MakeITeasy Popup

Përshkrim

Need popups to grab your users’ attention? Marketing call-to-actions that open on scroll, timer, click, matched referer or even hover?
Multiple popups on one page? This plugin has it all. It provides styling consistent with core block editor blocks plus additional features.

Why choose Makeiteasy Popup?

❗ Unlike some other plugins, Makeiteasy Popup integrates seamlessly with WordPress,
feeling like a native, built-in WP block. It’s lightweight and self-sufficient,
without the heavy burden of a large blocks library.
It relies on a single tiny dependency – micromodal.js – with a combined total of only 10 kB of JavaScript ❗

Key Features

  • 🥇 Feature-Rich and free.
  • 🥈 Fully Open Source: Including the block source code. Fork and adjust as needed.
  • 🥉 Developer friendly: Hooks for modifications and unopinionated starting CSS.
  • ⏲️ Future-Proof Compatibility: Guaranteed compatibility with future WordPress versions.

Known limitations

Currently, opening several modal popups simultaneously is impossible due to the limitations of the Micromodal.js library.
Future versions will replace this library with the native Dialog HTML element, including automatic migration for existing popups.

Block options

The block sidebar provides many options, most of which function similarly to other blocks. Notable options include:
Opening time selector: See the detailed section below.
Layout type: Floating, Fixed, Attached
Popup Enabled: Temporarily hide the popup without deleting it.
Open on interval: Open on given interval in days.
Open on matching referer: Open if the user’s referral URL matches.

Layout Types

  • Floating: popup floats above content. Clicking on area outside popup closes it.
  • Fixed: popup is “fixed” to one of sides of screen — top, bottom, right, left
  • Attached: popup is attached to element on screen. When user scrolls, it moves with it.

Changing the Close button

Using Javascript:

import { ReactComponent as CloseIcon } from '../assets/close-x.svg';
addFilter( 'makeiteasy-closeButtonIcon', 'makeiteasy/makeiteasy-popup/close-icon', () => (<CloseIcon />) );

If you customize button this way and you already have posts(or pages) with popup block,
on post reopening the message “This block contains unexpected or invalid content.” will be presented.
In such case choose “Attempt to repair block” and if it looks good, save post.

Using PHP:

add_action( 'render_block_makeiteasy/popup', function($content) {
  $svg = file_get_contents( __DIR__ . '/path_to_file/close-button-dark.svg' );
  return preg_replace(
    '~(<button.*class="makeiteasy-popup-close".*?>).*(</button>)~m',
    "$1$svg$2",
    $content
    );
} );

Attaching Code to Modal Events

Custom events ‘makeiteasy/openModal’ and ‘makeiteasy/closeModal’ are fired on modal open and close.

How does the ‘CSS Selector’ field work?

The CSS Selector field, used in the “open on scroll,” “hover,” and “click” options, allows you to specify a CSS selector to identify the element that will trigger the popup. The selector can be of any complexity, but it must uniquely select an element. If multiple elements match the selector, only the first one will trigger the popup.
To define the trigger in practice, go to the advanced section of the desired block and specify an anchor keyword or an additional CSS class. For an anchor, use # as the prefix, and for a class, use . (dot). For example, if your anchor is myelement, you would use #myelement in the CSS Selector field.

How does “Show again after days” function?

When you enter number other than 0 under “Additional rules” section, in “Show again after days” textbox, the rule is set to initially open the popup. After reloading the page, popup will open only upon selected period in days expires.

I have been using various popup plugins for years now but this one is so easy to use and so versatile that it might be usefull to a whole bunch of users. Also finally having a proper Tooltip option is a huge advantage 😀

Utilizing blocks at their best. I love the unopinionated approach; it makes customization a breeze in countless possible ways. Great out-of-the-box functionality for less savvy developers, with lots of useful options and interactions. Special kudos for the different layouts (floating, fixed, attached) and modality features (modal, modeless). Looking forward to new development features like JS and PHP hooks.
