Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

Overview

About this plugin

BannerMonster lets you create custom banners and popups for your WordPress site with advanced targeting rules.

Types:

  • Top banner (fixed bar at top)
  • Bottom banner (fixed bar at bottom)
  • Center popup
  • Bottom-right popup
  • Bottom-left popup

Display rules:

  • All pages
  • All posts
  • All custom post types
  • Specific pages, posts or CPTs
  • Specific URLs (partial match, case-insensitive, trailing-slash tolerant)
  • Taxonomies (categories, tags, custom taxonomies)

Triggers:

  • Immediate
  • After X seconds
  • Exit intent (mouse leaves viewport)
  • At X% page scroll

Reappearance control:

  • Set how many minutes after closing a banner should reappear
  • 0 = never reappear after closing
  • Close state stored in browser localStorage, persists across sessions

Customization:

  • Background, text and border colors with color pickers
  • Padding, font size, border width
  • Width (%) and max-width (px) for popups
  • Custom CSS classes per banner
  • Close button with configurable persistence
  • Overlay for popups with optional close-on-click

2):

  • Native HTML <dialog> element for popups — focus trap, Escape key, backdrop managed by the browser
  • role="dialog" and aria-modal="true" applied automatically
  • aria-label on each dialog using the banner title
  • Keyboard-only navigation: Escape to close, Tab cycling trapped inside popup
  • Backdrop click closes popup (configurable)

-:focus-visible styling for keyboard users

  • Screen reader compatible (VoiceOver, NVDA, JAWS)

Debug mode:

  • Append?bannermonster_debug=1 to any URL to bypass localStorage persistence
  • Banner appears on every page load regardless of close state

Zero dependencies on the frontend. jQuery is only used in the admin area.

Performance:

  • Frontend assets loaded only when active banners exist on the page
  • Vanilla JavaScript, no frameworks
  • WordPress object cache for database queries
  • Admin assets loaded only on BannerMonster screens
