Description
User Notifications lets you seamlessly inform WordPress & WooCommerce users about updates, sales, and more via the site navigation menu. You can add a notification menu easily by using the [notifications_dogbytemarketing] shortcode to inject a notification bell into your menu. The bell displays a badge when new notifications are available, ensuring users never miss an update. If you use something other than BootStrap icons, you can do [notifications_dogbytemarketing class=”your-icon-class”] to use your own icons. You can also use the “class_container” attribute to add additional classes to the notification-container element.
This plugin is ideal for websites and WooCommerce stores looking to improve user engagement and streamline notification delivery.
