常见问题:
How do I set up a Black Friday sale banner?
Go to Seasonal Effects → Notice Bar, click the Templates tab, and select the Black Friday template. You can then customize the text and countdown timer in the Settings tab.
How do I add a countdown timer to a page or post?
In the block editor, add the Countdown Timer block and pick the end date. Everywhere else (classic editor, widgets, Elementor and other page builders), use the shortcode:
[seasonal_effects_countdown end="2026-11-27 23:59" style="rounded" title="Sale ends in"]
Options: end (in your site timezone), style (simple, rounded, square, filled, circle), size (small, medium, large), labels (long, short), align (left, center, right), bg_color, text_color, show_seconds (yes, no), title, expired_text (leave empty to hide the timer when it ends). The Seasonal Effects dashboard has a copy-ready example.
Can I schedule my Cyber Monday sale in advance?
Yes! In the Notice Bar settings under the Schedule tab, you can set a Start Date and End Date. The banner will automatically appear and disappear at your specified times.
Will this slow down my website?
No. The animations are CSS-driven and GPU-accelerated, and the plugin's files only load when at least one effect is enabled.
Can I use this with any theme?
Yes! Seasonal Effects works with any WordPress theme.
Can I customize the animations?
Absolutely! Control count, speed, and display locations for each effect.
Is this compatible with WooCommerce?
Yes! Works perfectly with WooCommerce and other popular plugins.
Can I disable effects on mobile?
Yes! There's a mobile device toggle in the General tab.
Will my existing settings be preserved when updating?
Yes! The plugin is 100% backward compatible. All settings are automatically migrated.
