== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does it work with WooCommerce? =

Yes. It includes an option to hide the bar from cart, checkout and my account pages.

= Does it work with Elementor? =

Yes. The bar renders through `wp_body_open`, which is supported by modern themes. A footer fallback is included for older themes.

= Can I add HTML? =

Yes. Safe HTML is allowed and filtered through WordPress post HTML sanitization.

= Can visitors close the bar? =

Yes. Enable the dismiss option and choose after how many days the bar should appear again.

= Is the plugin lightweight? =

Yes. It only loads a small CSS and JavaScript file on the frontend.
