This guide will walk you through enabling or disabling both pre-created default notifications and user-created ones in WooNotif, providing flexibility and control over your website’s notifications.
Accessing the Notifications List
- Go to your WordPress dashboard:
WordPress Dashboard > WooNotif > Notifs - In the Notifications List, you’ll see all notifications displayed in a table. Each notification has a Status column with a toggle switch to manage its activation state.
Method 1: Using the Toggle Switch
- To Enable a Notification:
Flip the toggle in the Status column to the purple position.- A purple toggle indicates the notification is active.
- To Disable a Notification:
Flip the toggle to the gray position.- A gray toggle indicates the notification is inactive.
This is the quickest way to manage your notifications.
Method 2: Using Bulk Actions
- In the Notifications List, select the checkboxes next to the notifications you want to enable or disable.
- At the top of the list, click the Bulk Actions dropdown.
- Choose either Activate or Deactivate from the dropdown.
- Click the Apply button to execute the action.
This method is ideal for managing multiple notifications simultaneously.
Method 3: From Notification Settings
- In the Notifications List, click the Edit Settings button next to the notification you want to manage.
- In the settings menu, go to the General section.
- The first option, Notif Status, allows you to toggle the notification’s status (active or inactive).
Behavior After Activation
- Immediate Display:
Activated notifications are displayed on your website immediately. - Pro Notification Behavior:
If you activate a Pro-only notification (marked with Need Pro 🌟) while using the Lite version, it will not display on your site. Pro notifications include advanced features exclusive to Pro users.
Default Status of Pre-Created Notifications
- All default notifications are disabled by default.
- This ensures users only activate notifications they intend to use.
Randomized Display for Multiple Notifications
If multiple notifications are active simultaneously, WooNotif displays them in a randomized order to enhance variety and engagement. For example:
- Active Notifications:
- 3 Real Sales Notifications
- 2 Fake Sales Notifications
- 3 Low Stock Alert Notifications
- Random Display:
- A stock alert
- A fake sale
- A real sale
- Another stock alert
- Another real sale
This randomness keeps your visitors engaged and prevents repetitive displays.
Important Recommendations for Activation
- Review Settings Before Activation:
Customize colors, texts, and other details to match your branding. - Localize Fake Sales Notifications:
Update default names, surnames, and cities to reflect your region or audience. - Check Notification Relevance:
Ensure the notifications align with your current marketing campaigns or goals.
By providing flexible activation options, WooNotif ensures that you can tailor your notifications to your specific needs and audience.
