MieBadge

MieBadge creates an impossible-to-miss staging site indicator that stays visible on every page of your WordPress site. Inspired by the dramatic mie poses in Kabuki theater that command the audience’s attention, this badge ensures no one accidentally makes changes on a staging environment.

Features

• Flexible Visibility: Display on frontend, backend, or both — control each separately
• Five Ready-Made Badges: Choose from MieBadge (Kabuki icon), Staging, Mockup, Satire, or Parody designs
• Draggable: Click and drag to reposition anywhere on screen; position saved per-user in browser storage
• Physics Mode: Optional momentum and bounce when dragging, with adjustable slide intensity (1–10)
• Three Graphic Modes: Default logo (5 options), custom uploaded image, or custom text with your own colors
• Clickable Badge: Optionally turn the badge into a link, with new-tab support
• Explainer Card: Hover tooltip with a custom message and configurable delay, frontend only
• Kabuki Design: Red and white Kumadori-inspired default pattern

Perfect For

• Staging/development/mockup sites
• Client review environments
• Multisite networks where staging is needed
• Any WordPress install that needs clear environment identification
• Satire, parody, or spoof sites that need clear labeling

One Job: Be Seen

MieBadge makes sure you never confuse a staging or mockup site for the live one. Every feature — graphic modes, links, the explainer card — is in service of that one job.
