## Description

Display a notice when working on a localhost site on staging environment, based 
on your settings and adjustments

Activate the plugin and see a yellow notice bar indicating that you’re working on
localhost.

Super helpful whenever you’re cloning a production website with virtual hosts using
the same domain name, and are not sure which site are you editing. Visible both 
in the admin area, and the frontend to all site visitors.

Still working perfect with current WordPress 5.8.2 Dec. 2021, going into 2022 🙂
Original Post: LOVE it! Easy – so many times I found links going to live website
and I catch myself with “OH s#@%!”. VERY COOL plugin! Love the settings to change
the bar and overlay to another color (my preference is red – really drives home 
the point)!
