AnchorBadge — Sticky Floating Badges & Announcements

AnchorBadge — Sticky Floating Badges & Announcements

Keep what matters most always in view.

AnchorBadge is a lightweight WordPress plugin that pins a floating badge or announcement to any corner of your site. It stays visible as visitors scroll — no theme edits, no shortcodes, no code.

Download free from WordPress.org by following the plugin page AnchorBadge — Sticky Floating Badges & Announcements.

Two ways to use it

Image Badge
Upload any image and anchor it to a corner of your site, with an optional link. Ideal for funding logos, certification marks, trust badges, award seals, or seasonal banners.

Announcement
Display a short text message with an optional call-to-action button. Perfect for promotions, notices, or directing visitors to a key page.
