Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use any WordPress blocks in my modals?

Yes! The modal content area supports all WordPress blocks, including third-party blocks from other plugins.

How does the frequency control work?

The plugin uses cookies to track when a modal has been shown. Based on your settings, it will respect the display frequency you've chosen.

Can I have multiple modals on the same page?

Yes, you can create as many modals as you need. Each modal's trigger conditions are evaluated independently.

Is the modal accessible?

Absolutely! The modal includes proper ARIA labels, focus trapping, keyboard navigation (ESC to close), and focus restoration when closed.

Does it work on mobile devices?

Yes! The modal is fully responsive and you can even choose to show modals only on specific device types.

How do I trigger a modal on button click?

Set the trigger to "Click" and provide a CSS selector (like ".open-modal-button" or "#special-offer-btn"). Any element matching that selector will open the modal when clicked.

Can I customize the modal styling?

Yes! The modal uses minimal base styles, and you can add custom CSS to match your site's design. The modal content inherits your theme's block styles.

Does it impact site performance?

No! The plugin is optimized for performance with minimal JavaScript (under 3KB) and CSS. Modals only load the resources they need.
