Faq
People who use Popup Maker to grow their email list have found many creative ways to do so. Some of the most common popups include:
- Exit-intent popups – Asking for an opt-in when someone goes to leave your site, sometimes for a discount or PDF
- Content upgrade popups – Provide more value from your blog posts by giving visitors more resources in exchange for their email address within an optin popup
- White paper popups – Provide industry reports or other white papers using forms within a popup
Even better, Popup Maker integrates with all the most popular form plugins so you can easily embed a form you have already created right into your popups!
Many people don’t consider popups when trying to find ways to increase conversion rates and revenue on their WooCommerce site but they are actually very effective.
Some popups we have seen work well for ecommerce sites include:
- Cross-sell popups – recommending a companion product when viewing or adding a product to their cart
- Upsell popups – recommending a higher-tier product when viewing or adding a product to their cart
- Cart abandonment popups – offering discounts or support when someone is about to leave the checkout page
You can find our documentation over on our docs site
Using “triggers”, you can customize what makes each popup open. Review our triggers documentation here
Using “cookies”, you can set up how long until the popup opens again, if ever. Review our cookies documentation
Using “conditions”, you can specify where the popup will be shown. Check out our conditions documentation
There are several common causes for this, check this guide for help resolving it.
Reviews
Plugin update crashed my site
By wendymerritt on September 24, 2025
This is my review of the plugin - not a problem report or tech support request. This plugin crashed my site on the last update. After several hours from a support person it was back up and running. When it works - it's great. I guess it was just a failed update and for this reason it is a 4 star review.
Attention EU users! Not GDPR compliant anymore out of the box
By pixelready on September 17, 2025
Attention EU users! For several versions now, the developer has been loading a font directly from Google that could not be deactivated via backend settings or a custom function because it is embedded deep within the code, combined with other functions! This is not a good coding standard, but a clear violation of the GDPR!
We have received now responses to our review, and the plugin author provided a workaround (see comments below) - but still it's a pity that a former GDPR compliant plugin may bring you in trouble because of a not compliant change inside the code. I hope the problem would be solved asap.
If not we'll have a lot of work changing the plugin to another one which is GDPR compliant on many many client sites.
We'll keep you posted...
Annoying IMPOSIBLE to remove dashboard notifications
By Samuel.Stroh (dis.soska.arki) on September 5, 2025
I think you might put a lot of heart into this, time and effort, and I hate to do this, but I hate even more that I cannot GET RID OF THE DASHBOARD NOTIFICATIONS. Every time I open wp admin, mark the X it comes back! PLEASE FIX THAT, for the love of god!
NO MATTER WHAT I DO, THIS NEVER GOES AWAY.
Popup Maker Notifications (1)
Popup Maker detected an issue with your file system's ability and is unable to create & save cached assets for your popup styling and settings. This may lead to suboptimal performance. Please check your filesystem and contact your hosting provide to ensure Popup Maker can create and write to cache files.
Try to create cache again

Not compatible with Elementor and I don't ask for support.
By ratonperezlolita on September 3, 2025
It's not compatible with layout builders and the popup is super basic with no design, basically a square with text. Don't they know what professional web design is? They need to improve.
Great!
By parsmanyaser on August 30, 2025
Features are too much for a free app.
Thanks a lot!
Just what I need ed
By blederer01 on July 31, 2025
This is a great product. Easy to understand and implement. Lots of options to give it the look and feel that you need. Highly recommended
Really nice Popup plugin
By stclare on July 15, 2025
Really nice plugin, easy to use and has nice features. Feature Suggestion: I wish there was a feature to duplicate a popup, it would make making new popups easier.
Il popup blocca la pagina
By Umberto (umberto69) on June 22, 2025
Ho impostato un popup con un ritardo di 5 secondi su tutto il sito. Se faccio scorrere la pagina mentre si apre il popup, la pagina resta bloccata e il popup non Γ¨ visibile. Non c'Γ¨ modo di intervenire, l'unico modo Γ¨ un aggiornamento della pagina. Se non faccio scorrere la pagina e attendo l'apertura del popup, questo si apre regolarmente. Peccato, ho perso diverse ore per creare un bel codice html, per poi scoprire che il plugin non funziona sul mio sito.
Great
