FAQ

The popup does not appear on my website. How can I fix this?

If your popup is not showing, it is often related to caching issues. To resolve this:

  1. Clear your browser cache — Press Ctrl + Shift + R (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + R (Mac) to reload without cache.
  2. Clear your WordPress cache — If you are using caching plugins (like WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache), clear the cache from plugin settings.
  3. Purge server-side cache — If your hosting provider uses additional caching (e.g., Cloudflare, SiteGround, Nginx cache), purge the cache from your hosting panel.
  4. Disable caching temporarily — If the popup still does not appear, temporarily disable your caching plugin and test again.

The popup is visible only to administrators, not regular visitors. Why?

Check if “Test Mode” is enabled. When Test Mode is active, popups are visible only to administrators for testing purposes and hidden from public users.

Can I change the position of the popup?

Yes! You can easily choose between 9 placement options to position your popup exactly where you want it to appear on the screen.

Can I display popups only on specific pages or posts?

Yes! Popup Box allows you to:
– Show popups sitewide (on all pages).
– Assign popups to specific pages, posts, or custom post types via the popup settings.

In the Pro version, you can also create advanced display rules based on post types, categories, tags, user roles, referrer URLs, and more.

Can I use multiple popups at the same time?

Absolutely! You can create and display multiple popups across your website. Each popup has its own settings and triggers.

How do I use Popup Box on a multisite network?

If you are running a WordPress multisite, activate Popup Box individually on each site where you want to use it. Do not activate it network-wide.

Will Popup Box slow down my website?

No. Popup Box is lightweight and optimized for performance, with no jQuery dependency, ensuring minimal impact on your site’s speed.

Amazing plugin!

This plugin is a great example of how to create very intuitive and effective plugin without numerous unnecessary options. Just great popup with all settings that are important and good UI.

Good out of the box

Very nice plugin. Free version does the work and paid version is not expensive and adds interesting functions. Very customizable : you can build a popup with or without overlay, a banner, a small or big popup… More options in the free version than much others. Thanks to the dev !

this one works!

i tried some popular ones and guess what – they fail to work in my peculiar website, not to mention some of them are downright horrible in design and function (like – start by registering in our spammy page OR just freezes the whole thing for a few seconds and baaaam a ton of tasteless presets and options of no use).and this one’s just perfect, does what advertised in a most tidy way imaginable. bravo!!!

works pretty good!

it is easy to use. I needed a popup which opens when clicking a text link. The paid version is perfect for my needs for a really fair price.
