Long-form descriptionAlligator Menu Popup
This is a fork of my similarly named Alligator Popup Plugin. Unlike the original plugin, this one enables you to open the target of a menu item of your WordPress custom menu in a popup window. Add the ‘mpopup’ class to a menu item in a custom menu to open the target in a popup Window. Enables you to specify that a menu item on your WordPress custom menu will open in a new popup window. An admin page allows you can control the size of the popup window and whether it has scrollbars. Usage: You will find the Menu Popup Settings Page at Settings => Menu Popup Set the dimensions of the popup window and whether you want the popup window to be scrollable Then edit your custom menu at Appearance => Menus * Enable the CSS Classes option in the Screen Options pull-down panel on the menu editor page. Add the mpopup class to any menu item where you want the target page to open in a popup window. When the menu item is clicked, the link should now open in a popup window.
