FAQ
-
Can I only show this on certain pages?
-
Currently, this is only available with a filter
wpm_ea_status(set to"on"for on and"off"for off). -
It’s trying to auto-adjust heights, can I turn this off?
-
Yes simply toggle the Enable Javascript Position Adjustments to OFF.
-
I installed the plugin, but it looks awful! What do I do?
-
You may need to add custom CSS. Usually the Lightbox, Top – Fixed, and Bottom – Fixed options work well regardless of site design, but are more obtrusive.
Top/Bottom Alert Positions will be more tricky with more complex header/footer areas. If you run out of support options, you may always work with our support team by signing up for further support at https://wpmaintainer.com
-
Is this responsive?
-
Yes, our default output is responsive but every site is different. You may require some custom CSS to make things look 100% perfect!
