Easily add a widget area above your WordPress website header if it’s not included in your current theme (it also works if you already do and want to add an extra section). With Above Header Bar, you can add up to three widgets inline above your header to display:

  • Social links
  • Email signup form
  • Navigation links
  • Shop cart
  • and more

Fully responsive and comes with a custom options page so you can change the background color, text color and links colors easily. By default, if your theme header is sticky the Above Header Bar will also automatically be sticky.

You’ll be able to add and display up to three widget areas inside the Above Header Bar from any of the widget types available inside your site.

Adding an email sign-up form is as simple as adding a custom HTML widget, and pasting in your cleaned up, raw form code from Mailchimp, ConvertKit or any other email provider so long as you have the email embed code. See the documentation tab for further information on how to get the embed codes.

This plugin works with any theme with a <header> section, which 99% of WordPress websites have. To check that yours does have a <header> section, inspect your website page on Chrome and look for: <header> inside the <body> section, like this:

ps. if it’s there, the new section will appear above the highlighted section named <header>

Sold at a one-time cost of just $5 with access to any updates from your account – essentially you’re buying me a cup of coffee 😉

Forever sound good? Once you’ve registered you’ll have access for as long as you retain your account on this website and the website is live. I don’t plan on going anywhere so you have all the time you need.

What support do you offer after purchase?

You’ll be able to ask for help if you get stuck, and I do all I can to make it so it doesn’t get to that, to begin with. I work hard to create items, courses and templates that are easy to use and to provide everything you need.

If I change my mind – can I get a refund?
