== Frequently Asked Questions ==
Can I Move The Bar To Another Location?
Yes.
As of version 0.0.2 there is no option to do this, but there are filters. You can use the filter 'jptb_where_bar' to specify which action the bar is outputted on and you can use the 'jptb_bar_position' to set custom CSS for the positioning, which by default pegs the bar to the bottom of the page.
