Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Varsby – Accessible Notification & Announcement Bar

Yes, you can use basic HTML tags like <strong>, <em>, and <a>.

On the settings page, fill in Button text and Button link in the Content card. Leave the button text blank to hide the button. You can style it with the button colour pickers in the Appearance card.

Yes. In the Display card, set Position to Bottom. You can also choose Behaviour: Sticky keeps the bar visible while scrolling, while Static lets it scroll away with the page.

In the Display card, set Show on pages to Front page only.

On the settings page, turn off the Show the bar to users who are logged in toggle and save.

As long as you like. In the Display card, set Stay dismissed for (days) to any value from 1 to 365 (1 day by default). Dismissal is remembered in the visitor's browser, so it works with full-page caches and CDNs.

No—scripts and styles are only loaded on the front end when the bar is enabled.

Yes. Varsby is independent of the block editor—it doesn't add any blocks, and displays the bar site-wide via a separate settings page, so it works the same whether your site uses Gutenberg, the Classic Editor, or a page builder.

Yes. Under Settings → Varsby you can save as many bars as you like and switch which one is enabled. The free version shows one bar at a time — the first enabled bar that matches the current page and device — so you can keep a library of ready-made bars and activate the right one when you need it.

Not yet. Varsby is free and fully usable as-is—one live bar, done well. A Pro version with extra features (including showing multiple bars at once) is being considered for those who need more.
