Written in the block editor
Text, images, buttons, forms (e.g. DT-contact) and shortcodes – anything you can put on a page can go in a popup. Preview shows the popup on the website.
Popups and messages – when, where and for whom
Popups
Popups shows popups and messages that you write in the block editor – in the middle, in a corner, as a bar or full screen. You choose when, where, for whom and how often. Pro schedules them: between two dates, on some weekdays and at some times of the day.
- Free to use
- Works fully without Pro
- Prowhen you want more
In WordPress the plugin is called Datoden Popups – in the DT-addons menu it is listed as DT-popup.
How Popups works
DT-popup shows popups and messages to your visitors. Each popup is written like a page in the block editor, and below the text you choose how, when, where, for whom and how often it is shown. The popups are real dialogs in the browser: the keyboard stays in them, Esc closes them and screen readers read them correctly.
Four ways to be shown
In the middle with a dark background, in a corner, as a bar at the top or bottom across the whole width, or full screen. Width, background and text colour and movement (fade, slide or zoom in) are chosen per popup.
When it opens
After a number of seconds, when the visitor has scrolled part of the page, when the visitor is about to leave (the mouse towards the top of the window, or a quick scroll up on a phone) or on a click on a link or button to #popup-name.
Where and for whom
All pages, only the front page, only some addresses or all except some – * means anything, /shop/* is the whole shop. With DT-language also only some languages. Computers and/or phones, logged-in and/or other visitors.
How often
Every page view, once per visit, again after a number of days or only once – remembered in the visitor's browser. A popup that opens on click opens every time.
Closes the way visitors expect
The cross, Esc, a click outside, a link to #close inside the popup or by itself after a number of seconds. One at a time: if two popups want to open together, the second waits.
With page caches
Popups work also when the page comes from a page cache (DT-cache and others) – time, device, login and frequency are decided in the visitor's browser. The cache is cleared when a popup is saved.
Scheduling Pro
Show a popup only between two dates and times, only on some weekdays and only between some times of the day – in the website's time zone, also over midnight. A popup that starts while a visitor is on the page opens then.
What it looks like
Everything without a Pro label works for free. What is marked Pro is included in the Pro version.
Get started
After installing – how to set up Popups.
Make a popup
Go to DT-addons → DT-popup and click + New popup. Write the content like a page.
Choose how, when and where
Below the text you choose how it is shown, when it opens, on which pages, for whom and how often. Fields that do not apply to your choice are hidden.
Preview and publish
Preview shows the popup on the website at once. Publish, and visitors see it. The switch in the list turns it off and on.
Schedule (Pro)
Under Schedule you set from and to, weekdays and times of the day.

Frequently asked questions
How do I open a popup from a button?
Link the button to #popup-name (the popup's address name, shown in the list) or #dt-popup-123 with the popup's number. Choose On click on a link if it should only open that way.
How do I close the popup from a button inside it?
Link the button to #close.
Are popups shown when I use a page cache?
Yes. The pages and the language are decided on the server, the rest in the visitor's browser, so the popups are right also when the page comes from the cache.
Will a visitor see the same popup again and again?
Only if you choose Every page view. Otherwise it is remembered in the visitor's browser – once per visit, every X days or once.
What happens when a licence runs out?
Nothing stops working. A purchase never runs out, and when a subscription ends the plugins keep every function – only the updates from Datoden stop.
What is a major version?
The first number in the version. A purchase includes every update in that major version, for example all 1.x versions. A new major version (2.0) comes about once a year with clearly new features and comes at a discount as an upgrade. A subscription always includes it.
How are websites counted?
Websites connected to your Datoden account with a Pro plugin switched on, in the order they were connected. Disconnect a website in My websites to move the licence to another.
Do I need a licence key?
No. The website is connected to your Datoden account with Website Guard, and Datoden knows which updates your licences include.
Can I go back to the free version?
Yes. Deactivate Pro – the free version keeps running with the same settings. Functions that only exist in Pro stop, but nothing is deleted.
Do I keep the free version?
Yes. Pro is an add-on: the free version stays installed and active as the base and is updated from WordPress.org as usual, and Pro adds the Pro features on top. On WordPress.org the free versions are called Datoden …, for example Datoden Popups.
Is VAT included?
Prices exclude VAT. VAT is calculated at checkout from your country. Companies in other EU countries can enter their VAT number.
