== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Can I only show this on certain pages? =

Currently, this is only available with a filter `wpm_ea_status` (set to `"on"` for on and `"off"` for off).

Yes simply toggle the **Enable Javascript Position Adjustments** to OFF.

= It's trying to auto-adjust heights, can I turn this off? =

Yes simply toggle the **Enable Javascript Position Adjustments** to OFF.

= I installed the plugin, but it looks awful! What do I do? =

You may need to add custom CSS. Usually the Lightbox, Top – Fixed, and Bottom – Fixed options work well regardless of site design, but are more obtrusive.

Top/Bottom Alert Positions will be more tricky with more complex header/footer areas. If you run out of support options, you may always work with our support team by signing up for further support at https://wpmaintainer.com

= Is this responsive? =

Yes, our default output is responsive but every site is different. You may require some custom CSS to make things look 100% perfect!
