On/off switch to pause a Blip without deleting it — prioritized over scheduling, regardless of date range
Independent background, message, action prompt, and divider color assignment
Optional background gradient and angle
Optional border color (when bar border is on)
Independent message and action prompt text

Pro Features

Bar Effects

Elevation shadow
Background opacity and blur for a glassy look

Scheduling

Optional start/end date range per Blip
End date optional for an open-ended Blip
A “starts in…” / “ended… ago” indicator on the card reflects unsaved edits immediately, not just what’s currently published

Analytics

Per-Blip impression and click counts, shown right on each Blip’s card, with a one-click reset — approximate by design (a visitor with JS disabled or an ad blocker isn’t counted), not a full analytics suite
Also pushes blip_impression and blip_click events to window.dataLayer, so any site already running Google Tag Manager or GA4 picks them up with no extra configuration

Import / ExportPro

Export Bar Settings and all Blips to a JSON file
Import replaces the current configuration

Additional mobile responsive controlPro

Admin

Admin follows WordPress’s own native design system; standard form controls, the site’s admin color scheme, and dashicons — so it looks and behaves like part of wp-admin (sometimes a little nicer) and not a bolted-on interface.

Every setting above lives on one screen, with a live preview that updates global settings as you edit, no publish required.

Installation

Upload the plugin .zip from WordPress admin.
Activate BlipBlurb.
Go to the BlipBlurb menu item to configure the bar and + Blips.
