## વર્ણન

Varsby displays a simple, fully customizable notification bar for announcements,
promotions and urgent alerts — and it’s the one that’s genuinely accessible: the
bar it renders conforms to WCAG 2.2 AA, a differentiator most announcement-bar plugins
skip. Features include:

 * Save a library of notification bars and switch which one is live — keep a Black
   Friday bar, a maintenance notice and a sale banner ready, and enable the one 
   you need without redoing your work. The free version shows one bar at a time.
 * Message text with basic HTML support (`<strong>`, `<em>`, `<a>`).
 * Optional call-to-action button with its own text, link, colours and “open in 
   new tab” option.
 * Background, text and button color pickers, plus an adjustable font size.
 * Position the bar at the top or bottom, sticky (stays visible) or static (scrolls
   away).
 * Show site-wide, on the front page only, or everywhere except the front page.
 * Show on desktop, mobile, or both.
 * Toggle visibility for logged-in users.
 * Visitors can dismiss the bar — it then stays hidden for a duration you choose(
   1 to 365 days, 1 day by default). Each bar remembers its own dismissal, so hiding
   one never suppresses another.
 * Lightweight: only enqueues assets when needed.

Whether you need a sticky notification bar, a promo or sale banner, a floating call-
to-action bar, or a simple header announcement bar, Varsby stays lightweight and
only loads its assets when the bar is actually shown.

## સ્થાપન

 1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to **Plugins**  **Add New**.
 2. Search for **Varsby**.
 3. Click **Install Now**, then **Activate**.
 4. Go to **Settings**  **Varsby** to configure your message, button, colours and display
    options.

## એફએક્યુ (FAQ)

### Can I include HTML in my alert message?

Yes, you can use basic HTML tags like `<strong>`, `<em>`, and `<a>`.

### How do I add a button?

On the settings page, fill in **Button text** and **Button link** in the Content
card. Leave the button text blank to hide the button. You can style it with the 
button colour pickers in the Appearance card.

### Can I show the bar at the bottom of the page?

Yes. In the Display card, set **Position** to _Bottom_. You can also choose **Behaviour**:
_Sticky_ keeps the bar visible while scrolling, while _Static_ lets it scroll away
with the page.

### How do I show the bar only on the homepage?

In the Display card, set **Show on pages** to _Front page only_.

### How do I disable the bar for logged-in users?

On the settings page, turn off the **Show the bar to users who are logged in** toggle
and save.

### How long does the bar stay hidden after a visitor dismisses it?

As long as you like. In the Display card, set **Stay dismissed for (days)** to any
value from 1 to 365 (1 day by default). Dismissal is remembered in the visitor’s
browser, so it works with full-page caches and CDNs.

### Will it slow down my site?

No—scripts and styles are only loaded on the front end when the bar is enabled.

### Does it work with the block editor / Gutenberg?

Yes. Varsby is independent of the block editor—it doesn’t add any blocks, and displays
the bar site-wide via a separate settings page, so it works the same whether your
site uses Gutenberg, the Classic Editor, or a page builder.

### Can I create more than one bar?

Yes. Under **Settings**  **Varsby** you can save as many bars as you like and switch
which one is enabled. The free version shows one bar at a time — the first enabled
bar that matches the current page and device — so you can keep a library of ready-
made bars and activate the right one when you need it.

### Is there a Pro version?

Not yet. Varsby is free and fully usable as-is—one live bar, done well. A Pro version
with extra features (including showing multiple bars at once) is being considered
for those who need more.

## ચેન્જલૉગ

#### 1.2.1

 * Added a second “Add new bar” button below the list of bars, so it’s within reach
   on longer lists without scrolling back to the top.
 * Made the “All bars” back-link on the edit screen more prominent.
 * Housekeeping under the hood; no change to how your bars look or behave. Your 
   existing bars and settings carry over unchanged.

#### 1.2.0

 * New: save a library of notification bars and switch which one is live. The settings
   screen is now a list of your bars — add, edit, duplicate and delete them — with
   an optional name to tell them apart. The free version still shows one bar at 
   a time.
 * New: when several enabled bars could match, Varsby now shows the first one that
   fits the current page and device, instead of always trying the first saved bar.
   A bar scoped to (say) the front page no longer blanks the announcement on other
   pages when another bar could show there.
 * New: each bar remembers its own dismissal, so dismissing one bar never hides 
   a different bar. Existing dismissals of your current bar are preserved across
   the update.
 * Your existing bar and all its settings carry over unchanged.

#### 1.1.9

 * Added developer hooks for extending the bar: the `varsby3u5c49_before_render`
   and `varsby3u5c49_after_render` actions, and the `varsby3u5c49_bar_atts` filter
   for adding attributes to the bar wrapper. No change to how the bar looks or behaves.

#### 1.1.8

 * Added a configurable dismissal duration: choose how many days a dismissed bar
   stays hidden (1 to 365, 1 day by default) under **Settings**  **Varsby**. Previously
   this was fixed at 24 hours.
 * Hardened the dismiss button’s keyboard focus ring so it stays visible on themes
   that remove focus outlines globally.

#### 1.1.7

 * Fixed a fixed top bar being hidden behind a theme’s own fixed or sticky header(
   such as Divi’s). The bar shared the same position at the top of the page, and
   the header — sitting at a higher stacking order — painted over it. The bar now
   pushes such a header down by its own height so it sits above it, and layers itself
   above the header as a safeguard. Themes with a normal-flow header are unaffected.

#### 1.1.6

 * Removed the manual `load_plugin_textdomain()` call. WordPress automatically loads
   translations for plugins hosted on WordPress.org since version 4.6, so the call
   was redundant and is flagged as discouraged by Plugin Check. No effect on translations.

#### 1.1.5

 * Fixed a fixed bottom bar still overlapping the footer on some full-height “sticky
   footer” themes (such as Neve) where the page wrapper has `overflow: hidden` and
   a `border-box` `min-height`, which absorbs the padding added in 1.1.4. The bar
   now checks whether padding the wrapper actually freed space below the footer 
   and, if not, spaces the scroll container itself instead.
 * Admin: choosing a static bottom bar now shows a short heads-up that, because 
   it renders after the page content, it can sit below the fold on short pages —
   with a nudge to use “Sticky” for an always-visible bar.

#### 1.1.4

 * Fixed a fixed bottom bar overlapping the footer on themes with a full-height “
   sticky footer” layout (such as Astra). These themes pin the footer to the viewport
   bottom, so the bar is now cleared by padding that wrapper directly rather than
   by a page margin, which those layouts ignore.

#### 1.1.3

 * Fixed a doubled gap that appeared above (or below) the page content on themes
   that set `overflow` other than `visible` on the `body` element, such as Astra.
   The offset that pushes content clear of a fixed bar is now applied only to the
   root `html` element, so it no longer stacks.

#### 1.1.2

 * Added a non-intrusive admin notice inviting a WordPress.org review, shown after
   the settings have been saved a few times over a few days — with “Maybe later”(
   snoozes for 60 days) and “No thanks” options.
 * CSS selectors for the bar and its device-targeting rules are now attribute-based
   instead of ID-based, so multiple bar instances can render correctly on the same
   page.
 * Improved accessibility of the bar landmark: the wrapper now carries a named region
   role and a live region so screen readers can navigate to it and catch dynamic
   changes.
 * Replaced the dismiss span with a real `<button>` element so it is keyboard-accessible
   without extra scripting, and added a visible focus ring.
 * Focus now moves to the main content area after the bar is dismissed, so keyboard
   users are not left without a clear position on the page.
 * CTA button: screen readers are now told when the button opens in a new tab.
 * Admin: colour pickers are now grouped into labelled “Bar colours” and “Button
   colours” pairs, each with an inline contrast indicator showing a live sample,
   ratio, and WCAG AA pass/fail rating.
 * Admin: help text below the message field and behaviour option is now programmatically
   linked to its input, so screen readers read it when the field is focused.
 * Admin: the “Open in new tab” and “Show to logged-in users” toggles are now properly
   labelled for screen readers.
 * Added a `prefers-reduced-motion` guard so any future bar transitions are automatically
   suppressed for users who have requested reduced motion in their OS.
 * Admin: added a `prefers-contrast: more` stylesheet so labels, borders, and help
   text are easier to read for users who have enabled high contrast in their OS.
 * Admin: fixed the message field help hint displaying raw HTML tag names instead
   of the intended formatted example.

#### 1.1.1

 * Added a live status strip below the settings preview that shows whether the bar
   is currently enabled or disabled.
 * Added a “Saves every setting on this page” note below the Save button.
 * Internal: refactored bar data into a dedicated storage layer and modelled the
   bar as a proper object, laying the groundwork for multiple bars and Pro features.

#### 1.1.0

 * Added an optional call-to-action button with its own text, link, colours and “
   open in new tab” option.
 * Added top or bottom positioning and a sticky-or-static behaviour choice.
 * Added an adjustable message font size.
 * Added simple page targeting: all pages, front page only, or all pages except 
   the front page.
 * Redesigned the settings screen with a full-width live preview and a more robust
   two-column layout.
 * Fixed the desktop/mobile “Show on” option, which previously had no effect on 
   the front end.
 * Improved accessibility: the dismiss button is now keyboard-operable.
 * Added the `varsby3u5c49_should_display` filter so add-ons can extend the visibility
   logic.

#### 1.0.3

 * Redesigned the admin settings page: grouped Content, Appearance and Display options
   into cards with a sticky live preview.
 * Added one-click colour presets (Info, Success, Warning, Urgent).
 * Replaced the “Show on” dropdown with an accessible segmented control.
 * Added a live character counter to the message field.
 * Fixed admin toggle styling that was not being loaded on the settings page.
 * Removed the redundant “Show Admin Preview?” option; the preview is always shown.

#### 1.0.2

 * Added default color picker values (#1e73be background, #fff text) on first load.
 * Improved admin preview: centered text, removed preview close button, matched 
   preview text size and weight.
 * Enhanced preview script to apply styles on load and target link color correctly.
 * Fixed front-end positioning to support older WP versions, ensuring the notification
   bar stacks correctly with the admin bar across themes.
 * Fixed invisible close button (× now visible via CSS).
 * Added missing admin preview toggle field to settings page.
 * Added ARIA label to close button for accessibility.
 * Added SameSite=Lax attribute to dismissal cookie.
 * Removed redundant setTimeout in frontend script.
 * Fixed duplicate event bindings in admin preview script.

#### 1.0.1

 * Changed `plugins_loaded` hook for textdomain loading.
 * Added placeholders on input fields.
 * JS console messages now localizable via `wp.i18n`.

#### 1.0.0

 * Initial release of Varsby.
