Help create a ribbon at the top of the page using Hustle

I like to have a red ribbon at the top of the site to show notification for example on ****.macbay.*** where a red-ribbon appears on the top!

Hustle Slide In can set to show this at the top but I like it to not hide the header. So that header will be move a bit down until the banner will be closed?

Also is there any way to convert popups into slide-ins.

I really don’t understand the descriptions of the different display options, difference between popups, custom, embeds, slide-ins etc.

    Hi sascha

    I hope you’re well today and thank you for your question!

    Let me start from the end :slight_smile:

    I really don’t understand the descriptions of the different display options, difference between popups, custom, embeds, slide-ins etc.

    There are three main “tools” that Hustle provides: popups, slide-ins and embeds. I suppose popups are pretty self-explanatory so let’s get to two others:

    “slide-in” – it’s pretty much same as popup but it shows up in a different way, it just “slides in” into the page and sticks to one of the cornes or edges of the site.

    “embed” – that’s different – it’s like a widget that you can place on site automatically or using shortcode; it doesn’t “pop up” or “slide in”; you can e.g. add a subscription form that will show up below each post for example.

    “Custom” that you mentioned – that’d be a different thing and there’s no such “type” in Hustle. There are some “custom” settings though like e.g. custom css which basically means that you can add your own CSS rules there that are not included in the plugin out of the box.

    Also is there any way to convert popups into slide-ins.

    No, not yet. Upcoming Hustle release is expected to allow export/import from poup-ups to slide-ins and back though so while it won’t be direct conversion it will lat you achieve that. Currently though it’s not possible yet.

    Slide-in can be set to be shown at the top edge but “moving header” would be a bit more difficult in this case, I’m afraid. The Slide-in element – if it comes to page source – is “outside” the page content, it’s not “streamlined” so with custom css we tweak it a but in most cases it won’t be exactly the way you would really want that.

    I think it’d be better to actually create an “embed” in hustle that would look like you want it to and then include it’s shortcode in header or via “do_shortcode()” WP function in header template file.

    That would give better results if it comes to what you want to achieve. Embed doesn’t have a “close” button but that should be relatively easy to add to it.

    Best regards,
