After purchasing Hello Bar Solo, I found that there is hardly any documentation showing how to enable it on a WordPress blog. I have put together a nice YouTube tutorial that goes over every aspect of installing Hello Bar on a WordPress site. The video is embedded below.
You will need the following code for this tutorial:
function hellobar_scripts() {
wp_register_script( 'hellobar_solo_js', 'http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-content/themes/yourtheme/hellobar-solo/hellobar.js');
wp_enqueue_script( 'hellobar_solo_js' );
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'hellobar_scripts');
function hellobar_styles() {
wp_register_style('hellobar_css', 'http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-content/themes/yourtheme/hellobar-solo//hellobar.css');
wp_enqueue_style( 'hellobar_css');
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'hellobar_styles');
<script type="text/javascript">
new HelloBar( "Giveaway: Free Web Hosting Accounts From Zyma Technologies<a class='button' href='https://www.omegaweb.com/2012/10/giveaway-free-zyma-technologies-web-hosting-for-one-year/'>Enter To Win!</a>", {
showWait: 6000,
positioning: 'sticky',
barColor: '#bc0c0c',
borderSize: 0,
helloBarLogo: false,
transition: 'bouncy',
speed: 750,
}, 1.0 );
</script>
As days go by, I got more curious about the Hello Bar! Now, I can put it up on my website because of this article. thanks!
You’re welcome! I’m glad it helped.
I’ve long waited for a tutorial about this Hello Bar Solo! Thanks for the how-to guide. Very helpful!
You’re welcome! I checked out your Elite Cruise website… It looks nice!
I’ve always wondered how I could get this done without messing up my html codes 🙂 Thanks for this informative guide, I regularly come up with promotions that I want to give emphasis on so this should do the job.
I’m glad this helped. Also, Hello Bar does not use HTML, it uses JavaScript, so installing it as a WordPress widget would not work well. The way I described in the video is the only way 🙂
I just purchased the Hello Bar and it was absolutely doing my head in. Your video and codes above worked a treat.
Thanks for posting Ian!
I’m glad it helped. Was the video too fast-paced? I was trying to get everything in that I needed in under 15 minutes. The ending result is a somewhat fast-paced video. Even still, you can always rewind and watch again. Thanks!
Hi Ian,
This is a great information. Thanks for sharing this valuable chunk of information.
You’re welcome. I hope it helped!
I have seen this hello bar on many websites and I do like it but I am not using it at the moment. At some time point, I will use it since it seems like a great tool to attract the visitors to a particular page or post. Thanks for these instructions.
Hello Bar is great for gaining subscribers, generating links, and even affiliate sales. I recommend it 100% but at $30, it is a bit expensive. If you want to start with a free option, I used Viper Bar for a while. Not as many features, and it’s harder to edit, but it does the job.
Thanks for the post, ive been looking at this plugin for a while now and will eventually get round to installing it.
Thanks! Was my video effective for you?
It seems something good.
Thanks Ian for this wonderful showing.I was not aware about that and soon i will give this a try.
Thanks for the corporation by this showing.
Good luck! Do you have Hello Bar?
No Ian,
I am not using that form this time.It looks like something good to attract the visitors and make a good impression.
I will think about to give a try to this.
Thanks for the interest…
Hello Bar is great! Like I mentioned to Shalu above, Viper Bar is a good free alternative.
