How do I add a popup?

Popups are a type of small window that appears on a web page. You can use this feature to grab your visitors' attention or provide information without having to change pages.

To add popups follow these steps below:

  1. Click on Pages from the left-hand menu within your Website Editor
  2. Click the Popups tab
  3. Click + New Popup 
  4. Select a popup type. The popup type pre-populates the popup with widgets
  5. Type a name for your popup, and click + Add Popup 

Activate Popups

Unlike a page generated in the navigation automatically, a popup can only be triggered by being clicked as a link or by using a site personalization rule.

Link to a Popup

There are several widgets that allow you to link to a popup, such as Photo Gallery image links, text, and buttons. When editing the links for these widgets, select the popup option to open the popup selector.

Edit Popups

A popup is very similar to a page. You can add new rows, columns and insert any widget into a popup. To adjust the size of the popup, drag the bottom right corner.

Popup Settings

To edit the settings for a popup:

  1. Click on Pages from the left-hand menu within your Website Editor
  2. Click the Popups tab
  3. Click the Settings icon for a specific popup. You have the following options:
  • Rename. Rename the popup in the editor.
  • Duplicate. Creates an exact copy of the popup.
  • Delete. Deletes the popup. This action is irreversible unless you have a backup. 

Considerations:

  • Popup triggers only occur once per session. A session is any activity on the site and remains active until at least 30-60 minutes have passed.
  • To see your personalization rule in action, try 1) clearing your cookies and cache, 2) using another browser, or 3) waiting until the time has expired.
