What it does

  • Trigger types: time delay, scroll depth, exit intent, click on CSS selector
  • Targeting: all pages, specific post/page IDs, or by post type
  • Frequency control: always, once per session, once per day/week/month, once forever
  • Device filtering: desktop, mobile, or both
  • Frontend JS is loaded only on pages with an active popup — not sitewide
  • Visual templates with customizable colors and dimensions (ships with "Heart" template)
  • GDPR consent checkbox with custom label per popup
  • Custom CSS per popup
  • Shortcode [light_popup id="123"] for click-triggered or embedded popups
  • Extensible via light_popup_templates filter for custom templates
