CSS: I can’t target on which pages forms are displayed
-
Hi,
I’m really satisfied with the (lite version of) MailOptin plugin in general. But for 2 days now I’m trying to make a little customization and I still can’t find a way to resolve my issue.
What I’m trying to do is to choose on which pages/posts my in-post optin form is displayed. I know this is a Standard plan feature, but I’m trying to do it with css (display:none).
I tried different variations of this code:
.page #ZJxUAemSIs { display:none } .single #QICfWLNZwD { display:none }So, I have 2 different in-posts and I want 1) to display the 1st only on blog posts and 2) to display the 2nd only on pages. Essentially, I’m trying to target a single form and choose where to display it.
The problem is that I can’t do that.
One of the results I got is that both in-post forms are only displayed on blog posts and neither on pages.Also, the strange thing is that while I preview the changes in WordPress Customizer evrything seems perfect, but when I publish the changes and load my website, the mentioned above result (previous paragraph) is presented. I really don’t get this!
So, my question is “Is it possible to target specific forms with css without issues?”.
Thanks ??
PS. Suggestion to plugin’s author:
I believe that the lack of the ability to target on which pages forms are displayed (in the Lite version of the plugin) is not so practical. (Maybe that’s the point – I don’t know.)I mean, if I want to use 1 of the 3 available in-post “campaigns” (forms), I would have no other choice than to have it displayed on all of my website’s posts/pages! This is completely not practical. I can’t think of any real world circumstance in which that would make sense.
So, maybe you should consider the possibility to have the targeting rules feature available in the Lite version. Just a thought.
Thank you anyway, for an otherwise plugin-with-potential. ??

Hi Collins,
I cleared all kinds of cache, except maybe from the “clear MailOptin cache in settings” one. I didn’t find that option – where is it?
I also tried the last CSS code suggested. But I still have the same problem: both forms appear in blog posts and none appear in pages. It’s a strange issue. Do you have another suggestion or maybe should I be more specific about the issue?
As for my suggestion to you (about the limits of the Lite), I still believe you should consider it. I’m doing nothing more than just giving you feedback here (a well-meaning one).
It comes down to what kind of expierience you want for your Lite users. If it’s just to get a taste of your plugin (like a demo), then it makes sense. But if you want the Lite version to be actually usable, you should consider to include targeting options.
It’s a tough market you’re in. Other plugins have that option (and much more). I tried yours because I wanted a faster page load. It’s a good plugin (well done for your work!) and I’m just giving you feedback. You should evaluate if the lack of this feature hurts your plugin’s growth more than it helps. Especially if your Lite version is the plugin’s main lead generation. Standard version has more than enough others features to support its price tag (unlimited campaigns and triggers alone!). You just need to keep those first-time free users.
Anyway, thanks for replying. I wish you the best ??
