FAQ

Can I customize the colors beyond the predefined options?

The free version offers predefined color schemes (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Gray/Black). For more customization options, check out MWNotif PRO.

Will the notification appear on all pages?

Yes, the notification will appear on all pages of your website when activated.

Can I show different notifications on different pages?

The free version displays the same notification across your entire site. For page-specific notifications, consider upgrading to MWNotif PRO.

How do I make the notification disappear after a certain time?

In the MW Notification settings, set the “Display Duration” to the number of seconds you want the notification to appear before automatically hiding.

Will visitors see the notification every time they visit my site?

This depends on your “Session Validity” setting:

* If set to a number of hours, the notification will reappear after that time period has passed

Can I add links or formatting to my notification text?

You can use basic formatting options including bold, italic, underline, headings, lists, and links in your notification text, but in free version only by using HTML tags.
