Thank you for a detailed review and 4 star rating for Icegram.

About the problems you faced, they were most likely due to some caching issue or conflict with another plugin/theme. From the description, it looks more like a caching related issue.

Inline, and other addons work very well for a lot of people. And I’m sure there is a way to make them work on your site too. If you’d like, email our support via our website.

Ribbon colors: yes, that’s a limitation in current approach. Many other message types allow changing background colors, but ribbons have limited color choices.

Once again, thanks for the feedback. We’d be happy to resolve problems on your site if you’d like.

@xenique: I believe you received response from the team and the problem was resolved.

Would you like to revise your review of Icegram now?

Thanks!

You can use a minimalistic theme and style it with regular WP editor (along with some additional Icegram specific CSS) as you like.

You can even create your own Icegram themes. There is a defined structure to Icegram themes. If you review any themes – or the theme pack plugins – you can make out how to create your own themes!

And Visual Composer should work with Icegram. I haven’t checked it recently though..

FYI: We added a “lazy load” option in Icegram specifically to work around caching problems. It’s in settings.

You may want to give it a try.

Lazy loading loads Icegram’s messages and needed JS/CSS using an AJAX request – bypassing problems that happen when the page is cached.

Hi Kamil,

This is certainly possible. You can use Icegram’s Inline addon and embed a form at the end of blog posts. There are other positioning options too, and you can fine tune what pages does this show on using targeting rules as usual.

Sorry about that.. I just checked our support system, but could not find any open emails from you..

Can you tell me the subject line of your email? I can look it up by that then.

Or if you can post your query here, we can answer it here.

Icegram can show any message to your visitors. You can then embed social login / social sharing code within an Icegram message if you like. Icegram itself does not do it.

Hi,

You can do this with a little bit of custom CSS. Add this to your message body in “Text” mode.


.ig_action_bar .ig_arrow_block {
float: left;
right: inherit;
left: 10px;
}


This should position all action bar arrows on left.

I also looked at your site and see that you have setup Icegram Remote.

If you want to use Icegram Remote (where Icegram is setup on one site and you want to show Icegram messages on another site), you’d need to specify the target site’s URL in targeting rules. Without that, Icegram won’t display any messages.

Since you are already on WordPress, there are two easy ways to achieve what you want.

1. Target the Icegram campaign to show on the entire site.
2. Use a shortcode to embed Icegram campaign on your “Coming Soon” landing page.

Both of these are available under “Targeting Rules” in Edit Campaign.

Icegram’s shortcode to embed a campaign on a page looks like this:

[icegram campaigns="6009"]

To summarize:

1. Install Icegram and create a new campaign on the site with Ultimate Soon Page plugin installed
2. Add a popup as the only message in this campaign. Set the display time and other elements per your choice.
3. In Targeting rules, you may select “Sitewide” (and the popup will show on every page) or don’t tick any boxes under targeting and only copy the shortcode from here. And then paste the shortcode on the Coming Soon Page’s content.
4. Save and publish the campaign.
5. Test and verify!

Let me know how that goes!

I checked your site. What’s happening is that some other plugins – AddThis etc – are causing some JavaScript errors. This is stopping Icegram’s JavaScript from loading and hence Icegram message is not showing.

Try turning off Lazy Loading from Icegram settings and check again. Or turn off AddThis / Facebook / MetaAffiliation / AWeber for a while and see if it works.

@changeagent: Do you have some caching system on? That could cause such behavior.

Also, check retargeting rules when you setup the campaign. Retargeting controls if the campaign should show to the user again or not.

If you use 1.8.10 version, it should work.. If it is not working, can you please contact us with your site details so we can take a look.

@astecadmin: Please try with latest Icegram release – 1.8.10. That should solve the problem.

Thanks Ben…

We minified JavaScripts and CSS (so that they load quicker) in 1.8.9. But that approach did not work on some setups.

In 1.8.10 we tweaked it a bit for better compatibility. ??
