How the Popup Trigger Works

When a popup ID is entered, the button href is built as:

#elementor-action:action=popup:open&settings=BASE64_ENCODED_JSON

Where the encoded JSON is {"id":"YOUR_ID","toggle":false}. This is Elementor Pro's native popup trigger format and works alongside any display conditions you have set on the popup — no extra JavaScript required.

---

Customising Styles

All styles live in assets/css/promo-banner.css. The file is registered via wp_register_style and only enqueued when the widget is present on the page (Elementor handles this automatically via get_style_depends).

To override styles from a theme or child theme without editing the plugin file, add your overrides with a higher specificity selector, for example:

.elementor-widget-promo_launch_banner .sale-price {
    color: #your-colour;
}
