I've got a div that disappears using jquery+css. It works beautifully, but I am running into a problem. How do I get that div to not reload the next time a user opens a page on same wordpress site. Because the div exists in header.php, everytime a new page is called so is the div, even if the user dismissed it before.
Is there a way to make sure that the banner is only loaded once per visit using the existing infrastructure I've got going? I feel like there must be some way to do this, especially since wordpress is run on php, but I am a bit out of my depth.
This is the website that I'm currently editing, and here is the code related to the banner.
HTML:
<div id="greenbanner">
<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/Devices.png" id="devices">
<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/bigx.png" id="bigx">
<div id="bannertext">Spundge lets you discover, <br />curate, and create better content. <br /><br />
<div id="jointhedarkside"><a style="color:#ffffff;" href="https://www.spundge.com/account/signup/">Get Started - It's Free</a></div>
</div>
</div>
JQUERY:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#headershadow").hide();
$("#bigx").click(function(){
$("#greenbanner").hide(1000);
$("#headershadow").show();
});
});
CSS:

You'd set a cookie, and probably not even render the box in your PHP if it was found.
You can use the cookie feature in a javascript for this purpose . Store a value representing div status . Check every time when the page loads .
