What Is Divi Bars?
Divi Bars is developed by Divi Life and is an extension plugin for WordPress. It functions as a custom post type provider, letting users manage unlimited notification bars from a centralized dashboard. It belongs to the extensions category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for WordPress site owners.
The plugin solves the problem of generic, unstyled notification bars that clash with custom designs. It is built specifically for designers who want to maintain brand consistency while using advanced triggers like exit intent or scroll depth.
Divi Bars Features
The core feature set is built around the integration of the Divi Builder into a bar-style layout.
Advanced Behavioral Triggers
Divi Bars offers precise control over when a notification appears to a visitor. You can trigger the bar on immediate page load, after a specific time delay, or when a user reaches a certain scroll percentage. The inclusion of exit-intent technology allows you to capture attention exactly before a visitor leaves the site, which is ideal for ecommerce discount offers.
Native Email Marketing Integration
Because the plugin utilizes the built-in Divi optin module, it supports automatic integration with 20 leading email platforms. Supported providers include Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, ConvertKit, Hubspot, and GetResponse. This makes the plugin an effective alternative to dedicated lead generation tools while keeping all data within your own WordPress installation.
Customization and Display Logic
Users can select between top or bottom placement and choose whether the bar is fixed to the screen or moves with the content. The plugin also provides granular control over close buttons, allowing you to hide the default button, customize its appearance, or create a completely custom toggle within the bar. Cookie expiration settings allow you to define exactly how many days must pass before a visitor sees the bar again.
Pricing
Retail pricing for Divi Bars ranges from $34 for a single site to $129 for a lifetime license. WPExclusive members access it as part of their membership plan, which includes unlimited usage across multiple projects.

Use Cases
Promoting Seasonal Sales and Offers
Online stores use the plugin to highlight time-sensitive discounts. By combining the bar with a ecommerce countdown timer module, you can create urgency for Black Friday or holiday promotions.
Building Email Lists Without Popups
If you prefer a less intrusive way to collect emails, Divi Bars provides a persistent optin located at the top or bottom of the screen. This allows you to grow your subscriber list while maintaining a clean user experience.
Important Site Notices and Alerts
Libraries and educational institutions use the plugin to communicate service hours or urgent updates across all pages efficiently. It allows for quick messaging changes without editing individual page layouts.
Agencies and Developers Managing Multiple Client Sites
Professional builders can deploy custom notification systems for all clients without external subscription costs. A WPExclusive membership makes this cost-effective for portfolio-wide management.
