Easy Notification Bar

1.6

• Optimized the way the notice is displayed on load to prevent CLS issues. The plugin now adds an inline script in the header before the notice which checks the localStorage to see if the notice is disabled and if so it will add a classname to the HTML tag to hide it via inline CSS. This allows you to also defer the front.js and front.css scripts without issues. If the notice is disabled the plugin will now also remove the scripts and HTML from the DOM as they are not needed.
• Updated The “has-easy-notification-bar” classname is now added to the HTML tag instead of the body tag.

1.5

• Added options: Close Action, Displace Button, Vertical Padding, Horizontal Padding, Button Placement, Button Font Weight and Button Border Radius.
• Added custom JavaScript event “easy-notification-bar:close” in case you want to perform any actions when the notification bar is closed.
• Updated the frontend CSS which has been optimized to use modern flex styles and CSS variables. Please check any custom CSS you were using to modify the design!
• Updated the button so it now displays as an inline-block to ensure padding works properly and prevents overflow issues.
• Updated the button so it can be set to hide the notification as well.
• Fixed the message now passes through wp_kses_post when displaying on the frontend to strip out unwanted characters.

• Fixed issue in the Customizer that could cause the rest of the page to not render when making edits to the notification bar.

1.4.6

• Added new option added to customize the button padding.
• Updated there was some CSS loaded on the frontend that was only needed in the customizer. This will now load in it’s own file when the customizer is open to prevent frontend bloat.

1.4.5

• Fixed incompatibility issues with the AMP plugin (removed the collapsible functionality when using amp).

1.4.4
