Good Evening,

I followed this article

https://appstore.mageworx.com/blog/no-app-required-boost-sales-by-adding-announcement-countdown-time...

 

And I got the Announcement Bar to show up in my customized edit website section but for some reason it does not show the bar at the top of the page. I can't figure out what I did wrong. If anyone could please help me out? Thank you!

Hello , @myangelsn 

I think you didn't check the checkbox Enable announcement bar. on theme customization side.

So Please check that checkbox if not checked.

Hello! I did go back into customizer and I did have enabled checked and nothing still showed up. So I turned it back off since its not working.
