FAQ
-
My WordPress site has a sticky header that uses position fixed causing it to cover the WP Alert Bar, how can I fix this?
-
WP Alert Bar comes with a filter that allows you to define your sites fixed header so that it can account for the alert bar. Simply navigate to the functions.php file in your child theme and paste in the following code snippet, making sure to replace .site-header with the class or ID of your sites fixed position header.
// Define fixed header for WP Alert Bar add_filter( 'mbwpab_fixed_header_selector', 'mbwpab_define_fixed_header' ); function mbwpab_define_fixed_header( $header ) { $header = '.site-header'; return $header; }
