How to insert pop-up

@cindyho – If you have created a popup (123) using the popup editor and you want to choose words while editing a post then you can use the Popup Maker button on the toolbar or the [popup_trigger id=123] text [/popup_trigger] shortcode.

Hope that helps.

Thank you, this works. The only thing is I need the words that link to a popup be the link color so that the reader can click on it. Do I just change the text color or is there another way to do this?

Thanks again.

@cindyho – You can style it however you like, but you could possibly edit your trigger and add the tag=”a” attribute or if you use the shortcode editor then change the tag from span to a.

Hope that helps.

Thanks again, but I am lost here. The answer you gave me before is to use the popup editor, how do I add the tag=”a” attribute or if I use the shortcode editor then change the tag from span to a? I appreciate your clarification. Clearly, coding is not my strong point.

@cindyho – If you are using our shortcode editor, when editing the popup_trigger shortcode there is a field on the last tab for “Tag”. It defaults to span, but changing it to a will make it a link, if you enter button it will be a button instead.

Hope that helps.

got this, thanks. Incidentally, is this information in the documentation somewhere I just missed?

@cindyho – No, our docs are undergoing updateing to match the new v1.4 interface. Currenlty the conditions guide has been updated as has the triggers/cookies docs, but not the shortcode stuff. Will get it taken care of in the near future.

Glad you found it though. Please take a moment to rate and review the plugin and or support.

I don’t know how to make the popup links inline, right now, each popup (see https://wangjingwei.org/zh/about-cn/trust-founder-ho-mang-hang/#1451603216213-b09738f7-34b7) is in its own line.
Please help, it’s a great plugin. Can you please give me the shortcode?

Thanks.

@cindyho – This is actually do to an issue in the WP Core methods for rendering shortcode previews. You can either disable the shortcode builder using a php snippet or use the text tab of the editor to remove the extra line breaks.

We have an issue on wp trac about this. Hopefully it can be worked out soon.

Thanks. Do you mean deleting the extra line space manually in the text editor? I did this but each time I save the deletes the spaces automatically return.

How do I disable the shortcode builder using a pho snippet? Sorry, I am not a code person, that’s why I appreciate your plugin.

We actually have a doc available about this issue. Like Daniel said, it’s not a PM issue, but a WP issue.

Here is the doc with all the info you need:

Why is my shortcode being create on a new line?

Edit: the Shortcodes docs have also been updated – check out the Shortcodes Category in the Getting Started section of our docs.

Hope this info helps you out!

Great, thanks. Disabling the shortcode builder did the trick. But I now have another problem. Only one of the popups works, even though all the settings are identical. If you look at the page (see https://wangjingwei.org/zh/about-cn/trust-founder-ho-mang-hang/#1451603216213-b09738f7-34b7) in the third FAQ, the first link is a popup I created by using the shortcode since the editor no longer works. It doesn’t pop. What am I doing wrong?

In both popups I checked off “This enables other popups to remain open.” I enabled the popup by copying and pasting the shortcode of the one that works, then changing the ID number.

I am having trouble finding the links to your popups. Would you mind providing a screenshot of where I should be looking.

Also, please provide both popup ID numbers as well. These can be found in the Popups > All Popups page in the WordPress Admin.

Thank you so much.
