The plugin repeatedly checks for new notifications for the loggedin user and if any new notification is found, it does 2 things:
- Updates the browser window title( e.g: 'members|mydomain.com' becomes '(2) members|mydomain.com' ) and blinks/switches repeatedly between the old and new title
-
Updates the notification menu:
-
adds new notification(if any) items to the list
-
updates the existing ones(if any). E.g: from 'You have 1 new message' to 'You have 2 new messages'
Note: The second (updating notification menu) has been developed according to the markup of default buddybar/wp-admin bar, so if your theme doesn't have one, or have a custom notification list, it wont work.
Extract the zip file and just drop the contents in the wp-content/plugins/ directory of your WordPress installation and then activate the Plugin from Plugins page.
