LightPopup

Displays popups in WordPress. Content is built in the block editor. Triggers, targeting, and frequency are configured per popup. No external requests, no tracking, no jQuery.

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

What it does not do

• No analytics, tracking, or conversion metrics
• No A/B testing
• No built-in form builder — use any form plugin or block
• No external dependencies, CDN calls, or third-party services
