About HashBar Pro – WordPress Notification Bar 1.1.6

HashBar Pro adds notification, alert and offer bars to a WordPress site. According to the listing, you can create unlimited bars to tell visitors about promotions, show offer text with buttons, or show an email subscription form in the bar.

It suits announcements: a sale, free shipping, a new product, or a signup prompt. The bar sits above the page content so it is seen on arrival. The file on record is version 1.1.6, from September 2018 and originally sold on Themeforest, so test it on a staging site with your current WordPress and PHP versions before use.

Where the bar appears, how it is styled and where subscribers are stored are not described in the listing. Check the documentation in the package for those.

Is it right for you?

A good fit for

  • Shops announcing sales or shipping offers site-wide

Look elsewhere if

  • Sites that need full popup campaigns with targeting rules, which the listing does not describe
  • Anyone needing a confirmed list of email service integrations, which the listing does not give

Setup: using HashBar Pro – WordPress Notification Bar 1.1.6

  1. Test on a staging site. The file dates from September 2018, so try it with your current WordPress and PHP first.
  2. Create a bar. Open the plugin's menu in the WordPress admin and add a new notification bar.
  3. Write the message and button. Enter the offer text and set the button label and link.
  4. Add the signup form if wanted. Turn on the email subscription option and test a submission.
  5. Check the live site. View the bar on desktop and phone to make sure it does not cover your header or menu.

Common problems and fixes

The bar overlaps the site header or menu
Why it happens
A fixed or sticky header in the theme sits in the same spot as the bar.
How to fix it
Change the bar's position setting, or add a little top spacing to the header with custom CSS.
The bar does not appear after you publish it
Why it happens
A caching plugin is serving an older copy of the page.
How to fix it
Clear the page cache and any CDN cache, then reload.
“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading
Why it happens
The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
How to fix it
Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/plugins with your host's file manager or SFTP.
“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”
Why it happens
The uploaded zip is a bundle (or a theme), not the plugin itself.
How to fix it
Unzip the download once and upload the inner zip named after the plugin.
“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
Why it happens
Usually a PHP version older than the plugin needs, or a second copy of the same plugin (for example the free version) still active.
How to fix it
Check your PHP version under Tools → Site Health → Info, deactivate any other copy of the plugin, and enable WP_DEBUG_LOG to see the exact error.
Licence or “updates unavailable” notices
Why it happens
The developer's licence key isn't included. Features that call the developer's servers (template libraries, cloud APIs, automatic updates) need it.
How to fix it
Everything that runs locally works without it. For a newer file, use Request an update from your account.
