## Description

SnapBar adds a simple, customizable notification bar to the top of your WordPress
site. Perfect for announcements, promotions, or important messages.

**Why SnapBar?**

Most notification bar plugins have 40+ settings, upsell nags, and features you’ll
never use. SnapBar gives you exactly what you need:

 * Rich text message with bold, italic, and links
 * Customizable bar and text colors
 * Close button with “don’t show again” cookie
 * Auto-close timer
 * URL targeting (show on specific pages or exclude pages)
 * Mobile visibility toggle
 * Date scheduling (start/end dates)
 * Admin preview mode — see the bar before enabling it
 * No jQuery on the front end — pure vanilla JS
 * Single-file plugin — lightweight and fast

**12 settings. 3 tabs. That’s it.**

## Installation

 1. Upload the `snapbar` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu
 3. Go to Settings > SnapBar
 4. Write your message, pick your colors, enable the bar

## FAQ

### How do I preview the bar without enabling it?

Click the “Preview Bar” button on the settings page. It opens your site with the
bar visible only to you.

### Can I show the bar only on certain pages?

Yes. Under Targeting & Behavior, choose “Only matching URLs” and enter URL patterns(
one per line). For example, entering “shop” will match /shop, /shop/products, etc.

### Does this plugin use jQuery?

Not on the front end. The admin settings page uses jQuery (which WordPress already
loads in admin), but the visitor-facing bar is pure vanilla JavaScript.

### Can I add links in the message?

Yes. The message editor supports bold, italic, links, and basic HTML — the same 
editor you use for WordPress posts.
