Every feature. Most announcement bar plugins keep the countdown, the e-mail signup, the statistics or the A/B tests for a paid Pro version. Runline does not have one: * **No Pro version**, no trial, no license key, no “upgrade” buttons, no ads in your dashboard. * **Every feature on this page is in the free plugin** — countdown, signup, recent sales, click stats, A/B tests, display rules, schedule, all 60+ designs. * **Unlimited bars**, unlimited messages, on unlimited sites. * No account with us, nothing sent to our servers. Pick one of 60+ ready designs — Black Friday, free shipping, Christmas, newsletter, reviews, breaking news, tilted landing-page ribbons and more — or start from scratch. Type your messages, pick colours and watch the live preview change with every key you press — on a computer or phone screen, on a light or dark page. Save without reloading, and the bar is on your site. #### Light and fast * Pure CSS animation, no jQuery. Pages without a bar load no Runline files at all. * The bar reserves its height at once, so the page does not jump (no layout shift). * Smooth endless loop without gaps, on any screen width. * Speed in pixels per second: short and long texts move at the same, readable pace. #### Countdown timer Count down to the end of a sale or the start of an event: “Ends in 2d 14:05:33”. The timer can stand still on the left or the right while the text moves, or sit right inside a message with `{countdown}`. When the time is over, the bar hides itself or shows your text. #### More than text * **Button** on the right (“Shop now”) and a **coupon code with a Copy button**. * **Images and logos** in messages — make a scrolling **logo strip** of your clients or partners. * **Review cards**: a photo, the review and the name (“Anna, Kraków”). * **Modes**: endless scrolling, one by one (fade, slide up, typewriter), vertical ticker, or still. * **Automatic messages** from your latest posts, your WooCommerce products (newest, on sale, featured, best selling, or exactly the products you pick — with prices and your own text like “🔥 {product} — only {price}”) or any RSS feed. Your own messages can run between them. * **Variables** in texts: {date}, {site_name}, {coupon}, {countdown}, {free_shipping_left}. * **WPML and Polylang**: the texts of the bars are translated with your multilingual plugin. #### Grow your list, prove your sales * **E-mail signup right in the bar**: a field and a Subscribe button. Addresses are kept on your site (Runline Subscribers, CSV export) and can also go to ** Mailchimp, MailerLite or Brevo**. Optional consent check box, spam protection, and the bar can hide itself for visitors who subscribed. * **Recent sales** (WooCommerce): “A. bought Red balloons 5 minutes ago” — real orders as social proof. By default only the first letter of the name and no city; you choose what to show. * **Click statistics**: views, clicks and click rate per day for every bar, with charts. No cookies, no IP addresses, nothing about the visitor. * **A/B test**: show a second set of messages to part of the visitors and see which one gets more clicks. #### Make it look your way * Gradients, borders, shadows, rounded corners. * **Tilted and crossed ribbons** like on landing pages. * 20 **Google Fonts** that are saved on your own site (nothing is loaded from Google when visitors view the page), or the font of your theme. * An extra CSS class for developers; every bar has its own ID (e.g. `#runline-12`) for your styles in Additional CSS. #### For WooCommerce shops (optional) Runline works on any WordPress site. When WooCommerce is active, you also get: * **Free shipping progress**: “Add 37,00 zł more for free shipping” with a progress line, from the visitor’s cart, updated when products are added. * **Countdown to the end of a product sale** — taken from the product itself, nothing to type twice. * Products as messages, and display rules for the shop, product pages, cart, checkout and cart total. #### Show it exactly where you want * **Any number of bars** at the same time, each with its own place and priority— two at the top stand one under another, or let only the most important one show. * **Display rules**: “Show on…” and “Do not show on…” — home page, chosen pages, posts and products, post types, categories and tags, search, 404, addresses containing a text; WooCommerce shop, product pages, cart, checkout, my account, cart total; logged-in visitors, guests, user roles, site language (WPML, Polylang); visitors who came with a UTM tag or from a certain site; country of the visitor (with Cloudflare or a hosting that tells the country). * **Schedule**: from / until a date and time, days of the week, hours of the day— in the time zone of your site. * **Any container**: top of the site, bottom of the screen, or any place with the block, the Elementor widget or the shortcode — a column, a sidebar, a small box. The bar takes the width of that place; “limited width”, alignment and rounded corners for more. * Works with page caching: rules about the visitor and the time are checked in the browser. #### Features * 60+ free ready designs in eight groups: shop, marketing, coupons & signups, reviews& trust, holidays, news, landing pages, minimal and more — all with readable colours( WCAG AA contrast) * “Change design” takes the look of another design and keeps your texts * Top of the site, bottom of the screen, or anywhere with the Runline block (Gutenberg), the Runline Elementor widget or the `[runline]` shortcode * Up to 50 messages per bar, each with an emoji (quick picker) and an optional link (same or new tab); drag to reorder * Separator of your choice between messages: • ★ | / or anything else * Fixed label on the left, e.g. “NEW” or “SALE” * Colours of the background, text, links and label; font, size, weight, capital letters * Bar height and space between messages * Direction, separate speed for phones, pause when the mouse is over the bar, tap to pause on phones * Keep at the top while scrolling * Close button: a closed bar stays hidden for that visitor for the number of days you choose, or until you change its texts * On computers, tablets and phones separately * Works with page caching (WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache): devices are handled in CSS * Accessible: respects “reduce motion” (one message at a time instead of moving text), stops on keyboard focus, copies of the text are hidden from screen readers * Modern editor built with the WordPress design system: settings in four tabs, live preview, save with Ctrl+S * Switch bars on and off, duplicate and delete them right in the list * Export all bars to a file and import them on another site * Translated into Czech, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish and Ukrainian; ready for more * Choose the language of Runline by hand (Runline Settings), independent of the language of WordPress #### More from Creonix * [Dayslot](https://creonix.pl/dayslot) — customers choose the delivery or pickup date and time (or the date of an event) right in the WooCommerce checkout. ### Source code / Build Runline ships its readable sources. The admin app and the block are written in modern JavaScript (React) in `src/` and built into `build/` with the official WordPress tools ([@wordpress/scripts](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@wordpress/scripts)): 1. `cd wp-content/plugins/runline` 2. `npm install` 3. `npm run build` (or `npm run start` while you change the code) The scripts and styles of the bar on the site (`assets/js/*.js`, `assets/css/runline. css`) are plain files; the `.min` versions next to them are minified copies of the same code. ### External services Runline works without any external service. Two optional features connect to one: * **E-mail services** — only when you choose Mailchimp, MailerLite or Brevo in the signup form of a bar and add its API key in Runline Settings. When a visitor subscribes, their e-mail address is sent from your server to that service to add them to your list. Mailchimp: [terms](https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/), [privacy](https://www.intuit.com/privacy/statement/). MailerLite: [terms](https://www.mailerlite.com/legal/terms-of-service), [privacy](https://www.mailerlite.com/legal/privacy-policy). Brevo: [terms](https://www.brevo.com/legal/termsofuse/), [privacy](https://www.brevo.com/legal/privacypolicy/). * **Google Fonts** — only when you choose a Google font for a bar. Your server downloads the font once from fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com and keeps it in your uploads folder; visitors get it from your site, so no visitor data goes to Google.

All features — countdown, e-mail signup, Mailchimp / MailerLite / Brevo, recent sales, click statistics, A/ B tests, display rules, schedule and all 60+ designs — are in the plugin you download from WordPress.org. No license key, no limits on bars or sites, no upgrade notices. ### Why is it free? Runline is made by Creonix, a small studio that builds WordPress and WooCommerce plugins. We use it on our own shops and share it as it is. If it helps you, a short review on WordPress.org is the best way to say thank you. ### The bar does not show at the top of my theme Runline puts the bar right after the opening `` tag. Themes that do not support that get the bar moved to the top with a line of JavaScript. If your theme has its own sticky header, use the shortcode inside the header (for example in Elementor) instead. ### How do I put the bar into a page? Set Display Where to “Only where I put the shortcode”. Then add the “Runline bar” block in the block editor, the “Runline bar” widget in Elementor, or paste `[runline id="123"]` anywhere else (the ID is shown in the list of bars). ### Can I show several bars? Yes, as many as you like. Bars in the same place stand one under another, in the order of their priority. In Runline Settings you can choose to show only the most important one per place. ### Can I put a bar into a narrow column or a small box? Yes. With the block, the Elementor widget or the shortcode the bar takes the width of the place you put it in. The shortcode also takes options for one place: `[runline id="123" width="320" radius="8" size="13"]`. ### Do I need WooCommerce? No. Runline is for any WordPress site. The shop features (free shipping progress, products, sale countdown) appear only when WooCommerce is active. ### The bar is under the fixed header of my theme Switch on Runline Settings “Move a fixed (sticky) header of the theme below the top bars”, or put the bar into the header with the block or the Elementor widget. ### Does it work with page caching? Yes. Rules about pages are decided by the page; rules about the visitor (UTM tag, referrer, cart total) and the schedule are checked in the browser before the page is shown. ### Do the statistics use cookies or personal data? No. Runline only adds up numbers per bar and per day. The browser sends a small note when a bar is shown and when it is clicked; nothing about the visitor is stored. You can switch the statistics off in Runline Settings. ### Where do the e-mail addresses go? Into a table on your own site (Runline Subscribers), with a CSV export. If you choose Mailchimp, MailerLite or Brevo for a bar, the address is also sent to that service. Runline adds the subscribers to the WordPress tools for exporting and erasing personal data. ### My site is behind Cloudflare or another proxy. Does the signup form still work? Yes. Against spam the form allows 5 tries per e-mail address and 30 tries per IP address in 10 minutes. Runline does not trust forwarded IP headers, because they can be faked. If you know your proxy, you can pass the real visitor IP with the ` runline_client_ip` filter. ### Will it slow down my site? No. The bar is a few kilobytes of CSS and JavaScript, loaded only on pages that show a bar. ## Beoordelingen Er zijn geen beoordelingen voor deze plugin. ## Bijdragers & ontwikkelaars “Runline – Marquee, News Ticker & Announcement Bar” is open source software.
