Quick Start

Learn how to utilize the plugin.

1. Create a campaign by heading to Admin Dashboard → CM Pop-Up Banners for WordPress → Add New Campaign. 

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

   

3. 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.
