Description

Insight Popup & Fly-out adds a panel you edit with normal WordPress blocks. A CSS class or ID anywhere on the site — a button, a link, or a menu item — opens that panel.

The panel has no fixed content. Put headings, images, buttons, forms, or any other blocks inside it.

FAQ

How do I edit a popup without the Site Editor?: Use Popups & Fly-outs in the admin menu. Create a panel, edit its content like a page, and set the open selector and display under Panel settings. Matching published panels are printed automatically.
Can I use a menu item as the trigger?: Yes. Add a CSS class to the menu item in Appearance Menus, then use that class as the open selector. The panel is moved to the end of the page, so header and menu triggers work.
How does the panel close?: Use the close button at the top right, click the backdrop, press Escape, or click the trigger again.
Can the panel open automatically?: Yes. Set Auto-open delay (ms) above 0. Use 0 to disable auto-open. A delay above 0 opens the panel on each page view. The trigger still opens and closes the panel.
Why does a form success message disappear inside the panel?: Set Prevent unintended close to Stay open until dismissed (or 2 seconds). Forms and add-to-cart inside the panel do not close it. The panel still closes via the close icon, the trigger, the backdrop, or Escape.
Does the plugin load scripts on every page?: No. Frontend CSS and JavaScript load only when at least one panel is rendered on that request.
How do I style a panel?: Use the Panel settings fields (colors, padding, margin, border radius). A light open/close motion is always applied. For further styling — such as the close icon — use Appearance Customize Additional CSS or your theme with the class .wpipf-panel. The close button uses .wpipf-panel__close.
Is there a Pro version?: Yes. Insight Popup & Fly-out Pro is a separate plugin.
