Plugin Overview

WP Popup Plugin lets users customize and promote events, products and offers on a WordPress site. 

This is accomplished through popups called "campaigns" - You can add text, images and more to each and then choose to display them globally or specify one page where each should appear.

Below, an example of a popup:

General Plugin Settings

To configure the plugin settings, navigate to Admin Dashboard → CM Pop-Up Banners → Settings.

The Free version of the plugin has only 1 general setting:

• Custom Post Types - Select custom post types on which you want to display popup campaigns. Showing a specific popup campaign on a custom post type also depends on each campaign settings.

Creating and Managing Popup Campaigns

To manage popup campaigns, navigate to Admin Dashboard → CM Pop-Up Banners → Campaigns.

This page lists all the popup campaigns that have been created with the WP Popup Plugin. You can order them by date or name, filter the results, delete or add new ones.

To create a new campaign, click Add New Campaign on that page or in the plugin menu:

Define the title - this is only important for your organization, as the readers don't have access to it.

Customize the content of the campaign. This is the most important step, this is the content that your readers will see. Note that you can add HTML formatting, images and videos to the content area.

You can also use AdDesigner by clicking the button Show AdDesigner. This feature will help you to customize a style of the popup content with simple controls and fields. Users see how applied changes effect the post content without saving and refreshing page. Learn more about AdDesigner.
