Setting up a pop-up banner with Popup Maker
Step 0 of 5 completed
1
Check your site has Popup Maker
Popup Maker is an additional plugin — it’s only installed on some InnerMedia sites, not all of them.
- Look for a Popups item in your WordPress admin menu.
- If you see it, follow the rest of this article.
- If you don’t see it, your site doesn’t have Popup Maker installed. Instead, use the Site Alert popup built into your site — see How to set up a site popup (under ACF → Alert Settings).
2
Reuse or create a popup
- If you’ve made a pop-up banner before (e.g. for a previous Open Morning), go to Popups, open the existing one, and duplicate it or edit it directly.
- To start from scratch, go to Popups → Add New.
3
Add your content
- Give the popup a Title (for your reference only — visitors won’t see this).
- Add your message, dates and any link in the main content editor, just as you would on a normal page.
4
Set when it should appear
- Scroll to Display Triggers and set the trigger to Time Delay/Auto Open.
- Under Targeting Conditions, choose where it should show — for example, the homepage only.
Pro Tip
The trigger must be set to Time Delay/Auto Open — without this, the popup won't appear automatically when someone lands on the homepage. 5
Publish and check it
- Click Publish.
- Visit your site’s homepage in a private/incognito window to see the popup as a visitor would.
- When the event has passed, edit the popup and switch it back to Draft so it stops showing.
