AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
WP Popup is a well-rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Popup category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 6 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How WP Popup works
Show full descriptionShow less
WP Popup is a plugin for implementing whatever you want to call them — modals, lightboxes, overlays or popups — on your site. While it offers fine-tuned control over where and when the lightboxes display, it was developed with the goal of being simple and lightweight: WP Popup won’t cause your site to take a big performance hit by loading lots of complicated and extraneous CSS and JavaScript.
WP Popup lets you use the standard WordPress post editor to build and configure your popups. In addition to full WYSIWYG editing of popup content, WP Popup gives you powerful control over what triggers the appearance of your lightbox. Triggers can be set so popups show:
Immediately on page load
After a configurable number of seconds
After the page is scrolled a configurable number of pixels
After the page is scrolled halfway or to the bottom
After the user has spent a configurable number of minutes on the site
After the user has visited a configurable number of pages over the past 90 days
On page exit (Exit intent)
In addition to those sophisticated trigger controls, you also get options on each popup for:
Mask background color: Choose an appropriate color and opacity to set as the background of the mask that covers your site.
Background image: Make a richer, more visually engaging popup by using a photo or illustration that fills the inside of the popup.
Background color: Choose an appropriate color and opacity to set as the background of the popup.
Width control: Set a minimum and maximum width.
Height control: Set minimum and maximum values along with pixels or percentages.
Padding: Control the padding within your popup.
Border: Add a border of any color, width and radius.
Opacity: Adjust the opacity of the popup.
Where to display: Choose whether to display on your site’s homepage, on all pages, on all pages except the homepage, or specific pages.
Scheduling: Configure whether users should see the popup just once, all the time, or periodically based on a schedule.
Mobile control: Avoid hits to your SEO by suppressing your popups from appearing on mobile devices!
Cookie identifier: Easily change how browsers know about this popup so you don’t have to save a whole new popup after fixing a typo if you want your updated popup to appear again.
Note: This plugin uses cookies, so if you’re bound by the EU or other regulations requiring you notify users of such, be sure to do so if you’ve got WP Popup enabled.
