Fast answers to the questions our support team hears most often.

Where do I find my Announcement ID?

  • Open the announcement → go to the Placement tab.

  • Scroll to the Announcement ID section — it's always shown there, regardless of your placement setting.

  • Click the clipboard icon to copy it.

  • Just created the announcement and haven't saved it yet? Save first — the ID only appears after that.

My scroll/rotation speed number doesn't match real seconds — is that normal?

  • Yes. Running Line scroll speed (1–50) is a relative dial, not literal seconds — higher number = slower scrolling.

  • Rotating announcement "Display duration" (2–20s) is the total time for one full cycle through all your slides, split evenly — not the time each slide shows individually.

Can I place the bar right under my header instead of at the very top?

  • Yes, using Custom position: select it in the Placement tab, then add the "Oxify Announcement Bar" block to your theme (Header or Footer section) exactly where you want it, using the Announcement ID above.

  • The built-in Top/Bottom position options always place the bar at the very edge of the page — Custom position is the only way to put it somewhere specific, like just below your header.

My bar overlaps or covers another element (cart drawer, popup, chat widget) — what do I do?

  • The app automatically adjusts spacing for your theme's own sticky header — but it doesn't know about third-party elements like cart drawers, chat widgets, or cookie banners.

  • Try raising or lowering your bar's Z-Index (Content tab → Show Advanced Settings) so it sits above or below the conflicting element as needed.

  • If that doesn't fully resolve it, contact support — some theme layouts need a small custom CSS adjustment.

Can I control the height of a sticky bar?

  • Not directly — height is determined by your content and spacing settings (font size, padding), not a dedicated height field.

  • To make it taller or shorter, adjust font size, or the inside/outside spacing options in the Design tab.
