Breaking news alert pop up wordpress

To create a breaking news alert pop-up in WordPress, you'll need to use a combination of plugins and custom code. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this:

Plugin Requirements:

WPBakeryPageBuilder (or any other page builder plugin): This plugin will help you create a custom page template for your breaking news alert.
WP Notification Bar (or any other notification bar plugin): This plugin will help you create a notification bar that can be triggered by a custom event.

Step 1: Create a Custom Page Template

Install and activate WPBakeryPageBuilder (or your preferred page builder plugin).
Create a new page template by going to WPBakeryPageBuilder > Page Templates > Add New.
Name your template (e.g., "Breaking News Alert").
Design your template with a simple layout, including a heading, text, and a call-to-action (CTA) button.

Step 2: Create a Notification Bar

Install and activate WP Notification Bar (or your preferred notification bar plugin).
Go to WP Notification Bar > Settings > General and configure the plugin as desired.
Create a new notification bar by going to WP Notification Bar > Notifications > Add New.
Name your notification bar (e.g., "Breaking News Alert").
Set the trigger event to "Custom" and enter the following code in the "Custom Trigger" field:
```
<?php if (have_posts()) :?>
 // Your custom logic here (e.g., check for new posts, etc.)
<?php endif;?>
```
This code will trigger the notification bar when new posts are published.

Step 3: Integrate the Notification Bar with the Custom Page Template

Go back to your custom page template (created in Step 1) and add a new element (e.g., a text element).
In the element settings, add the following code:
```
<?php wp_notification_bar('breaking-news-alert');?>
```
This code will display the notification bar when the page is loaded.

Step 4: Customize the Notification Bar

Go to WP Notification Bar > Notifications > breaking-news-alert and customize the notification bar as desired (e.g., set the duration, animation, and content).

Step 5: Test and Deploy

Test your breaking news alert pop-up by publishing a new post and verifying that the notification bar appears.
Once you're satisfied with the result, deploy your custom page template and notification bar to your live WordPress site.

Here's an example of what your custom page template might look like:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Breaking News Alert
*/

get_header();

// Your custom logic here (e.g., check for new posts, etc.)
if (have_posts()) {
    // Display the notification bar
    wp_notification_bar('breaking-news-alert');
}

get_footer();

And here's an example of what your notification bar might look like:

[breaking-news-alert]
  <h2>Breaking News Alert!</h2>
  <p>New posts have been published. Check them out!</p>
  <button>View Latest Posts</button>
[/breaking-news-alert]

Remember to customize the code and design to fit your specific needs.
