a message, it appears across all user dashboards at the top of the page. This makes it ideal for quick updates such as product launches, announcements, or seasonal sales.
Where to Find It
-
Log in to your admin panel.
-
From the left menu, go to Core → Home Page Settings.
-
Click the existing record (you’ll only have one).
-
Scroll down to the section Optional / Global Settings.
-
Locate the field Announcement Bar Text.
How to Create a Message
You can type a short message (up to 200 characters). Plain text works, but you can also include a clickable link using basic HTML.
Example (with a link):
✨ Feeling flat? Get the <a href="https://zestizm.com/shop/product/the-zest-sparks-guide/">Zest Sparks Guide and start reigniting your zest for life!</a>
🌟 Get AI Search Ready! The <a href="https://zestizm.com/shop/product/the-zest-sparks-guide/">Get Your Website AI Search Ready</a> Guide is now available.Linking Tips
-
If you want only part of the text clickable, place
</a>right after the product name.
Example:Get AI Search Ready! <a href="…">Get Your Website AI-Search Ready</a> Guide and start reigniting your zest for life! -
If you want the entire sentence clickable (recommended for short messages), leave the closing tag
</a>at the end of the sentence.
After Saving
Click Save at the bottom of the page.
Your announcement will instantly appear on every user dashboard. To remove it, simply clear the text and save again.
