  • Custom Selector Click – you can insert a custom selector from the widget, which will be a trigger for displaying the pop-up. The first one is the Class selector. To get it, proceed to the front end, push the F12 keyboard button, and copy the selector inside the used widget. When pasting it into the Custom Selector bar, put a dot before it. The second is a CSS ID. It is also copied from the code you see after clicking F12. When pasting this type of selector into the Custom Selector bar, put a hash symbol before it.
prevent page scrolling if a popup is open
  • Disable Page Scrolling. If enabled, users won’t be able to scroll the page after the pop-up appears;
  • Show Once. If enabled, the pop-up will be shown only once, but you can also set the timeout caching in the Repeat showing popup in field so that the pop-up will be displayed again;
loading popup content with ajax
  • Loading content with Ajax. The pop-up context loads using the AJAX method;
  • Force loading. The pop-up content loads every time it is opened;
  • Use close button. If enabled, it adds the button to the pop-up by clicking on which users can close the pop-up;
  • SVG icon. Here, you can Select Icon for the close button;
  • Use overlay. If enabled, cover the screen beyond the pop-up by darkening the background;
  • Close on overlay click. If enabled, the user can close the pop-up by clicking on the overlay;
  • Display Conditions. If you push the “Edit Conditions” button, you will proceed to JetPopups > All Popup with the Set the popup visibility conditions pop-up window. You can specify the pages where you want to show the pop-up and where it shouldn’t be displayed using the “Include” and “Exclude” options.
