Create, manage, and display fully responsive, customizable notification bars anywhere on your WordPress site — with unlimited notices, scheduling, and shortcode support.
Zhanot is an advanced WordPress notification bar plugin that lets you create and manage responsive, fully customizable notifications across your website with ease. Build unlimited notices, style them to match your brand, schedule timed announcements, and place them at the top of your site automatically or embed them anywhere via shortcode.
Designed for marketers, store owners, and WordPress agencies, Zhanot turns site-wide announcements — sales, deadlines, promotions, alerts — into a managed content type with categories, per-notice settings, and a global settings panel for custom styling. It integrates with Elementor and WPBakery (Visual Composer) page builders, ships a dashboard widget, and includes a built-in Jalali (Shamsi) date picker for scheduling, with full Persian (fa_IR) translation included.
